Artificial and overly cliched. So dated it's unintentionally funny.

Rating: 4/10 (9 March 2003)

"Halloween" is not a classic. I don't know how anyone can say that it is. Yes, it did begin the genre of Horror in the 80's but that doesn't mean that this is any good. The film is now 25 years old and it shows. The murder scenes which take place look fake and as I said, it is sometimes unintentionally funny.
Michael Myers, the Charlie Chaplin of serial killers, is just ridiculous and fails in striking fear in the viewer. The style in which he kills his victims is so unconvincing you could nearly laugh at it.

Overall, "Halloween" tries to hard to be an intelligent horror movie and fails miserably in its attempts. The acting is terrible, the dialogue is subtle and boring and the murder scenes are just funny. 4.7/10.
