Good Horror

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2006)

Nearly 30 years on and this film is still quite a shocker.It was made long before any of the teen slasher movies and i think its still better then any of them,as it has this really creepy atmosphere from the start to finish which gives it the edge on the not so serious teen slashers of today.The suspense is really good and does hold you on the edge of your seat,you never see a lot of blood if any,the film relies on suspense and lots of jumpy moments. Its a shame that when they made the sequel Halloween 2 they made it more of a gore fest and it just wasn't the same. Jamie Lee Curtis gives a really good performance in Halloween and i think she is a better actress than shes given credit. I've seen this film so many times now and its always good to watch if there is nothing else on.
