You'll be seeing Michael forever lurking in the dark corner of your room!

Rating: 10/10 (29 November 2005)

The most terrifying "face" of evil is no face at all, and in this case the few explanations about Michael Myers's motives only add to the tension.
Of course the movie does not appear as scary as today's visual effects-filled teen slasher movies, which only aim to give you a quick scare but fail to leave any real mark in your psyche. The obsessive music composed by Carpenter himself will stay buried in your mind long after you have left the theater.
The movie is structured exactly like a real nightmare, where you only have to put the right ingredients and then your psyche will do the rest making sure you wake up in a cold sweat...You have to consider the fact that Carpenter leaves everything pretty much to your imagination, as he just gives you a hint(the masked Myers, the terrified Loomis and the frightened Laurie) and then pretty much obsessively plays the tune that will leave a scar in your mind forever.

"Evil, pure evil!"
