1. I first saw TCM on VHS. Would have been in the mid to late 80's I guess.
2. You would have to live on a desert island to not have heard of TCM's reputation :D .
3. It was good, but because it had been so hyped, I was expecting something more gory (with more onscreen violence and gore) than I got. Its strength is as much psychological as visual (however that was a bit lost on me as a youngish teenager).
4. I have seen it about 5 or 6 times since that first viewing.
5. This is a movie that I appreciated more on subsequent viewings than I did at first. Not that I didn't like it originally, but I think once I knew what was on offer, I could appreciate it more for what it was (rather than what I thought it would be). Watching it when a bit older, I think I appreciated the psychological aspects of this film much more. This film is truly one of the greats of the genre, and lives up to its reputation.
