I have always heard that this is particularly good, and it is also Spielberg's relatively early famous movie, but after watching it, I was too disappointed and not scary at all.

Spielberg's up-and-coming thriller classics changed the mode of operation of Hollywood commercial films. It has been more than forty years, and people are still thrilling. The use of realistic models and skillful expression techniques provide a model for the creation of genre films for later generations. The plot is stimulating and compact, and the characters have distinct personalities. The first half was attacked, and the second half was hunted. There is no exaggeration of fear, and no praise of bravery. Some are just real human nature, challenging nature in order to defend the homeland
