| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonThe film scores as an effective thriller. |
| User ReviewSteven P TShot at the Congdon Mansion in Duluth Minnesota, the site of the real Congdon murders, on the north shore of Lake Superior. The movie is a real chiller and great to watch on a dark stormy night. |
| User ReviewCynthia KI remember watching this movie and being on the edge of my seat the whole time. It was frightening in a real way(something that could actually happen) as opposed to "monsters who never die" kind of movies. The tension starts early in this movie, and quickly turns to fear. Richard Thomas went from 'John-Boy Walton' to the best villain I can possibly imagine. He was so scary, in fact, that I was sure I never wanted to see him act in anything again. He seemed so evil, that I couldn't see him as a good guy anymore. As time passed, I saw him in "It", and I finally forgave him. Very silly of me, I suppose, but this movie was truly memorable. The movie is also a feast for 70's buffs, or for people who lived through the Viet Nam years. The plot, however, is just as current now as it was in 1971. The movie is just as scary now as then, and would still appeal to today's movie-goers. |
