Such a terrific cinematographer to nab for a slasher flick. Though I have to say I don't find this film to be particularly well shot, especially given the cinematographer also done Barry Lyndon which has arguably the best cinematography I've seen in a film.

The cinematography is pretty good all things considered, it's just a drab, cramped setting that looks like it'd be a nightmare to get proper lighting and camera angles in. Some of the later scenes when it gets much darker look more impressive.
