This movie spooked me big time when I was a kid, and now it still gives me a creepy feeling! My mother said she didn't like this movie because of the creeps she got from it. Well, that shows that the writer and especially the director accomplished their goal, right? Let's face it--horror movies with gore and growling monsters and such just aren't scary--just corny. The creepy feeling you get while watching and after watching movies like this is what makes them scary.George C. Scott is a great actor, Trish VanDevere is hot, and the movie will scare the hell out of you--what more can you ask for? And for [...]?--what a steal. Buy it!
