It's one of my favorite dark comedies ever conceived. It didn't do well at the box office and was panned by critics despite having an extraordinary cast.
One of my all-time-favorite horror movies! I understand it's regularly taught in film schools, not just for the practical effects but for the paranoia that was central to the story.
