The decor is pure '70s sinister. His son talks to his finger and sees dead girls. The barman is a creep. The plumbing is horrendous. The doors are flimsy and the maze is really badly planned. You could be a caretaker forever and not experience anything like this.
Deeply atmospheric and unsettling, it's easy to overlook (pun intended!) just how much influence this movie had on everything that came after it.
