I really don't care for it. I notice its mark on pop culture, but the movie isn't anything special. It's not scary, it's not even intense and it's not that entertaining. Please someone tell me why it's considered as a horror classic?

Definitely one of the most classic horror movies among the 80s!

For a PG mainstream horror, this is 110% horrifying!
