There are worse movies rated better. Would have been amazing with more tension and real horror. The plot is good enough and the setting is fantastic for Kinski's character to journey into sickness but he never gets that sick or seems that mad in the environment. Even the voyeur and torture elements could have gone further. I like the creepy stillness of Kinski's character but in a movie that is about one character you need something else even if it's one or two short scenes. The female characters don't really interact in a way which produces more tension or horror against Kinski's character either. A missed opportunity. The movie does also have a climax which saves it. I'm glad I watched it and Kinski is good in it.

some of it was a bit jump-scary but then it was still scary beyond the surprise if that makes sense.
there was a part where he was putting on makeup?
i mean i guess the eyeliner was ok but the lipstick was just kind of weird. it felt unnecessar and a little transmisogynistic... there was a part where lori got visited by a detective (i think he was a detective) and dr gunther saw lori take the side of him, the doctor. and then he went to kill her! why? she could have easily been alarmed and ask the detective for more info but she didn't.
