just tried watching this for the first time today. i saw the remake a week ago and heard good things about the original and wanted to see how different the two films were. most people hate when movies are remade, but i have to say that the remake is far superior. this movie is the reason i dont watch movies made before 1980. terrible sound editing, over the top acting, bad effects, slow and pointless dialog. if this movie had originally been made in the early to mid 80's things would be different. im still glad i tried watching this, because if i hadnt, i might always wonder if the original was good or not.

This is not a well-made movie, but your notions about old movies lacking the handicraft of modern productions are simply ignorant. Technically excellent movies - watch pretty much any Hitchcock or Welles directed effort, and you'll find razor sharp technical ability on display. Plenty of modern movies have bad production value
Regarding the lack of crazies, I think the original 2000 Maniacs did a lot better job - and made for a better, and less misguidedly ambitious experience
