To Each Man His Own Meat....

Rating: 3/10 (14 January 2011)

I saw this film for the first time in 2008 having missed a chance to see it in my youth in the late eighties. Seeing the very high rating this film gets you might be tricked into watching it. After watching the film you might think to yourself quietly: what was all the fuss about? Clearly this film is inspired from Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho which was based on the crimes of Wisconsin serial killer Ed Gein.
Halloween is a 1978 American independent horror film directed, produced, and scored by John Carpenter, co-written with Debra Hill, and starring Donald Pleasence and Jamie Lee Curtis in her film debut.
The film is set in the fictional midwestern town of Haddonfield, Illinois. On Halloween, six year old Michael Myers murders his older sister. Fifteen years later, he escapes from a psychiatric hospital, returns home, and stalks teenager Laurie Strode and her friends. Michael's psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis suspects Michael's intentions, and follows him to Haddonfield to try to prevent this from happening.
Halloween spawned seven sequels, a 2007 remake of the same name and directed by Rob Zombie — and a 2009 sequel to the remake, Halloween II, which is unrelated to the sequel of the original.
List Of Sequels: Halloween II (1981), Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982), Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988), Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989), Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995), Halloween: Resurrection (2002).
Remakes: Halloween (2007) and Halloween II (2009 and is unrelated to the 1981 film of the same name).
Verdict: Jason or Michael Myers? (Or even Freddy Krueger for that matter) Whom to choose??? Of course its JASON WITH A CAPITAL J!!! Sorry Michael YOU LOOSE!!! Bye :)
