Halloween is actually a very easy to watch film, especially for its time. But even now, it unfolds in a natural way, with a clear plot. And Texas Chainsaw also has a lot going on. But in 2001, you are going from one section to the next, in a  way where the connection isn't always immediately clear. And the scenes themselves just don't have as much animating them. It is a movie that asks you to watch monkeys sitting around in the desert for rather long periods of time. I would certainly have to go back and rewatch Texas Chainsaw to compare, but I am not really seeing the similarity. Even if I compare it to something like Friends of Eddie Coyle, which has plenty of silent moments of people just sitting around. There is still more going on in the scenes. More cohesive story unfolding. I have seen other films like 2001. But it is definitely an odd movie</p></blockquote><p></p>
