To be fair, this movie has not aged well. Everything about it says 1972, I mean in a bad way. On the other hand, this is the same quality that makes it enjoyable- it's just so dated I had to keep watching to see the next ugly piece of harvest gold or olive green furniture.
The costumes are glamorous and for some reason, whatever happens to the female characters, their makeup and hair are always perfect- day and night - sun or rain - walking or sleeping or desperately running for their lives! Did they even have waterproof mascara back in 1972???
Like I said, the same things that make this movie laughable and campy also add to the enjoyment, which is probably not what the movie studio that financed this movie hoped for.
The acting is terrible. Did they employ ventriloquists? Some of the actors can speak without moving their lips! But I guess the glamor makes up for this small shortcoming, dialogue.
The musical score is effective. The settings are good. The camerawork is nothing special. Yes there are some creative and bizarre scenes that really drive home the creepy factor. But they don't make up for the overwhelming shortcomings.
Overall a C+. Nothing special, the the glamor and creepy atmosphere are worth watching. If you see this movie once, you will have no desire to ever see it again.
