Rating: 10/10 (2 August 1998)

"Halloween" is, aside from maybe "Psycho," the greatest horror film ever made and is a true classic of cinema. There are moments when the suspense becomes too much and one literally has to pause the tape and take a breather. John Carpenter's direction is superb and Curtis's career-launching performance is definitely atypical among slasher flicks. Pop some popcorn and be prepared to cover your eyes at all times. A-
