I thought this movie, for whatever reason, would be better than it was. Even allowing for the year it was made, it wasn't terribly good. The acting was not great, and the story sucked.

"Directed by Bob Clark One of the most underrated cult classics to come out of the 1970s' horror scene, this film is often credited with being the very first 'legit' slasher movie in creation - though some message boarders I'm sure would disagree.
