Love this film.
was intrigued to find a 1970s horror that I'd never heard of,so had to dip my toe in that water. in my humble opinion no classic,the Wicker Man & the Exorcist from the same year will always be occasionally revisited, this one i can safely say will never be,but an interesting experience & definitely a box I'm gald I've ticked. some campy performances, design & scenes that are entertaining,but overall a fairly hollow experience. to me,it falls somewhere between Carnival of Souls & Dead & Buried,but is not as ethereal as the former, or as much fun as the latter. the question that stays with me is; why does a waistcoat with a button front have a side zipper🤔
Kinda sucks. It's not bad enough to be good, but it's definitely not good either. No boobs either.
one of my favorites
Iconic movie theatre scene.
