Underplayed

Rating: 6/10 (30 October 2017)

Not much to complain about really. Looks and sounds good for the age. Probably a bit oversaturated and tinny compared to modern releases. Interesting idea and probably well done at the time but it is too subtle since the seventies graphic intense revolution. Problem is that it is not that scary. It should be because her neighbours worship the devil and recruit her husband. Not only that but you are raped by the devil and forced to gestate its only child. There are secret doors and crazy drugs and sects but it is all underplayed so that it is not scary, creepy or has suspense. For shame! Even The Omen (1976) executes the idea better. If you can get past how much it is underplayed it would be quite good.
