Oscar: As I mentioned from the prior post (A Quiet Place) and even MORE SO in THIS movie, the mood that the film set in the beginning as the clock on the wall was ticking and the priest asked what the idol they found meant, the other archeologist said “evil versus evil” and suddenly the clock stopped…THAT set the mood for the entire film … genius!!!
Emmy: I agree with Oscar… the feel of the entire movie started at the point mentioned above and it threaded the film throughout. The hairs on my arms stood straight up until the end credits rolled. I would not recommend this film for kids (even today’s kids), but as an adult it is easier to think outside the film and realize that it is a well-made film… the special effects even for 1973 were top notch and the movie was an uncomfortable watch …just as it was meant to be.
