I dont know, with the original you gotta remember the time it came out, people just were not used to it. Like when leatherface smashed that dude over the head, and he started having convulsions, people were outraged.

But yeah, p!ss poor when you compare it to movies like saw.
The 70's were a great decades for horror movies! Good ol' Stephen King started writing then, too! Whent eh 70's begin it was ridign ona wave of ground-breaking horror movies and as the 70's devolp the boundaries were pushed more and more! In 72 there was 'The Exorcist', 75 you had 'Jaws' (can be seen as a horror), 76 'The Omen', 78 'Halloween', 79 'Dawn of the Dad'. The 70's were a great decade for horror movies as they changed horror movies with such an impact it still resonates today!
