As scary as going for a walk?

What's so scary about this film? Although I'm sure it must have been scary 90 years ago when it came out, nowadays it's pretty much obsolete.....

3/10 for the movie, 1/10 for the main killing dude. The only good thing about this movie is that it lasts 1hr 10 mins only lol.

Well what's so scary about Frankenstein? Or Dracula? Or the Wolf man? I don't see much in any of them to warrant a scare from the audience.

If you have to ask, no one could ever explain it to you. Go back to watching Saw XIV and leave art to people with souls. "Main killing dude"????? Surely we have entered the decline of Western Civilization. Go look up "philistine" in the dictionary . . .

Ever taken a walk on roads surrounded by woods? Can be pretty scary at times, especially after reports of bears being spotted in the area.

Very good, Louis. Short, but pointless.

I don't know, I've always found it more disturbing and unsettling than actually frightening. But either way it's still a great movie.

You make me want to slam my balls in my fridge door to give me a brief respite from the agonising pain of your stupidity.

I wouldn't go as far as giving the film a 3/10, but I was none the less very disappointed with the overall film and am a bit surprised by how overrated it is.

Probably because you ignore everything about cinema, and I mean no offense man. This film is History in itself and the opinion of a philistine like you won't move an inch its legendary status.
