Excellent, the best

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 2004)

Halloween is absolutely the best horror movie that I have ever seen. John Carpenter understood "it". That special something that makes a horror movie enjoyable. There are no frills, no special effects, and no phony plot twists. An absolutely terrific and pounding musical score sets the tone of the movie from the very beginning. The first time that I saw the movie I was thoroughly satisfied with the suspense factor. The suspenseful moments in this movie can be so intense that they are palpable. Yep, what a great date movie. Fellows simply turn the lights out with your girlfriend and sit on the other side of the couch. You won't have to find your girlfriend after 20 minutes; she'll be crouched beside you. If you like horror movies and want to be scared, give this movie a try.
