When I was in high school (early 2000s) this got rereleased in theaters. My friends and I went to the movie theater hoping to see something else but it was sold out. I convinced them to give this a shot because I had heard it was a classic horror movie.

I proceeded to have one of my favorite movie going experiences as a bunch of teenage boys who would rather be punched than be considered frightened slowly went from bored to unnerved and finally freaked out. It was great.
