It is one of these films that was "scary", in the cerebral sense of the word. I found it very subtle, in creating the atmosphere of horror, sometimes is enough to work...sometimes not. It takes alot of things to come together, to have it work effectively.It's one of them there "intellectual" films, like "Farenheit 451", "THX whatever the number is", "Collosus..The Forbin Project", "Day of The Dolphin", "Rage", etc.. Remarkably short on slash and blood and gore, heavy on making you use your noodle...
sometimes too much.Depending on a person's threshold of what Horror is, sometimes this cerebral stuff is enough to put you under the sheets faster than Freddy Kruger ever could !!!
