I remember seeing this as a child...It would come on TV every now and then. As a little boy, I could never get past the opening scene where Eve Plumb comes home and finds all that blood. I was terrified that it was real. Seeing this 30 years later, it has lost more than a bit of the terror it held over me, but with that said, it is very well acted. The detective story is pretty run of the mill, and not as clever as Columbo, but a notch above Murder She Wrote. The final scenes are pretty powerful and the dialog seems very risqué for the 70s. It is great to see this again; it is very well made for a TV movie and it made me long for the days of 70s TV. Now all we got are Lifetime movies, which are pretty dumb. This movie is not on Netflix, but I was able to order one from www.adifferentcity.com the copy is fine.

Not as scary as I remember, but very cool nonetheless
