It's a classic, a thing unto it's own. Gotta see it, trust me. It's a strange, creepy low budget B-movie from the 80s, so don't expect lots of action like we get in modern films -- it's more of a slo-burn character study, featuring some good gore FX from Tom Savini. But it's a landmark film, in terms of totally pissing off lots of cinema-violence watchdogs back in the day. It kicked off a real media firestorm which shone a very harsh light upon our beloved genre, and it forced some movie makers to tone down their act for awhile.
