Regardless to what people think of this film, the plot, acting or even the nudity. For the TIME/ERA when this film was made, makes this a much better movie than some people of "this" time/era (who have seen much better acting now) are willing to give it credit for. Go back to movie orginals vs. the re-makings; The Day The Earth Stood Still, Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, King Kong, Planet Of The Apes, Vampires, Werewolves & Frankenstein. Even with todays movies you can always find something wrong with it.

Good is relative in this case, I'm a sucker for movies in the 70's (who isn't) so I might be biased but, even with the kind-of shite acting and a few other discrepancies ,this movie by far is much better than the remake, though it was definitely lacking with the revenge scenes.

I don't understand why so many good ratings for a film with such a thin plot and weak acting. One would think this was a great film from the reviews. It ain't. I suppose some liked all the nudity, but that sure doesn't make up for all the bad acting, strained plot, and unrealistic events.
