Terribly overrated. It's self-conscious about the "rules" of slasher films, but it has nothing to say about them.

Say hello if you have watched this classic one more time in preparation to the 2022 sequel

An iconic classic that might have been the first piece of mainstream media to dabble in "meta" commentary? Definitely will be adding this to my yearly horror rewatch schedule. Twisty, cheesey and clever for the time. Great stuff.

First time watching. And was this it? The killer with the mask acted like a clown running into stuff. I had to check if this was the actual movie or a parody of it. The end got better but still very clumsy imo

It is horror that smiles, picks up the knife, and reminds you the joke is still going to hurt.

In any case, this is the first and…

Prior to watching this film, I had some catching up to do on the slasher genre, having never seen any of the classics. I stuck to only the originals and watched _Halloween (1978)_, _Friday the 13th (1980)_, and _Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)_. While those three didn't exactly win me over on the genre, I was still glad to have watched them, as this film makes numerous direct references to the characters and clichés of these classics. That said,…
