Halloween

Rating: 10/10 (30 July 2006)

The first Halloween was by far the best "slasher film" ever made in my humble opinion. It terms of the acting and screen play, the movie was way ahead of it's time, regarding other horror flicks and 25 years later, still has the power to scare.
Unlike other "slasher" films, Halloween did not rely on "cheap scares" like gore and piles and piles of dismembered bodies. It was more of a "psycological scare".
While the sequels that followed were good (with exception being Halloween III: Season of the Witch, which really should not be in the franchise), none could live up to the original, which still stands after all these years.
