An Absolute Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2005)

Halloween is still today considered one of the best (and most influential) horror movies. Directed by John Carpenter, this movie never fails to scare the living daylights out of you and send a chill up your spine. Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasance give outstanding performances and the score, also done by Carpenter, is still the creepiest score to date. But the wonderful thing this movie did was introduce to the creepiest killer ever. Michael Myers (played by Nick Castle).
This movie managed to spawn 7 sequels and countless imitators: Friday the 13th, My Bloody Valentine, Sleepaway Camp, Terror Chain and Prom Night are just a few of the movies that came out after Halloween.
I definitely give this 5/5. Anyone who hasn't seen it and loves horror should see this right away.
