When this film was first releases back in the 70s it was considered scary, and maybe there are some creepy parts, but I mostly found it boring, the remake was better and that's saying something. I watched this after a friend of a friend referred it, and the way they built it up, lead me to believe this film was going to be epic. Turns out, not so much! Not a film I would watch a second time.

TDcore's Horror Journal 2018: Pt. 4 (50 movies items)" A riff on the classic urban legend of "the killer is calling from inside the house", and the first film to use it, this one goes in a lot of unexpected directions, mostly in a good way. It's not a paint-by-numbers slasher film, like most would expect, but instead spends much more time telling the story from the viewpoint of a detective obsessed with hunting down the madman, and even the madman himself. That's my biggest gripe with the film. We're told that this man committed unspeakable acts, "
