What's the hype?

Rating: 3/10 (18 April 2019)

People rave about this film. These people all saw the film when it came out back in the 80's. I am 24 and I was bored all the way through. The premise was promising however it was pulled off slowly and was very underwhelming. The film is full of cliches and felt more like a cheesy action film. The 'serious' parts were cheesy and the 'scary' parts were funny. The effects can be excused as it is an older film, but I was not scared once in this film. Is it just because I am used to better effects in modern films? I don't think so, I really enjoy early 20th century horror films. Again not scary, but the story is gripping. I really struggled to finish this film. In my PERSONAL opinion, I would recommend avoiding this film, and really don't understand why it is so popular.
