Ultimate horror masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2019)

Halloween (1978) is one of very few horror movies that contains no gore, very little blood and not much violence, proving you don't need all of that to make a horror movie scary. As cliche as it sounds, they don't make them like that anymore. Subtle horror at its finest, slow burn scares, smart character writing, extremely tense sequences that still hold up to this day. Directed by John Carpenter and introducing Jamie Lee Curtis in her first starring role, this atmospheric horror/thriller redefined the genre. Carpenter's score for this film is iconic, it's spine-chilling theme about a sociopath murdering just because is executed with resonant simplicity. Carpenter's masterpiece still reigns supreme in horror !
