I loved this movie as a kid. The acting from some aren't the best but Louise Fletcher nails it! Creepy then...creepy now.

Worst book adaptation ever. And for all the projects Louise Fletcher has been in, God bless her, she's just never learned to act. Save your time with this and read the book instead.

Oof, that was rotten! It was a movie I never want to watch again. The filming was terrible and the movie itself is just something you can't sit through. Watched it on Prime Video.

This movie while at times feels too drawn out, has many shocking and horrifying moments that still feel scary after your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rewatch.

They spend most of their time in the attic, where their eyes grow cavernous from makeup.

Book-turned-movie skips the incest, but keeps the creepy.
