Innerspace (1987) ****

"Talk about frightening experiences, you ever tried slam dancing?"

"I'm in a strange man, surrounded by strangers in a strange room."

"Demons talk through you, not to you."

With innovative (Oscar-winning) effects by Dennis Murren (plus some wonderful makeup via Rob Bottin) , hilarious physical gags and dialogue, a great (as always) Jerry Goldsmith score, and an excellent cast (including lots of Robert Picardo; always welcome), Joe Dante's Innerspace (1987) is a Hitchcockian sci-fi comedy that holds up incredibly well almost 40 years on.
