This is an interesting and strangely dark movie that sticks in your mind a long time after watching it. It has a light, comic feel, mainly due to the awesome theme music, that covers up an extremely morbid story about a serial killer who murders hundreds of innocent people (as someone else pointed out, this was the first movie to deal with such a theme). The "gimmick" of all the actors in disguise, which I think is more clever deception than a gimmick, makes it almost impossible to spot the killer and figure out what's going on, and the ending, where all the actors peel off their disguises, is bizarre to say the least. I'd also like to point out that this movie has one of the most horrible movie deaths I've ever seen--there's no blood, but the situation is pretty nasty. Suffice it to say I think the moral of the story is to always watch out for farm machinery while running. All in all, it's a weird, funny and dark mystery that's definitely worth watching. 7/10.
