I recently bought the DVD of this film. It still holds up after thirty years. I first saw this film as a child. It left an impression on me that still persists today. The movie was filmed in the 1970's but it still has a timeless quality. Many of the themes of war and families not functioning are as relevant today as they were in the 1970's. The horror is more implied than presented. It is a haunting movie with a great ending. The DVD includes interviews and commentaries. I highly recommend this film. This is one of the few horror films that I can still remember watching as a child. Another great movie of that era is Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It would be great to see these two films on a double billing.
