Who's Afraid of the Boogey Man?

Rating: 10/10 (11 October 2006)

Who would have thought that a film like this made on such a tiny budget would create such an impact on Hollywood thriller movies? Halloween was the first horror classic of a new generation. Just in time for this year's Halloween holiday, Jamie Lee Curtis (daughter of Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh) plays the target of demented Michael Myers who escapes from a mental institution where he was sent after killing his babysitter when he was just a child. He escaped around Halloween which is the anniversary of the murder. Anyway, Jamie is wonderful and shows that she has inherited her parents' acting ability enough to become a star in her own right as well. I love Donald Pleasance as the psychiatrist. I think he should have been knighted and this was one role that I think he loved because he returned several times. Sadly, he is not around anymore and I miss him dearly. I love his performance in this film. I think everybody had a great time making this film.
