Classic slasher.

Rating: 9/10 (4 November 2016)

Halloween its one of the most influential films for the horror genre ever made, it took the slasher genre to the mainstream and inspired a whole generation of filmmakers and horror fanatics, its now considered to be a classic in the eyes of any horror fan.
Halloween doesn't use much violence to scare its audience, it uses suspense and atmosphere to thrill them. I have to say that I never get scared at any film, but the impact this film had for the genre and for independent films was outstanding.
The director its John Carpenter who has a nice reputation among horror and sci-fi fans. The directing in this film its amazing, especially for a independent film.
There are some really good performances in this film, such as Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, who has made a career because of this film, there's also Donald Pleasence as Dr. Loomis, who its magnificent in the film.
The film its very flawed, the editing and pacing are weird at times, the acting isn't very convincing and the dialog its sometimes laughable.
Overall the film isn't that great now, especially with its deeper and much more visceral remake, but its definitely a piece of history that isn't going to be forgotten and will always be in the minds of those who watched it.
