This is one of those movies that will remain with you it was done so well. Unfortunately when it came out it was competing with some Box Office Sequels so it was overwhelmed and did well internationally and on rental at that time. A FANTASTIC MOVIE AND A MUST SEE FOR THE SUSPENSE/THRILLER AND HORROR MOVIE FANS!!! My JJV rating: 8/10********stars - @Sunday, October 27, 2013 6:32 AM

There wasn't supposed to be a sequel. It was meant to leave you with a feeling of dread. Not all great movies warrant a sequel, and I'm glad they never did one, because it probably wouldn't have been nearly as good. - @Saturday, July 6, 2013 4:41 AM

I agree with the killer from Se7en. All the preperation is scarier than anything. But Buffalo Bill from SotL is just as much of a copycat as "Peter". since he copied Ed Gein. Or he's carracter is based on Gein anyway. Not just as disgusting tho. "Peter" at least chooses to copy the most infamous killers. ^_^ - @Tuesday, June 12, 2012 11:54 AM

The concept is definitely one that seems to work and has been used in other movies as well. This picture certainly wouldn't win any awards, but for some odd reason I enjoy watching it. Really enjoy this genre. I can still see my mother so totally engrossed in it LOL. Hmm...a remake might be a good idea. I for one would love to see it. - @Friday, June 8, 2012 12:13 PM

To each his own, I guess. My mother was spellbound while watching this on TV. I looked over and she was sitting on the edge of her seat during the entire second half. Made me laugh because usually movies like this don't grab her in that way. One of the reasons might have been that Weaver's character looked a lot like her when she was younger, so she associated with her. Plus I'm a fan of Holly Hunter.. - @Thursday, June 7, 2012 12:40 PM
