The woods are lovely, dark and deep, in this film.

Hadn’t seen it since I was 12 or so, thought it was underwhelming then, felt the same now.

But, it has the “rail gun,” which was briefly all the hotness among nerd boys in the late 90s and early 00s. My only lasting question is whether this movie caused that fad, or was just an instance of it?
