Very Gripping

Rating: 9/10 (17 October 2000)

I watched this movie on TV (the original release- more explicit version) on the supposedly scariest night of the year (I beg to differ)- Friday the 13th. This movie was different than I thought it would be, it was better. I really did not expect scenes like the crucifix-masturbation scene which really made me consider watching the rest in the morning. It was very gripping, very thrilling. Stands out from the horror genre we're used to (all the Scream like slasher flicks). The acting was wonderful, especially from Ellen Burstyn and of course Linda Blair (then only in the beginning of her career). Worth seeing, very different from the horror movies I had seen til now, could be better.
