Underrated little horror
I saw this,movie many years ago and it stuck in my mind,I was never sure why. I recently obtained a DVD-R and again really enjoyed it. There was a great deal of suspense,an effective monster who is made all the more effective by being briefly glimpsed,a pretty exciting climax and a moving element of sadness in the back story. I agree with those who say it's too dark but I thought some of the photography was very good,which made me think that the whole dark aspect was an intentional experiment which didn't quite come off.
I think I have a cut version as it cuts away from the killings just as you think you're going to see something,although the opening rape was still pretty horrible. It's no classic,but quite underrated,and demands an uncut DVD release. Far worse movies of a smilar nature have been released.......
