    Well she told me this is a cult movie for people born around late fourties to mid fifties. Her and my dad watched this in the cinema in '78.
    And it remained with her when she gave birth to my sister in '79, and later myself in '83. She was so afraid when they were going to give her oxygen, she refused. Paranoia?
    Perhaps this was common amongst women after seeing the events in this movie?
    And a major plot hole!
    When Susan shoved all those bodies hanging from the hooks, so that the hospital hitman got buried underneath them, she locked him inside and ran off.
    Next scene she is home and explains everything to Douglas and says they should call the police. Hello?
    Why not run back to the hospital and call right away! Within 2 minutes, instead of an hour later when you get home. I don't get it.
    And to make matters worse, she doesn't get to make that call at all, and we get NO explanation as to what happened to the hitman, we never see him again!
    Anyway, I think Susan was very brave in this movie. A 1978 Lara Croft 🙂

          I wouldn't call it a "cult movie," it was very mainstream and relatively successful when it came out. Both the book and the movie.

            I wondered about the hitman sequence too. Seems that could have changed the direction of the story had he been arrested or brought in for questioning. They gave us nothing after that.

              In the book he stays locked in the morgue freezer overnight and is found the next day delirious and frostbitten.
