I cannot find a flaw in this film, it's one of those that I crave to watch once every couple of years, & no matter that I've seen it 20 + times..I never will get tired of it. It's southern gothic glory imo. John Ritter, Dwight YOAKAM..plus, all the local Arkansas cast who literally never acted before, or definately not beyond 'The Palace Theatre' in Hot springs, or if their big time, Little Rock, Branson, or Memphis. No, this is a divine home spun tale that keeps one on the edge of his or her seat. It's a film that causes the viewer to develop love and hate towards characters..it's that good & then some. I LOVE the way this movie is filmed; it's shot like one was holding a hand held cheap video recorder..in the same vein as another divine Movie classic imo, Napoleon Dynamite.
I never have been a big fan of slash and gore in my horror films; but suspense..I live for Horror that thrives off suspense like we do oxygen. Suspense that touches the arc of our fears, & Faith is my fave kind. This one most definitely dives headlong into the spiritual realm.
Nastassja Kinsky (lead actress) provides overwhelming sultry side that fit so well alongside suspense back in the 1970s.. She was only 15 during the filming of this film. So while there is plenty of nudity herein (as was so a part of the horror film diet in the 1970s-80s); it's done artfully, in a non sexual way..legally filmed as such, due to her age.
Side note: Nudity was such a part of horror in those two decades..unlike today..if it was non sexual, it cld have been rated PG vey easily with severe language or violence; thankfully, we have an R here..bc frankly, I can't think of more than one PG Rated suspension horror film that was worth its salt, save poltergeist.

If we all could set aside our body shaming learned behavior (from young ages), and think objectively about human biology/anatomy would such an objective mind so remove the scales from our eyes that we could see the absurdity of a 'naked themed show' having to blur out its thematic element? While I agree with keeping tv adult topics & sexual behaviors away from youngsters, who convinced us that plain ole bare biology (minus sexuality) should be automatically sexual? DOES THIS SHOW GET INTO ADULT THEMES? YES. However, with the objective mind, I could see that even if this was just tarsan in the jungle nudity, or naturists on a beach, the bare bodies would still be blurred, as if seeing such, or human participation (even in a safe/loving environment) could corrupt, or endanger in and of/OR BY their own biological skin.
Puritan roots run deep among all English/nations (who came out of Puritan England). Violence was always a family event (such as burning accused witches), but a bare breast was an unspeakable evil. I PRAY many (through shows like this) may begin to see the same. We truly need a change of mindset, imo.
If the nudity wasn't blurred, I could give this show a 10. Any show that expands the narrow scope of tolerability concerning something so natural as bare biology deserves my support. Final insight (eye opener) I derived (through watching and 'after show' contemplation) was how hypocritical we are by body shaming;. I realized the face is the first/foremost sexual attractor, yet no laws force kiddos to wear Halloween masks on all their socials.
