If you're looking for gore, blood, and nothing but torture, this isn't the film that you should be watching. This movie is a horror film and a classic in its generation not because of how much blood we can see splattered across the screen, but because the suspense and realistic aspect of it all is what's scariest.
You're dealing with a real situation of home invasion and murder. It happens everyday and it happens to anyone, thus the basis of this movie's appeal.
This isn't a fairytale horror genre movie where you see the good guy survive by killing off the bad guy. I loved this movie for the simple fact that despite the masks on the killers, it truly shows the realism of what could truly happen to two completely innocent individuals who get caught up in a horrific situation.
