The best horror film ever made

Rating: Null/10 (27 April 1999)

Halloween is without a doubt the best horror film ever made. No movie before or since has captured the sheer terror of the dark and the unknown. The fact that the movie is so terrifying is made even more incredible because it was made on a shoestring budget over 20 years ago. The image of Michael Myers clad in deep blue with a bone-white mask still haunts an entire generation who saw the film when it first debuted. The entire film works on every level: the music, the lighting, and the slowly building tension until the most memorable showdown in horror film history. Halloween redefined the genre, paving the way for many inferior ripoffs. Years after people have seen the film, though, they still glance over their shoulders on Halloween night...
