Classic in its own right but mediocre

Rating: 4/10 (30 August 2003)

Maybe this cheapie began the endless flow of teen slasher movies and that's why it's considered to be a classic. And maybe it was horrific (for mainstream viewers) when it was released in 1984 but today it looks mostly cheesy.
Of course, it introduced few new things to horror films (which was recycled in all the 6 sequels over and over again) but that's not much. 4/10
