The aspect of an 80s tinged horror film is knowing how to balance the style with a lighter sense of terror while still maintaining a sense of dread. "Night Of The Reaper" works well because it understands its working expectations and then switches it without trying to be overly clever...but yet becomes that because it is less assuming than others.

The concept of demon possession can be an interesting mode of psychological tells depending on how the story is told. With "The Puppetman", premiering on Shudder, it is about taking on a protagonist that doesn't quite know where the antagonist fits into the story.
