    A classic film
    I loved this movie as a kid and an adult.

    I thought it was well done and for the negative reviewers who said it was confusing, I understood it as a child. Are you dense or something?

    Good acting, subtle death scenes, great action, albeit slow, but worth viewing. A nice build up and to the reviewer who said he knew who the bad guy was: Duh!

    I'm so tired of you losers not taking into account when a movie was made. What movie about telekinesis compared to this then. Um, none. Enjoy a movie for when it was made and take in the effects as well. So many people say laughable effects in old movies. I hate this. They worked with what they had and did good with them.

    I loved it in '68 and still love it!
