This definitely influenced "Beetlejuice", "The Thing", "Alien"
The nightmarish claustrophobia, the eerie lighting, the extremely jarring industrial soundscape, the inability to decipher reality from dream state...
This movie takes a page from Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven", and rediscovers some of what made that great in its time, but for a post-modern era.
Wow.. I tried watching this as a 19 year old but couldn't handle it.. 10 years later.. brilliant!
This film seems extremely influential/ahead-of-its-time; definitely a touchstone in the history of horror and film.
I have been enjoying (most) everyone's interpretation of it -- bravo y'all.
