creepy

Rating: Null/10 (2 October 1999)

quite the thriller. much better than the crap 'horror' movies that get put out today. i refuse to even watch movies like scream and i know what you did last summer simply for their teeny bopper element. i'd read some reviews on this and they all said there wasnt any blood or gore, so i thought it couldnt be that great of a horror film, as it would have to have some gratuitous violence. i was very wrong. the music, the atmosphere, the sudden appearances of michael myers. they were scary. i watched it alone, in the dark, 11pm-1am in my dorm room and i found myself cowering down a few times. i have to emphasize again the power of the music in this movie. it was just eerie. it was a great movie, until the end...or so i thought. *spoilers* when jamie lee curtis stabbed him once with a knitting needle and he dropped and it seemed over, i just thought, what a crappy way to end this. but he got up from it. later she stabs him with a knife and he drops. still an unacceptable ending. then in the moonlight, he arises again. he's finally (or so it seems) finished off with about 6 shots to the head and/or chest and a fall out a second story window. you see him lying there, then the next glance he's gone. and the eerie music starts up. i'd highly recommend this movie to someone looking to be scared. gore does NOT equal scary. this movie just gets your mind going.
