The film is typical of its time, with the lighting, camera work and fashion giving a clear indication of 1969 to 1971 British cinema.
It is not scary, but there is reasonable suspense and enjoyment.
My main reason for commenting is has anyone else noticed the very strong similarities with the brilliant (but sadly never shown) "I start counting"?
There is the same fashion, the similar colour technique which is surprising given this is Eastman and "I start" is De Luxe, an emphasis on short skirts, an unknown serial assailant who is revealed at the end but throughout most of the film the viewers attention is diverted to other suspects. There is also the woods where the events take place; the atmosphere in the woodland scenes is very similar. Finally, there is a young and good looking central character in both, Lesley-Anne Down and Jenny Agutter
Watch the film if you enjoy late 60's, early 70's Britain and a bit of suspense.
