Don't believe the hype....

Rating: 3/10 (14 April 2014)

So I never, ever write reviews. But after people, even my own mother, telling me how wonderful this movie was I finally bit the bullet after all these years. Now I know why I held off. I won't reiterate everything else that other reviewers who "hated it" said, cause they are right - no need to rehash it. I just wanted to add that it's the slowest, most boring, "un-creepy", classic horror film I've ever watched. Seriously I thought "The Birds" by A. Hitchcock was creepier (but I can be biased cause i hate birds). I even tried to step back and analyze it for "it's time" since it came out in the 60s but still no dice. It's awful. I must admit I enjoyed the fashion and the architecture and interior design of the building. But that's about it. Oh it also confirmed why I dislike Polanski's films.
