Oh wow! This news just made my day. I haven't seen Deadly Friend since we saw it at the movie theater in 1986. It probably sucks now, but in a good way.

I had no idea this was Wes Craven. Me and my sister used to watch this all the time when we were kids.

Well, looks like I might spring for a movie on SD DVD for the first time in about a year and a half.

I can't resist Bee Bee and the "Basketball of Death."

I just watched this for the first time, coincidentally, and wow, THAT is a guilty pleasure without reservations. Any movie that features Ma Fratelli as the miserable old woman next door, let alone a horror movie, is definitely worth $10 from me for the DVD. And yes, it's all about the basketball of death, a scene that's not overhyped at all.

By the way, that ending? That was, uh, what the hell happened?

The ending was studio forced. But it disturbed me as a kid and creeped me out,lol.

I really like this film though,and bought the VHS last year from a rental store to revisit it. And thought it was still an enjoyable flick. I sold the tape though since I was aware it was coming out on dvd this year.
