Maybe calling this movie "A hidden gem" is a bit exagerrated but it's not far from the truth. This is a very good psychological drama/thriller movie. Definitely far ahead of its time, i mean, it's not only violent and raw but in a way, it foretells the following years, the violence/insanity to come etc. Of course, so many following movies seems to copied this. Is it the first "Home invasion" thriller ever? It could be. In any case, it doesn't matter much. All that matters is that every thriller fan will enjoy this. This is far more intense than an average 1964 movie but even today, it aged like a fine wine. Only outdated thing here is de Havilland's acting, but still, she is good. Of course, i feel the need to praise Caan's acting, it's like he came from the future, he is spectacular.
One of the best "one location thriller movies" i have ever watched.
