A film I often think about replacing the director: if you took this exact same movie, with this script (and setting!), these actors and gave it to Dario Argento (in '73) he'd have carved an unforgettable masterpiece out of it. I do like a lot about the movie but that ending doesn't quite work for me - certainly not on its first viewing - unless it's "explained" to you and even then not really and who wants an ending "explained" anyway...... Lots of folks think it's a masterpiece as is though....

80s is the golden decade of horror. Only 70s horror masterpiece is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre although there's a bunch of other really good ones.
Lol...that sounded like a totally random thought that futuretrunks would bluntly blurt out at weird intervals of time....lel

More like... shit's awesome. It's a bummer that the rest of Nicholas Roeg's filmography does not sound as celebrated as this one exactly; even though I'm more than willing to explore more of him. Non-linear narrative and storytelling should not surprise us (who have had their enough share of Tarantino and Nolan in recent decades) at this point at all yet with him, it feels completely new... The leads and the locations are brilliant too.
