Without wanting to sound like an old fart, this is from a time when horror films were actually scary. The real horror here is the gradually encroaching sense of paranoia and menace, culminating in the terrifyingly uncomfortable final scene, where the main character is drawn into a conundrum of conflicting morality. Fantastic performances from all concerned, images that still resonate years later and genuine tension, mercilessly deployed. What exactly was the point of remaking this masterpiece?
