The extreme realism of it scared the hell out of me

Rating: Null/10 (7 December 2000)

Halloween (1978) Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasance (RIP) Directed by: John Carpenter
My rating:5 out of 5
In my personal opinion, this film is a masterpiece of terror. A film so in-depth, so scary, it's probably going to scare everyone who sees it (except people who are used to the fast-paced "Scream" type of movies") The atmosphere and the tension build-up is almost to much to handle.
This is also Jamie Lee Curtis's first starring role in a feature film, where she plays a young, pretty high-school student who is going to babysit on Halloween night. Her and her friends just think it's just going to be a normal halloween night, until HE came home...
Also starring in this film is the late Donald Pleasance(sp?) who plays a doctor that treated an escaped mental patient who is about to cause havoc in a small town called Haddonfield.
This is probably one of the top five best horror films of all time, and I highly suggest it for any new horror fan looking for a good scare.
