Still so good after all these years.

Sometimes it's hard to review such well-known films, classic films. It feels everything has already been said before. But old films and classics certainly do age, some of them well, some of them not so well. Watching them in different time periods certainly gives you a fresh perspective, but always keeping in mind the time and context in which the film was made. Having said that, I rewatched this horror gem a couple of months ago and the more you watch it, the more enjoyable it gets. This is the original, the ones that follow are just mediocre. This one is quality, the real deal. Here is the beginning of the battle between Michael Myers and Laurie, and is always so delightful to watch it gestate from the beginning until the end. So many cool scenes, and I don't know if this gets mention often or not, but I truly appreciate this movie's photography work. So many incredible shots that are a testament to this movie's classic status.
Jamie Lee Curtis is great, this role came natural to her and she shows that on screen. I'm sure she inspired many that have attempted to portray her essence to a certain extent but have failed miserably, for she's one of a kind, as her performance is. You know how it is, it's so hard to fine convincing (let alone good) acting in these kinds of films, but you have one here. A timeless classic, to enjoy every month of October, or any time of the year.
