***CONTAINS A SPOILER*** This is a creepy chiller from GEORGE ROMERO. It doesn't really work on a shock and a shriek level but is creepy and bleak throughout. The film is blessed with excellent acting from all concerned and raises serious questions about society. The scene where a man in a Satan mask tries to force his way into the house chills the blood as the border between fantasy and reality becomes increasingly blurred. A minor classic from one of the last truly great horror directors. May not be to all tastes. My rating - 7 out of 10.
