tragic
this film,which begat bob clark's "black christmas",which in turn begat john carpenter's "halloween",had so much potential,what with a dream cast(especially bannen as the stalker),and such a path for atmosphere,but it's bad script and direction prevent it from being a classic.susan george's character is more incoherent than bannen's,and towards the begining i wondered how the hell she could be so scared before anything actually happened.and the ending is a default,as it looked like they didn't know how to end the film.really amateurish.and yet,it's still enjoyable.guess with all it's components,it could only go so wrong.but just imagine if bannen had a better director than semi-hack peter collinson.
