Decent, but a bit slow at times

Rating: 8/10 (26 September 2003)

The first movie that paved the way for many sequels. The acting is actually good to be a bunch of teenagers. Jamie Lee Curtis acts like an adult rather than a teenager. Nick Castle plays the serial killer Michael well. Donald Pleasance shines in the movie as well.
Two of the things that I didn't like about it was that it seemed slow at times. Two out of the four kills are pretty tame. While I wasn't expecting a decapitation it would have better than just strangling. Maybe the girls that Michael strangled he could have slit their throats instead. Its a good movie with a great suspenseful ending.
