Psycho (1960) ftw. But the OG Chainsaw Massacre is probably second for me.

I didn't see it for the first time until probably the 2000's so I was expecting it to be very outdated, but it holds up really well actually.

A movie that scares you on just the creepiness and the weird factors holds up better than supernatural or gore. I'm not a supernatural horror movie guy though, I don't sleep good enough as it is, I ain't trying to watch all that

To support the OP a little, if you never saw the original until fairly recently (let’s call that the last 20-25 years or so), it definitely doesn’t hold up well as one of the GOATs. I watched it for the first time maybe ten years ago or so, and had similar thoughts. I can appreciate what it was and what it did for the horror genre, and still agree with some of the OP’s criticisms.

I also did think the 03 remake was great. I don’t know if it’s “better” than the original, because they are sort of different movies. But I definitely enjoyed it more. It’s legit good IMO.

It's wild to know that both films were inspired by the same man, Ed Gein.
