Terror and irony

Rating: Null/10 (16 September 2000)

This film is quite scary even today. It's the mysteriousness and the fact that everything seems normal on the surface that makes this movie so riveting. It's more of a psychological movie than a run of the mill horror film. If you want to see a real horror classic, I recommend it. Ironically added to all that was the murder of Polanski's pregnant wife Sharon Tate by Charles Manson followers, which in ways mirrored the film itself.
