I rewatched the whole movie fairly recently. I wouldn't call it great or a masterpiece, but I'd agree it's definitely underrated. It has a great and creepy atmosphere and the phone call scene is a crown jewel
moment in the horror genre.

I'm the opposite, give a psycho a chainsaw and I am IN! It's funny because the movie is so insanely tame when you compare it to the book. If the movie makes you queasy, the book would have you throwing up from all the graphic descriptions of violence and sexual depravity.

…yeah, books leave so much more room for descriptives, don’t they…(…which is why in some cases, a much loved book/movie adaption can disappoint …)…because it has to be so much more condensed and scenes don’t always rise to their book twin…/…I once read an incredibly powerful book called Mr Pip …but then when it was eventually screen adapted many years later…?…it was just so watery and shallow in comparison…that’s the thing with psychos with chainsaws, isn’t it, you either love ‘em or you loathe ‘em, there is no in between ground….

….I’m fine with some violence in movies but I do have an actual condition that makes me blood and gore averse in some visuals/and some descriptives…I’m the weirdo who just fainted on the first aid course…and ooops, she did it again…and oooops…
