Maybe the shock value it held back in the late 70's has faded to today's world. I just didn't see what the big deal was. It was a very formulatic movie, nothing really too shocking or surprising. A movie I've heard this compared to is the original Tobe Hooper version of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre". That movie was light years better than this movie. I think it is still trying to live off of 30 year old notoriety.

I agree. I'd heard about this movie for years and finally borrowed it off my brother a few years back on DVD. Terrible movie. I think it was pretty shocking though, as the rape scene/s are so long, graphic and violent, but it's just a horrile movie in every way.
