overrated but decent horror film

Rating: 7/10 (22 August 2012)

I just don't see why this movie is so overrated, I mean its a decent slasher flick but its nothing to crap your pants over. A lot of people call it the scariest movie ever, It does have some creepy moments and good suspense but I wouldn't exactly call it the scariest movie ever, it doesn't have the same impact as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
The first time I watched it I was bored for half the movie, Michael Myers pops up here and there stalking the girls and I was just saying "hurry up and kill someone" then when the final 30 or so minutes came, he murdered Annie in her car with a classic murderer hiding in the back seat moment, that may be a bit of a cliché but it was done very effectively and the way it was filmed was dark and shadowy and that really added to the atmosphere. After that, the rest of the movie impressed me.
the next time I watched the movie I found the slow pace good because it was a good buildup of what was to come
