Sure you might be thinking to yourself why in the heck is he doing a review for a movie that came out in the 70's. Well to be honest I read about this movie and how they changed the movie for the orginal dvd release. They toned it down, I think is what they called it. Then I found out that it was rereleased and that it was uncut. So I just had to see what all the fuss was about and why they felt the need to cut this film down in the first place. I still am not sure what all the fuss is about. Sure the movie contained a few breasts here and there but nothing that would make the movie need to be trimed down. It does have a few scenes were the victim is stripped of her top and then the bad guy strangles here, but does that not seem to happen in every horror film... Really this film does not really deliver on any scale. It was suppose to be a horror film with lots of T&A but the few shots that it had were not what I would call a lot of T&A. The horror aspect of the film is not scary. This movie should be labled more of a mystery / detective movie instead of the horror label that it got. I got more entertainment watching the grindhouse presents trailers then I did from watching the movie. I guess I was just expecting a little more.
