The gore was absolutely terrible. I've seen better looking gore in movies made in the 60s.



They mostly come out at night; mostly.

just a little too much gore for me...

a little predictable...
but pretty well done...

if you can get thru the gore... it is worth the watch.

not quite a 6 for me..
5.5 - 5.8

Not much of a horror person are you?

"great" and "classic" seriously??????

Not even close. Several of the 'killing scenes' were so far off-base they were beyond terrible. I've seen B-horror films with better plots/action.

The Model: Mahogany's first 'victim'; when the cam angles her face, she appears only bruised; knocked unconscious from the hard blow. No blood, nothing.

The well-dressed threesome: Lots of visual gore when the men are whacked, except curiously the first guy dramatically loses his eyeballs, brain matter, etc. all in a consecutive shot, and a way over-done blood splatter. The second guy, we get a brief long-shot and just visible spatter. Oooh. The woman - in spite her 'beating' somehow takes TWO blows for him to finish her off - and then the shot moves to show her brutish decapitation - wow.

The only great killing action scene was with the Green Beret (ha ha) 'life is like a box of chocolates'.

And I fully agree with previous posts. All that gruesome, violent killing - and Mahogany walks away unscathed and clean from head to foot???? Yes - because serial killers NEVER inherit their victims' blood.

Sorry Charlie

Yes, great but underrated. For the amount of splatter scenes, this movie also managed to be scary and suspenseful, to the point of terrifying.
The watcher truly feels what the victims go through.
As you mentioned, the characters were well-developed too.

Boycott movies that involve real animal violence! (and their directors too)
