No. Not believable.

I distinctly saw him jogging, but I've watched pretty much all his movies and the lazy fecker never moves at more than a fast walk, at best.

I haven't seen any of his movies.

Always fade out at the end of a montage….
When you fade out it seems like more time has passed in the montage.

MONTAGE!!!!

I finally watched it last night. It wasn't good as Halloween, Nightmare on Elm St., etc.

It was the first rated R movie I ever saw alone, maybe the first real horror movie too….I was staying with family friends in Mexico and they rented it for me when I was 10.
Good times!

I liked it better than Halloween, but Nightmare beat them both for murderous insanity.

Bear in mind that you can't really compare it to the next generation like Nightmare on Elm St, Poltergeist etc. since they're already moving away from the straight-up slasher - more complex plots, adding mainstream elements like humour, and far bigger budgets.

The comparison to Halloween is reasonable since it really was a Halloween wannabe, but it's a bit like saying you're not as smart as Einstein.

Now, if you really want to diss the film, compare it to Evil Dead which came out only a year later on a smaller budget.

Evil Dead was fun.
