Almost no sound or dialogue?

same thing, its got no sound, no music to speak of, and not much dialog, is it intentional or low budget ???

This is YOUR LIFE and it is ending one minute at a time!

Before films turned into noisy computer generated special effects, movie makers relied more on style and atmosphere to tell a story. Films like Thriller are immeasurably better than the garbage Hollywood is responsible for today. The quiet, subdued tone of Thriller is used to build suspense. Personally I find it impossible to look at Hollywood action films without getting a headache from all that noise and those CGI effects being hurled at the audience, as if we were idiots that need everything spelled out for us.

I think the fact that there is hardly any dialogue or soundtrack is one of the films strong points - it gave it more believability. Plus, 70s soundtracks do tend to age movies a lot.
