I cannot believe that anyone on this site could have thought this film was any good, one said best film they had ever seen, unbelievable.
One of my film bibles used to be Leonard Maltins review book, but I am not sure if he actually writes the reviews now, he gave it two and a half stars, I expected it to be a BOMB (rubbish).
The film is trying to pretend that women can be as crude, and find the same things funny as men, most women I have known do not fit this category. A song and dance routine about a penis, a scene about a stain on a dress which was so obvious. Terrible.
To everyone on this site who thought this was funny I suggest renting any Coen brothers film, to see how comedies should be made.

Back in 1973 I had a Bell and Howell 16mm projector and used to hire films to show to family and others.
This film was one of them and I can remember it scaring people back then.
Yesterday I watched it again through a modern projector, as BBC 2 had shown it recently, and thought it was just as good now as back in 1973.
It benefits from being shot in black and white, the acting is very good from all the cast, and there are some scary moments, the swimming pool being an obvious one.
It is really good to see an old fashioned horror film with no over-the-top effects, just a genuinely chilling story, well worth waiting for it to be shown again as not sure if available on DVD or video.
