I loved this movie when I saw it on VHS a while after it came out. Wow! What a great movie. De Palma at his finest. Most of the critics panned it, but so what. Roger Ebert gave it 3.5 out of 4 stars and he was correct. The driller-killer was absolutely terrifying.
I have been thinking about this movie for years now. I remember an old movie about a driller-killer and how great it was but I could never remember the name of it. It’s been driving me crazy. Now the mystery is solved.
Great old classic movie from 1984, 30 years ago.
N. B. Golden age of porn pornstar Annette Haven stars in a bit role. De Palma had wanted to star her in the lead, but eventually he settled on Melanie Griffith, who was a fine actress in her time.
