(1977) ***1/2
I rented this based on Catfreek's review from October 9th. She and JSP both have good reviews that I suggest you read if you want to know more about the plot. Basically, a New York model moves in to a new apartment only to be creeped out by her neighbors that include an intrusive/senile old man and two women in leotards who discuss their "fondness" for each other openly.
Three and a half is a very accurate rating for this. It's a good scary movie with a nice plot development. In terms of scares there are a few good gory make-up and fx shots. Most of the creepiness involves overweight nude women playing with an old naked man - disgusting, but not in the "wow that's so gross!" sense - more in the "ewww, I bet it isn't even that lurid on the internet" style.
Nevertheless, it's definitely worth a viewing. And Catfreek's right - seeing Christopher Walken 30 years ago is awesome.
