Having "grown up" through the 80's, seeing this one as somewhat of a step out of what I was used to when I saw it at the age of about 14 in around '95.
At this age, it was hard to look past the "aging" factor but when I sat back and actually got into it, found it was pretty decent after all.
I didn't think it was the greatest film ever or anything, but it was a pretty solid, and atmospheric thriller/slasher, the formless face, the music, all worked well. It's not one of my favourites, but I think it's probably one of the films a person trying to dip into horror might definately want to observe at least once.
As for older than that titles to see, I always really liked the earlier version of "house of wax", maybe psycho if you haven't seen it....?
