Without a doubt-one of the most frightening films ever made. ALL of the subsequent "slasher" films from the best (Halloween) to some of the worst (Maniac) ALL lifted both the POV of the killer as well as the "the caller is inside the house" from this incredibly original and terrifying film. I'll never forget the first time I saw it- I had nightmares for weeks... I've NEVER looked at an "attic door" in quite the same way. One scary film !
@@gregsheppard3377 Halloween was initially conceived of as the sequel to BC. Carpenter asked Bob Clark if he was going to make a sequel. He said no, but if he were to, he’d have the killer escape a psych hospital on Halloween and, you guessed it, name it Halloween. Debra Hill and Carpenter took it from there, and the rest is horror history. Clark gave pure and proper props to Carpenter.
Let me get this straight. Every time the psycho kills someone he makes a phone call. If that's true, then he killed the girl at the end because the phone rings during the closing credits.
Hmmmmm that's a thought, but we see the detectives and police talking about the case as we see Jess sleeping.....they never mention that she died. What's really strange about this movie is The Final Phone Call.......was it really her boyfriend Peter?? or was their simply 2 Killers?? What's scary too is Claire and that lady were still in the attic.
....Couldn't Sleep for A WEEK .!...And Had lights on every Night...1 of the Scariest films of that time......Then another film that was creepy was ....the Original...When A Stranger Calls...
When A Stranger Calls was scarier than this I thought, well specifically the beginning and ending. That one actually made me afraid of the dark for a week, scarier than most horror movies I've seen.
@TheAgwoodliffe Yes. The illegal alien who caused the accident in Pacific Pallisades did not have a driver's licence or proper citizenship. The strangest part of the entire story is that the killer only received a six year sentence for a double homicide. I hope the source is incorrect, but I did read it directly and slowly. The killer will be released during 2013. Something doesn't add up.
