I saw it when it was released and 10-15 years ago on DVD. While I know what is coming, the big reveal scene around the dinner table still makes me jump.

One of the reasons that scene works is that the only actor that knew what was coming was John Hurt. Everyone one else there was just as surprised as the audience!
