An Infinitely Influential Slasher Flick

Rating: 10/10 (14 April 2020)

Some people won't like Halloween for it's seeming stereotypical direction, but that's because it inspired those very cliches. Micheal Myers still remains a terrifying silent stalker, brutally hacking away at a simple group of teenagers out of a whole crowd. The performances are polarizing, reacting and deepening Myers with and enjoyably rave on with speeches reminiscent of old monster movies. The tension of the scenes extends to purposefully uncomfortable time that has the payoff of iconic scenes. Halloween has everything that encapsulates the holiday, filling up with treats while preserving the spooky spirit of the holiday
