A silent killer but yet very effective. It’s obvious that during its time it was a great scare. It’s a classic that influenced more movies and created a surge in interest of slashers flicks. It’s a must watch!
Not an ounce of fat on this thing. It's freaking incredible, and never gets old. My friend Dave Pinson is completely wrong about this movie.
very good for the time ,recomend if you havent seen it ,in some parts it does show its age and thats the only factor with this movie is that michal isnt as scary as modern horror but for the time this is a classic.
One of the best horror movies ever
It’s so simple but so effective. The silence of the killer, the immediacy of the opening, the slow and steady building of tension throughout. There’s an asshole part of me that wants to say it’s not as good as Rob Zombies remake just to piss people off. But I honestly don’t remember much of the remake. Glad I finally took the time to watch this.
