For one thing, the acting is super over the top and unbelievable, and - while it was probably on purpose - I just don't think it worked. While watching it I just kept thinking about the actors and the way in which they were acting, and for me the sign of a good film is that I forget these things and am able to believe that the characters are real. Dialogue was nothing special. I found it difficult to invest in any character or believe what they were going through, perhaps because of very little character development. And while I would understand the focus being more on the horror and the gore or the kills for this genre of film, there is minimal horror and the gore is really very mild. The effects aren't great (but what can you do, it's a low budget film from the 70s - so I'm not so bothered about that one). I get that it's a classic piece of cinema, and by no means do I think that it is a terrible film, but to me it doesn't quite live up to/be deserving of its hype.
