Best Horror Film I've Ever Seen

Rating: 10/10 (8 July 2002)

This is the best horror movie I've ever seen. I first saw this when I was about 10 years old, and it scared the heck out of me. I've watched it numerous times since then and it still scares me. I will only watch it during the day for fear of nightmares. Michael Myers' menace was so real, especially when compared to the many attempted copycats and the continuously downward going sequels. The lack of an explanation for his rampage made it even more frightening. Well-acted by the cast of fairly unknowns and Donald Pleasance who will always have a special place in my heart for this role.
