    It certainly seems that way.

    Maybe it's the fact I only saw this film for the first time a few months ago, but nothing about this movie excited me. I found it to be slow moving and downright boring, with the supposedly 'shocking' and 'classic' scenes adding absolutely nothing to the experience. Rather, they seemed to me a desperate attempt to add shock value to an otherwise boring film.

    And it looks like they succeeded....I wonder if this film would have been the huge success it has been without them? Personally, i find films like The Shining and even the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre to be much scarier. They both spend time effectively trying to build tension, and they don't seem to be obsessed with making the viewer feel ill: The scariest kind of horror is the kind that leaves something to the imagination.

    I don't know, maybe you had to be there at the time, amidst all the furore, to fully appreciate this film. I'm only 15 so maybe I'm not old enough to find anything exciting about it, and I do intend to watch it again when I'm older. There has to be something about this film to garner such widespread applause, but I do not see it.   2 out of 2 people found this review helpful
