A totally overrated so called "classic"

Rating: 3/10 (7 November 2010)

I understand this movie is dated now and might been scary back in 1978. However older movies like this are meant to rely on a good plot. This movie basically just starts with the murder of his sister one of the better scenes then no explanation there after of the next 15 years, just a vague terrible scene of him escaping then bam his for some reason he's crazy and wants to kill people. The acting is bad and showcases a massive lack of emotion when people are meant to be scared. I was expecting a much better movie then this considering the hype and critic reviews. The fact it has been filmed well, had a good score was the only reason i could withstand watching it to the end. If you want to watch a classic horror that might actually scare you or get you thinking try nightmare on elm.
