Absolutely marvellous Shaw brothers classic. Definitely strong influence on Kill Bill. I watched the dubbed version which seemed OK. Art direction terrific. The ending is an over the top bloodbath









Fantastic

This might be an OK movie. I couldn't really tell with the very murky 3D. I was unfortunate enough to see it in this format against my usual preference. When will they stop? No one can possibly like this format. Just stop it

The 3D effects were worthless. The shaky, zooming camera made action in comprehensible

This also seems to be turning into a soap opera like other long running series with multiple characters (fast and furious) I don't want to knock the film too much S I was too exasperated and alienated by the poor visual quality

This is a real undiscovered horror gem from the 1970s. it deserves to be rated alongside the Carpenter's, Romero's, Craven's etc. It possibly isn't as celebrated as it is hard to see and Huyck didn't do any more horror so it is a one off. It is beautifully photographed in wide screen. I didn't get any of the soundtrack probs that some people referred to. The supermarket scene and the movie theatre scene are both outstanding. If you do manage to track this down (pirate?) the shear unpredictability makes it refreshing. There is also obvious cine-literacy. Elisha Cook pops up to play his usual fall guy entertainingly. The cinema is appropriately playing "Kiss tomorrow goodbye" on its marquee. The three women are all incredibly sexy (although the guy's clothes style is somewhat dated!)

I really recommend this
