Soft No for me. I think it's a good film, but neither host really swayed me on why it's Canon worthy. I also didn't feel it was historically significant although it does show a bit of prescience.

This pretty much sums up my feelings. In the Canon? Yes, of course. It was "viral" before there were the online mechanisms that makes things viral as we've come to know them. It really started the most recent wave of Found Footage films, for good or bad. It may not have resonated with me even after three viewings between first release and last weekend but it's impact can easily be felt in pop culture. I may not like it or find it scary in the least, but it's significant.

I have to vote no. While the technical work and practical effects were great, the film itself was boring and desperately needed editing.

Easy Yes for me. Of all the classic Brooks comedies I think this is the one that remains the most relevant 40+ years down the road.

Strong Yes, simply due to cultural significance. OBEY and associated imagery. has become part of the pop culture lexicon.
