The best in the series

Rating: 9/10 (7 October 2019)

Ah, Halloween. One of the best horror films of all time. It's a simple story about an escaped murderer going around and killing on Halloween. The atmosphere this film gives out is so realistic that it still manages to be scary to this day. The film decides that minimal to no gore is best and it works! The fact that we know very little about the killer (at least until the sequels) makes this film scary. The acting in this film is top notch. The film is slow at times (which is why this film has not been awarded a perfect score). Some scenes where it is slow, it adds tension but in some instances, it just feels not needed. But, what we get is a classic that is a must watch on Halloween every year.
