The Best Slasher Of All Time

Rating: 10/10 (24 September 2015)

There really isn't much left to be said about John Carpenter's "Halloween". However I am re-watching the whole Halloween franchise since Halloween is only a little over a month a way (stretching I know but I will take any excuse to re-watch these films) and I felt like it couldn't hurt to post another positive review gushing about this excellent movie.
I'm fairly young so unfortunately I didn't get to experience this in the cinemas when it was first released, but I did get the chance to grow up with this film and it haunted me every Halloween since I was 12. The first time I watched it I was legitimately scared that a mask wearing psycho was stalking me in the shadows. Watching it today doesn't have the same effect, but it is a lot easier to appreciate the film when I'm not being scared to death.
"Halloween" does everything right, every scene of the film is just perfect and every time I watch I feel like I find a new scene that really gets to me and creeps me out a bit. Although the kills are very tame by todays standards they are still very well done and pretty terrifying. Sure the acting is a little over the top and some of the character's reactions while they are being murdered are pretty unrealistic and cheesy, but that is all forgivable just because this is such a classic.
Like I said before, there isn't really a lot I can say that everyone hasn't already said, but if you are reading this and you actually have never seen this movie then I cannot stress to you enough that you need to watch this immediately.
