It's just fucking great even though I really don't think it's scary. The spider stair walk in the new version is kinda scary, but that's it. 10/10 movie still

Shit was a cultural phenomenon in 1973. People were literally fainting and/or leaving the theater because it was so shocking.
Different time, I guess.
Not as good as pic related
Talented director
Talented cast
Great script
Great score
It's got a good balance of comedy and tragedy, and it doesn't spoil itself with unneeded exposition.
>People were literally fainting and/or leaving the theater because it was so shocking. Different time, I guess
This is a meme. The entire basis of our conception of fear in film hasn't changed in 46 years. You still see headlines about people fainting during horror films and it's all marketing bullshit that probably happened for unrelated medical reasons
No, it's obviously not a meme. Watch the video. And then watch the 20 minutes documentary that it's from, it's also on Youtube. If you seriously think "different times" is a meme, after seeing those, you're stupid.
there wasn't anything like it before so much that it started a whole bumper crop of other horror movies based on religion like the Omen most of which were really bad and forgotten
The lack of exposition and the gritty, almost documentary feel helps a lot.
