Aroview: The old adage 'three is a crowd' is chillingly played out in Polanski's directing debut about a couple's troubled yachting weekend with a hitch-hiker. The simple premise is milked for all the tension it's worth.

5 stars (Exceptional) Terrific! For me its chilling suspense makes it Polanski's greatest film. Good to see it out on DVD. For years it was an unseen gem. ~Sandy
