The conclusion is a little overcomplicated, as if the creators were trying to confuse everything at the last minute unnecessarily stretching it out, but still, I feel like this is truly one of the first examples of slashers. It's not Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but it has its own style, its own poetics, which is sometimes truly insane. I like this. Even back then, the creators were trying to go a little further. It's not that far, but sometimes you have to take smaller steps so that the audience doesn't go crazy.
