Title: Do NOT buy this movie!
Review: This wonderful 1978 TV mini-series is an all-around classic on many levels. It is not only a time-capsule of 1970's TV film-making, but it is an excellent adaption of Thomas Tyron's book. If you remember watching this movie on TV around the fall as a child, you will be terribly disappointed by the hatchet job done to this movie on the video store version. Not only have great scenes been cut out, but so much has been chopped the story is intelligible. Here's what the video is like:Wow! Look at those people in old fashioned clothes farming!Wow! Let's buy an old house here!Hey! I don't think I like it here very much. Let's move!No! This is where I am staying!Wait! Stop! No! Please no!The end.Roll credits.Hideous. If you honestly want this movie, I suggest going to horror conventions and/or keeping an eye out at online auctions. The full 185 minute version can be found there ranging in price.... Pricey yes, but it is a true find for the die-hard horror collector.
