Waste of time and effort.

Rating: 1/10 (12 June 2007)

Critics label this the best slasher film ever made, but I just disagree 100%. The hailed theme is a no good piece of sh*t loop that gets repetitive after seven horrible sequels. Jamie Lee Curtis is just horrible, how is she labeled the scream queen? What about Olivia Hussey in the far superior film, "Black Christmas"? Just like countless other exploitation films, it spends half the movie with unimportant dialogue, and you just wonder when the hell it's going to cut to the chase.
Speaking of the chase, the first part is all right, but then she hides the kids in a cupboard and she goes to hide in a closet? What about escaping through the window? After stabbing him in the face with a wire hanger, she believes he's dead, even though she previously stabbed him in the neck earlier and he faked his death then as well.
The ending was the only good part of the film, and his body isn't lying on the ground when Loomis goes to check. The sequel ruined it for me, though, I thought this was supposed to provoke thought! 1/10
