Who should watch
Horror fans.
Thoughts
Given its impact on the genre, it was worth checking out. It was fun watching how creative and spooky these films can get with incredibly small budgets.
I liked this film because, like Michael Myers, it was spooky, creepy and efficient. There was surprisingly less gore than I anticipated. This was because of it was more of a psychological horror.
And then there was the music. Words could not describe how effective and spooky it was every time that theme played. I would say its presence was as important as Darth Vader's theme was in 'Star Wars' franchise.
What I would change
Nothing.
