Negative Positive
Title: A horror gem
Review: Renting this out of curiosity (I am a devout HALLOWEEN fanatic), I found an odd movie that works quite well within its genre. Nice direction by Bob Clark (who ironically also did A Christmas Story, very popular on cable during the holidays), with the infamous "point of view" shots that predate Halloween. The music is fairly subdued, mostly atmospheric piano noise, paralleling Keir Dullea's character. This creates some unnerving tension. Margot Kidder is a kick. The murders are disturbing in that gritty style unique to the 70's. And that eye peering out near the end...it gives me chills and that doesn't happen very often. I'd love to see this movie come to DVD.
Is the review positive or negative?
