Still scary, 25 years later

Rating: Null/10 (29 August 2001)

I've seen this movie now about 4 times and I'm still scared each time. Though I laugh and remember the nasty fashions of the 70s, the "fear factor" is just as effective today as it was 25 years ago. I too, was dismayed at some of the other comments saying it didn't have enough gore. That isn't what necessarily makes a great movie. My feeling is that those who were born after this movie was released shouldn't be commenting on it--I think they just don't get it. The splatter movies of today often cannot compare to some of the classic horrors made 25 years ago such as "Rosemary's Baby", "The Omen" and "The Exorcist".
To this day, though, I still cannot watch the very last scene. The first time I flew out of my chair and now I have to turn away each time. This is a well-made classic horror flick.
