30 years later and still one of the best!

Rating: Null/10 (14 November 1998)

This is quite simply an incredibly engrossing film. Easily one of the best films of the horror/suspense genre, it benefits from a strong cast and enough time to flesh out the story. There are not a lot of films of this genre that can maintain a level of suspense past the 100 minute mark, but this film at nearly 2 hours and 20 minutes has no problem what so ever with that. If one did not know what the film was about when they first started watching, one would think it was about a young couple beginning their life together (kind of like "Barefoot in the Park"), but when the mysterious circumstances begin to take place and the strange neighbors come on the scene, one knows they're in for a rollercoaster ride of suspense. Quite simply one of the best, if not the best horror film ever made.
