Turn around, look at what you seeeee'... It's 1984, I am 9 years old and I walk out of the cinema mesmerized. Now the year 2019 and I must have seen this film over 50 times and I know it by heart. Other films I loved as a child (and still do) were Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. Looking at these films now I find some of it a bit disturbing and dark, filled with a lot of occult symbolism.

I used to be a film critic and I have worked as a film programmer (mostly Asian/Japanese). Now I am not going into detail about what the story is about, but more about how I felt about the film. Just sharing, just making conversation. Would love to hear what you thought [...]
