Iconic horror classic

Rating: 10/10 (10 November 2019)

Yes it's now dated, but you cannot deny the significance it showcased for the horror genre. The film created a iconic character and gave birth to a studio. The franchise may not be regarded as critically as this film, but that will distract from this cleverly created original. This film is better if you ignore the lore that surrounds it. It is a self contained head trip and the sequels tread all over its legacy. True cult phenomenon and definitely deserved the iconic status bestowed upon it.
