I think has never been surpassed for its crescendo of horror, for the building sense of doom which explodes in maniacal fury. Seeing a reasonable guy become deranged bit by bit.... I found it disturbing. Also, the story of the young girls and the bartender....... creepiness on an unmatched scale. Add to all of this magnificent set decoration, score, and photography and you have terror raised to a Poe-like artistry.
