Remarkably underrated film which doesn't have all the tell-tale gratiuitousness and hackneyed scripts so common of 70s horror. Kane and Durning are at their best. Great suspense building and, as far as I can tell, this film introduces the glissando effect used in the THX sample!

The first 20 minutes were really good, but I didn't like the movie from that point onward.
