Add a CommentAt the time of the original release, I thought this was a terrifying movie. Years later, I find that it still is. Great film, remade as Evil Dead 2. And another remake (or reboot as they call it now) is coming out soon. It will be interesting if the remake will have the same effect on me.
Definitely a cult classic. Horror films have come a long way since 1981 - to think film distributors would not pick up this movie due to its graphic terror and violence. Wonder what these film distributors would have thought of the Saw franchise?
