The timing of that movie... as in it being made in the 70's when certain f/x were just coming available for use in films, and people at that time were ripe pickings for a good scarefest... was impeccable.
Same with Jaws, Amittyville, the original "When a stranger calls", The Omen etc.... they all came out at just the right time and they ALL scared the crap out of a lot of people.
Had they not been made back then but were put in theatres today would they have as much of an overall impact? I'm doubtful that they would.
Saw/Saw II, although interesting to watch, well... what can I say? I'm just not sure what it's going to take for a movie to chill me like some did 30 years ago.
