I saw this film as a child when it first came out, and can tell you that some of the gory images have remained with me to this day, over 40 years later. My brother and I saw the movie together at the neighborhood theater, and the movie has left its indelible mark on us both. This is a horror movie in the true sense of the word. It is gory and graphic. I give it a 7 rating primarily because of its lasting impact. True horror. For many years I recalled the name of the movie as 10,000 Maniacs, and had trouble finding it in movie review books, probably due in large part to the band of the same name. I recently read that the band was (mistakenly) named after the movie, as the movie had a significant impact on some of the band members as well. A must-see for true gore fans.
