Absolutely spellbinding... and creepy. Cult film all the way
To the poor sap who hated the movie, I'm sorry. It is a little creepy watching it just as a movie. It seems pretty tame now, actually. The thing that makes it scary is that this actually happened. It is based on a true story. Chill bumps run down my spine when I think of that kind of torture being inflicted on someone for no apparent reason. Also, the camera work was great... it captured events at all of these great angles. It captured the story as only Tobe Hooper can! Whoever picked the music for this movie also did a good job. That happy "do-do-do" kind of music in the van scene when they pick up the hitch-hiker is creepy. The plot was good, and after the movie is over.. whether you have to just walk to your VCR to get out the tape or out of the theater to your car, you are paranoid the whole way. Not very often can a film do things such as this.
