An absolute classic. Masterpiece? Maybe not, but its influence is so far reaching, it has transcended to legend status. Maybe the best slasher of all time in terms of movie making skill and pacing. Legitimately one of the greatest horror movies ever. If you’ve never watched this, do yourself a favor, turn off the lights and grab some popcorn. You’re in for a treat.
One of the G. O. A. T!!!!!
Often imitated, never bettered. The classic that started the golden age of slashers. Picked this as my Halloween night movie, no regrets.
A true classic if ever there was one…
One of the best Classic movies of all time. This and Alien!!
