As posted above a few times the saddest thing about this film would have to be the sacrifice of animals. Seeing how it was all very real

can't say i disagree with ya.. but i bet this film inspired some pretty amazing things such as music, artwork, artist lol
but maybe we should change up the title of the thread or at least edit the description a bit.. never really noticed it but the 80's dont seem that old to me

Depends on what your definition of classic is, I guess. I think just for the sheer cult following this film has, and for the enormous amount of press it generated with people thinking it was real, it definitely belongs in the classic films section. Just like I would put I Spit on Your Grave or The Last House on The Left in the classic category. They may not be from the 40's or 50's, but they've withstood the test of time and are as good a watch today as I imagine they were when they came out.
If you guys think there should be another section added for this type of movie, I'm open to discussing it. We have classic and newer sections. We could go by decade, but it would be some work to move the threads we have now to the right spot, and if we ever get busy, monitoring the threads would be some work too. Like I said, I'm open to discussion, I just think the way it is now is easier to maintain.

Heck, I would put the original Nightmare On Elm Street in the classic category. Not vintage, but a monumental movie.

I would call it a classic purely because its not what we would call a modern horror film?

I agree Ali. A classic may not be to everyone's liking, but it still falls in the category, IMO.

Yea these things such as categories or genres can differ due to opinions

I just saw this movie last night, and it's actually pretty crazy. It all looks SO real!

thats whats so gross aabout it! back when I was a kid people actually thought the footage was real. Was banned at the time which of course just hyped the legend up a bit more.

This was one of the few movies that really got to me. I kinda regretted watching it and ended up selling the movie, but now I wish I still had it.
The effects are absolutely amazing (which shows why practical effects will ALWAYS be better than this CGI crap), the atmosphere and acting make it feel real, and the soundtrack is fantastic as well. I just really, really hated the animal killings in it. I feel they focused on them way too long. If not for that, I probably could have tolerated this movie a lot better.
Even though I can't say I love this movie by any stretch, the fact that I collect horror and exploitation films pretty much makes it mandatory to have in my collection.

The trailer for this always makes me wanna watch it again just like it made me wanna watch it the first time around but I have to say I just flat out hated this film.

I hated the animal killings. So did the director afterwards and he said he wished he had never had those scenes, which I liked hearing from him. To me, it was a good attempt at a brutal film. It's not a favorite of mine and I rarely watch it, but it's in my collection. Every now and then, I'll watch it again, but it's a long time in between watches.

What I remember most (other than the castration scene which seemed to be in every cannibal movie ever made) was the scene where the burn down the village and this really happy music is playing. It was pretty chilling.
