One of my favorite movies. But please, try to watch the original version of 1973, not the one they re-do from this one but with new images etc lately. This is a masterpiece. To me, it asks the question of evil, what it is, why it is etc. And Behind all the freaking things, there is this question, and of course, the movie is a real gem, made by one of the greatest director ever, and played by great actors as well.
