Good as what the legends say
One of the foundations of the horror genre, totally worthy of the praise and love. Also, shout out to Donald Pleascence for his performance here, and for inspiring my username. IYKYK.
Whats not to love
Hell yeah
I am not a fan of slasher flicks and generally think they are boring and repetitive. Most of them are . . . AFTER this classic. This film does a great job depicting a dark and mysterious evil in the form of a man. His slow moving motion makes it so good and creepy. I can't lie, I love this one. The cinematography is great too. Keep watching it folks - it doesn't disappoint.
