Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Yes, a classic
In addition to the other reviews, let me say that this thriller sneaks up on you. It is so "normal" at first - a guy and girl having an affair. But the psychotic twists to the plot are horrendous.
A minor note of interest: The song lyrics are by Dore Previn (Andre's first wife) and the music is by John Williams - although there isn't a lot - and is his cosmopolitan style at its best (before the bigger style used for Star Wars)
Rating: - Good little thriller
This is a little-known movie from the late sixties/early seventies that is actually very good. It has a pretty good premise and there is a lot of suspense. Carol White is very good and very pretty although I must admit, I don't remember seeing her in anything else. Scott Hyland is excellent as a disturbed former boyfriend of White's who finds out that she aborted his child. After she marries a politician (Burke), Hyland goes about trying to exact his revenge by kidnapping their first child. ... Read More
Rating: - CREEPY
It all starts off so nice, but it's so scary. Even more scary because the potential victim is a defenseless baby. I first saw it 30 years ago when I was 11, it affects me more now, I guess that's what parenthood does to you. Just out of interest, the baby in the movie would be 35 by now.Probably works in Silicon Valley, drinking Starbucks and eating sushi.
But the movie itself, a beautifully made and acted film, very underrated. An interesting period peice, complete with a San Francisco radio ... Read More
Rating: - a good 60's thriller
Mark Robson directed this film set in San Francisco which is entertaining and has its exciting moments. Naive young woman, new in town, falls for handsome psycho...and then the fun begins.
The great Ernest Laszlo did some fine cinematography, the John Williams score (except for that interminable, awful title song) is excellent, and the script by Larry Cohen and Lorenzo Semple Jr. has some well thought out scenes.
Carol White (who looks and sounds a little like Julie Christie did ... Read More
Rating: - Creepy drama that makes you think....
The Pre-Row-v-wade 60's horror take on the abortion issue, it still works today. Creepy ex is much like the ex from Fear (Mark Wahlberg) and has the same energy as Scream and Fatal Attraction blended in the late 1960's. A must see if you like to be freeked out without all the gore and use your head...
