Severely overrated, had I not seen the remake before this I would have no clue as to what the hell was going on. Deaths were cheesy, I get it was the 70’s but the blood was so obviously paint that it was hard to get past. Almost nothing happened and there was no mention of witches until well into the second half of the movie. I’m not how this is considered a horror masterpiece when first of all this isn’t scary, the only thing even remotely suspenseful, not even scary, was the music. The deaths were horrible and so easy to predict, and the acting wasn’t all that great anyway so it made that much worse. The 2018 remake is by far superior to this in terms of acting, story, camera work and was honestly more scary than the original, basically better than the original in every way. I know some people will hate this but it is just opinion and you can live the movie if you want to, but I didn’t for all the reasons I stated above. I certainly won’t be watching this again anytime soon.

This is deeply unsettling film, it may be overly long but all that takes place in the film adds to layers of fear it possesses. The backdrop and conflict of the film make it an intriguing watch and add to the depravity if the world that the film takes place in. Everything from that to the way they dance and certainly the music and imagery make this film so very terrifying. It gets under your skin, certain scenes in particular are hard to watch. Overall this a fantastic and severely underrated film, that I personally prefer over the original. Definitely worth a watch despite the 2 and half hour runtime because everything scene is important and integral to the plot, no scenes feel out of place or useless. I cannot recommend this film enough, just go watch it and see for yourself, you won't regret it.
