I'm producing a film inspired by this classic


It's really the scariest film ever made. I still can't watch it alone. Back before all the gore when less was more...

Check it out...

Awesome! Good luck to you. And I agree....I can't watch this one alone either! One of the scariest ever put on film. I'll take suspense and psychological creepiness ANY DAY over blood and gore. And what always fascinated me about this film is the way they actually probed into Kurt's psychology hroughout the middle of the film. We see him lonely and sad....but yet terrifyingly evil. Such a twisted mix in human beings. Of course, I'm in grad school for psych so this in depth look at the killer's character is just brilliant to me. I think it's not done often enough in films.....yet it's pure genius.
