Nice classic film.
Definitely a classic. Iconic opening. The rest is eh.
I really enjoyed the movie.
The opening scene is classic. Fun to check out for that segment and the 1970s-style film making.
The iconic opening is essentially a remake of the director's short "The Sitter" from two years prior. "The Sitter" is a frightening film in its own right, and Carol Kane perfects the role in this version. The middle act transparently was added to pad the film to feature length, but once Kane's character reappears in the third act, the film sharpens and builds to another shocking domestic scene. Not to be missed.
