The idea of this film seemed rather silly to me at first, plus I knew the true culprit from the start which made it slightly less suspenseful, but this 80's offering from Brian de Palma was still up there with a truly nerve-wracking film experience. Michael Caine has never scared me so much as he did in this, ( I haven't seen 'Get Carter' so that maybe worse?) and one scene in particular near the end really got to me and I thought about it for hours afterwards. De Palma is a master of suspense that I'm sure would make Hitchcock shake him by the hand, and this film has slowly become one of those 'cult classics' that you need to see, despite how disturbing it may be.
