Thoughts?


I liked the story but it had some cheese in it. Maybe just not played out right. I never thought I would say this but I wouldn't mind seeing someone remake this. Someone with experience in the genre. Anyone else see this? What did you think of it?

I saw it when I was a kid and it was kinda scary. The old woman with the needle coming out of her eye was definitely the scariest thing I ever saw at the time. Should I go back and watch it again?

I think it's the weakest of the Pete Walker thrillers. Frightmare is the one that gave me chills when I was younger.

This is my fave of Pete's movies. Second would be 'The House of Mortal Sin', with the GREAT Anthony Sharp.

I hated this movie. The final revelation was laughable. ***SPOILER*** Why didn't the father simply stop his tiny daughter from stabbing her mother to death? Please.

On the other hand, i recently watched something else from Pete Walker called Home Before Midnight, which is a drama/sexploitation movie similar to Lolita. Anyway, it was a much better made, more shocking movie than Schizo.

......He wasn't her father. You were not paying attention, which is why you hated it!

First of all, it wasn't her father (as Spope2 pointed out). More importantly, the girl rushing her mother with a knife happened too fast for him in a sexually aroused state in bed, naked, to collect his senses quick enough to do much about it. Plus, when there's a huge knife wildly flashing about, you want to take action cautiously so as not to lose a couple fingers or your Captain Winky. By the time he processed what was happening, the mother was dead on the bed.
