For all the praise this film gets as a kind of proto-slasher movie, i couldn’t quite warm up to it. It’s such a mess full of weird editing choices and most of all, huge problems in regards to overall tone - like the film can’t decide if it wants to be a serious drama or a comedy, to the extent that it feels like the actors are performing in different movies altogether. So it’s up to lead actress Olivia Hussey to hold everything together which is easier said than done because although her role is pretty much the only one not comically exaggerated, absurdly overacted or painfully clichéd, there ain’t all that much psychological depth to her character to work with either. She makes the very best of it though and despite her performance being easily the best thing about this movie, it can’t make up for the aforementioned failings. An interesting film for sure. A great one… not so much.
