Superb horror classic

Rating: 9/10 (4 November 2018)

I was born 15 years after the release of this film so I obviously wasn't around for the controversy that surrounded it at that time. Growing up I heard about it, among other films that had been banned, and I was intrigued.
I was probably around 15 the first time I finally got round to watching it and I was in awe. I was genuinely shocked at some of what went on, even by today's standards it was grim, grim enough that you can forgive the dated makeup and special effects.
I'm now 30 and have just finished watching again and it's still as great as the first time I watched it.
