The REAL horror is in these 5-star reviews.
For God's sake people, someone please tell me what you've found the least bit entertaining or interesting about the way this film was made.Just explain it to me, really.What is it about this much-acclaimed horror classic that you like so much?Not that I was expecting any blood, guts, or gore from it, but at least some level of magnetism, you know? It simply doesn't gain attention. Hell, it doesn't even seem to ask for it at all. I actually had to force myself to follow it all the way through. I know the relationship between movie and audience has to be sort of give and take, but come on.Even after surviving an entire first hour of incredible boredom with only a few hints of suspense, I tried to convince myself somehow that the idea was not about suspense or strong storytelling, but about maybe the - oh I don't know - the... The... you know, the... the fact that it's a classic, and people are really crazy about it, so keep watching.And I did. I used whatever amount of patience I had left to keep going, just following that lonely woman in that lonely appartment wondering about those weird occurrances that seem to suggest something creepy is about to happen... but not in a way that would make me give a damn.Next thing you know, I finally arrive at the movie's finale, which is where things really start to pick up and by the time they do, it's all over.Now, I'm not gonna be closeminded about this and call the movie a complete waste of time, since it's done a helluva job in making me appreciate all the other silly, empty-headed horror movies I've seen that are nowhere as dead as this one.But I will kindly ask those of you who have rated this big bore with more than one star to explain to me in detail what it is about it that got you? Seriously, at which point exactly did the movie stop you from squirming in your seat and wanting to punch holes through your livingroom walls?It must've been some killer drug, man...in which case, ignore my question, and please share some with me.
