Although not a commercial success, and poorly received by critics, it won the British Society of Cinematographers Award for Best Cinematography in 1985 for cinematographer Alex Thomson,[3] as well as being nominated for multiple awards: Oscar for Best Makeup; Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films Saturn Award for Best Makeup; BAFTA Awards for Best Costume Design, Best Makeup Artist, Best Special Visual Effects; DVD Exclusive Awards; and Young Artist Awards.[4] Since its premiere, reinforced by the 2002 release of the unrated Director's Cut, the film has been called a cult classic.[5][6]
