Great suspense

Rating: 8/10 (19 November 2004)

I watched this older horror movie with an open mind, knowing already it was very popular in years past, a bit before my time though, yet I found the movie interesting and easy to watch, especially as Mia Farrow, thin and quite sexy, holds her own as a great actress.
She was just 22 years old in this movie and that was back in 1968. Not bad acting for a girl so young.
Anyway, the suspense builds up very slowly and by the time Mia chops off her cute hairdo for that dreadful reddish looking butch style hair cut, the story darkens as her suspicion grows about the strange neighbors next door.
Mia's dream sequences, caused by drinking the neighbors concoction seemed more like a sixties style LSD trip then anything else. That was all cool and so was the surprising nude scenes that I didn't think they did back in these kinds of 1968 movies. I hope more people watch this great suspense, its a real classic.
This movie really surprised me, in lots of ways. I gave it a good rating of 8/10.
