Mi película favorita de terror. Es atemporal es sus formas de contar la historia. Y lo que muestra es terrorífico y dramático.

Some horrific visual effects that still look amazing today. This story has been told many different ways, but this was one of the first.

Script has its flaws, and too many pointless "moving from A to B" shots, but good performances and some really striking visual effects.

Very lyrical and dreamlike. This has a strong influence on horror movies that have since been made, despite being more of a thriller.

It was very unique. Quite an interesting story line. Artsy, vintage, and probably scary to watch alone at night. Surely not a waste of time.

This felt like a longer, really well written Twilight Zone episode. I recommend this to any horror or classic cinema fan.

Legitimately unnerving movie that kept surprising me with how much dread I felt watching it.

Unique and very interesting story. Great movie for the time period it was made and I recommend this to any horror or classic cinema fan.

Hauntingly gorgeous. Gorgeously haunting. A dream-like body-horror tale that's quiet and unassuming.
