One of the best horror movies ever

Rating: Null/10 (9 July 2004)

This film might not be appreciated by today's generation, who are only concerned with stupid slasher flicks with the same overused characters and plot. To some younger audiences (15 or so) this may seem unoriginal, considering this plot has been used so many times. Actually, this film was extremely original when it was released. Sure, it had bad acting and cheesy special effects, but that was only because of its shoestring budget. The film has been recognized as one of the best horror films of the 1980's, and because of the god-awful horror films being released today, it may be one of the best of the 90's, and even now. This film ranks up there with the true legendary horror films, such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (not the stupid remake, mind you). Be warned though: the film's pretty gross and gory, and there's one scene in the woods that may offend you. I wouldn't recommend it to children under 17. Rating: 5 / 5
