To avoid fainting, keep repeating "It's only a movie...It's only a movie..." Wes Craven's cult horror classic! First time released in Australia! Previously banned! Wes Craven's (A Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream) notorious film debut is a grimly affecting portrait of human evil infiltrating a middle-class household. Adapted from Ingmar Bergman's The Virgin Spring, this no-budget horror shocker sees four escaped cons kidnap, rape, torture and finally brutally murder a pair of teenage girls. The killers take refuge in the girls' own home, but when the parents discover who they are they plot violent retribution.

lt's a bit out dated 1972 l think, but when you consider that it's still a classic, in the same line as "l spit on your grave" and "fight for your life", if you liked those you will like this, Wes Craven does a directors version with voice over always great to hear Wes talk.
