Yes, it is disturbing
A land-mark film but not perhaps entertainment. Too much of this sticks with you to make it a "fun" horror experience. Certainly a film that takes you to the heart of darkness more than any other I can think of. A real journey that leaves you feeling more than a little relieved at the end. Without doubt the most important horror film of the 80's and probably beyond. Is it entertainment though? No, I don't think so. More an endurance test but of course that doesn't mean it is any less important.
