Written by John Carpenter, directed by the director of The Empire Strikes Back, it's pretty much an Americanized giallo.

When I saw it, I was going through my militant anti-disco phase, so I didn't really care for it. I don't know what made me seek it out on google after 150 years, but the trailer fascinates me with its elegant, pre-DonLaFontaine narration. I'm so sick of trailers these days, with the flashing images and the boom-crash sound effects.

Pretty sure this is the first movie I ever saw with an OUT gay character. I'd have to see it again to have an opinion of whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
