I've already grown desensitized by so many other horror stories.
Older movies dont have the acting, sound work, or cinematography as modern movies.
So, I didn't find it scary or all that entertaining.
I can see how it would have been scary to those living a sheltered late 70s life though.
I understand that it is a classic and it was interesting to see so many cliche scenes borrowed by many movies that have followed though.
Oh, and he kills a dog in it. Not cool, man. Not cool.
