A pilgrim!

Rating: Null/10 (3 December 1998)

I remember the enormous reaction this film caused in 1973. When I recently saw it on TV I could recall all those feelings I had for the film 25 years ago. TERROR...of the unknown. Few horror films since then have been able to create such reactions. The atmosphere created in the film is very important as well as the central story. Parallels to Alien,1979, aren't too far away. This film must surely be up amongst the clasics such as Psycho if not only on the basis of its originality at the time. That there since has been produced a plethora of copies (Scream for instance) that come nowhere near the Original cannot be due to the shortcomings of this excellent film!!
