Are behavioural boarding schools usually known to board 21yros? Just asking. Anybody know? Anybody? - @Sunday, November 11, 2018 11:15 AM

I bought the DVD when it first came out and the DVD came with a comic book of the movie. This movie is one of my all time favorites. - @Wednesday, August 1, 2018 10:18 PM

I loved this movie when it came out on DVD. I was 18 at the time and it was one of the first movies I rented from Blockbuster because I thought it had the alien kid from the SOAD Aerials music video. Now Max Landis reminds me to rewatch it because it has Werner Herzog. I just finished watching Running Scared. No Werner and Cameron Bright isn't the alien kid. 30 minutes after watching the movie and it is still showing off twists. - @Tuesday, April 17, 2018 10:05 PM

I just watched this movie, and I have no idea what twist you're referring to, or what fantasy elements you're talking about. That said, it was wild as fuck, so at least I got that. It was stupid, but it was wild. - @Monday, October 10, 2016 11:43 AM

Song is Muse, 'Time is Running Out'. Not their best, but still, Linkin Park are fucking dire compared to Muse. - @Friday, July 15, 2016 12:19 AM

The premise of this movie reminds me alot of a French movie that came out a decade earlier. It's called "La Haine". Who ever reads this comment. Go check it out right now. Go. You'll thank me later. :) - @Saturday, June 25, 2016 10:45 PM

Max Landis was at a boarding school at age 21? The internet says he was born in '85. - @Tuesday, January 12, 2016 11:34 PM

Woefully underrated movie that holds a special place in my memories because I was working at a movie theater during its theatrical run. Multiple times since we got the print for this film we kept running into problems with people buying tickets to the "Paul Walker Movie" and getting upset when instead of taking their kids to see Eight Below, they started watching Running Scared. - @Tuesday, December 22, 2015 6:01 AM

Good man Landis. Nobody's mentioned the scene with the kids and the cameras? It's got to be the most skin-peelingly tense scene I've ever watched. It's so brutal. It's one of the most memorable moments I've ever had with a movie. - @Tuesday, April 14, 2015 3:16 AM

I totally knew this movie. Saw it when I was 13. Probably wasn't supposed to. But holy hell was it awesome. Way better than I would have guessed now. No one ever talks about it and that's a shame. - @Thursday, April 2, 2015 5:43 AM

Perhaps the Trailers From Hell producers should proof their videos for accuracy before posting. That's not Herzog. This kid is either pretending or just stupid. Probably both. - @Tuesday, February 24, 2015 5:34 PM

Landis screaming at the end of this trailer is further verification of how deeply he engages with movies. This dude is awesome. - @Tuesday, July 1, 2014 4:58 PM

That's definitely John Noble. Werner Herzog played and awesome villain in Jack Reacher though :) Love this movie. Between this and your take on Gremlins 2, that's all the affirmation I need. - @Wednesday, April 23, 2014 3:53 AM
