This is so gratuitous on so many levels. Gratuitous page count. Gratuitous descriptions. Gratuitous terror. There are quite a few scenes and descriptions that I genuinely cannot look past, justify, or forgive.
Yet I completely understand why this is regarded as a masterpiece and a landmark work of horror. I don’t know how to make those two things make sense at the same time.
