Dementia 13 is a great film. I would bet that they had to show the killer's face just because of the technical limitations at the time - they were shooting at night with very high-contrast film - and it's likely that in those conditions, either you see everything or you see nothing.
I do wish the second underwater scene was a little clearer. However, I've only seen crummy PD transfers of it - is there a DVD that actually has a good transfer?
Coppola is such a dink. He probably made that movie for $25 and it's great. How much do you think they spent on Bram Stoker's Dracula, which IMHO is not as good? Fun to watch, but not scary.
