Phantasm is one of those films that I know a lot of people liked, but I don't care for it at all. It just felt particularly silly watching those Ewok-ish characters run around and the little sci-fi twist just felt wrong with the supernatural set-up.

My biggest problem really has to be that the movie felt pretty straight-forward and obvious, lacking any sort of in-depth storytelling.

I'm with The Flayed One in that I preferred Exorcist 3 to the first Exorcist.

I actually feel very bad about myself, like I'm an idiot or something, but I find no enjoyment in The Evil Dead. I impulse bought the DVD of it before I had ever seen it because it has always been raved about, and then I watched it a few times and realized I had a DVD of a movie I would never watch again.

I also feel like nobody could possibly respect my opinion on anything when I say I was thoroughly unimpressed with:
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
Don't Look Now (1973) [I have a hard time accepting this as a horror film]
The Howling (1981) [one of my least favorite werewolf films]
The Haunting (1963) [too early for this forum, but it's on my "most overhyped" list]

and I've seen The Reflecting Skin often discussed as a great horror movie, but that is NOT a horror film. It's not, and anybody who says otherwise is more stupid than me for not liking The Evil Dead and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I feel similar with Picnic at Hanging Rock, though there is at least some intrigue with that one from a horror/supernatural/whatever angle.

You're probably not going to get a lot of people to agree with you on your choices but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. To be honest, i liked Evil Dead but i don't really get the big deal about it.
