Simply the best horror film i ever seen!, 9 December 2003
10/10
Author: falo-2 from Norway/Sweden

Great actors and great story. I´ve seen it twice on video when it was released i Sweden in the mid-80. It have no great FX in it if you compare it with todays standard, but it doesent matter. You don´t need that with all the great actors in this film. It´s a shame i can´t buy it on DVD or rent it anymore!!!......
