Review :
Besides being a VERY early appearance of Kevin Bacon, this is a great movie. It's the beginning of one of the best horror movie franchises ever and sets down the template on which all other slasher movies are based. It's also a scary and fun way to spend a couple hours. I wish I could go back to the same mindset I had the first time I saw it - the twist ending doesn't really surprise after the first time. But other than that (and some dodgie acting), this is a great movie!
