This creaky old turd was impossible to get through without my Ritalin. I hate these 1970s movies that crawl along with absolutely nothing happening for 20 minutes at a stretch... people just standing around, people just driving around... people just sitting around... all in broad daylight... that robot woman who aims a gun at that guy and demands his I.D., did she go to the Blockwood School of Acting? Cuz she's a block of wood. Absolute paralysis of the face. I swear to God, they did a slow zoom on her face at one point, and I'm pretty sure it was a photograph since she was so frozen stiff.

Just terrible. F you all.

I`m sorry for my lack of manners, but I`m not used to escorting men.

I am usually a fan of 1970s horror and think it's without a doubt the best decade for horror movies, but I do agree that there are much better films from the era. This movie is okay. I neither love it nor hate it. It does have it's share of dull moments, but overall it isn't too bad. Black Christmas is much better.

Black Christmas is much better. Anything is better!

It's a decent low budget effort from 1972.

It is bested by many other films, notably Black Christmas which is a very apt comparison piece, however the film deserves it's dues for some of the techniques used. It utilizes many slasher tropes and it's one of the earlier examples of doing so.
