From someone that watched this in 2018

Rating: 3/10 (16 October 2018)

Do not waste your time. I strongly disagree with a lot of the 10 star ratings that said this is a classic and a must see. It is not at all, it's really bad. I can see it being good in the 70s but every single cliche or scare tactic is in this film. Yes, they might've been the first with these scare tactics but if you want to see a "classic" scary film in 2018 then this is not it.
I'll go even further to say that this is not even a classic. Just because it is the first slasher it makes it a classic? The writing is terrible and the acting is even more ridiculous. I was even glad when Michael killed off those teenagers. If you don't believe me then please do watch this film so you can experience the same pain I did.
Having that said, they do deserve points for being the first of its kind but this movie shouldn't be considered a classic
