Let's Scare Jessica to Death, what say you?

I saw it when I was a kid and it scared me to shite.

Watched it again as an adult, noticed the low production value a bit more but the movie is still great.

Def a great cult classic. Pay no attention to rotten tomatoes.

I would go into more details but might border in spoilers. It's not an in your face traditional horror movie. It's more an exploration of the terror that mentally ill people often live in. Whether their terrors be real or imagined, they're still terrors.

It's great, and delivers exactly what it promises. But you kind of already have to like 70s B movie horror. Produ tion values don't bother me.

Same here.

A few other creepy, under the radar movies from that time period: Race With The Devil; Tourist Trap; The Sentinel; It’s Alive; Bad Ronald.

I also saw it at the theater as a kid and it (for me) was just a tad behind "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" on the terror scale. It's weirdness overcomes any technical shortcomings (at least through a kid's eyes).

I was wondering if that movie would ever get mentioned here.

Yes that's why the film works.

Everything could be 100% happening or everything could 100% be the hallucinations of a mad woman, or it could be something in between. Maybe people are intentionally screwing with her, etc. The title implies that is likely going on as well.

Thanks to all for the excellent opinions; makes me more enthused about watching, especially since many voiced their strong underscore of the psychological aspects, right up my alley. Didn't get around to watching last night, but will soon.
