Not as original as it thinks it is.

Rating: Null/10 (20 May 2000)

A child named Mike Myers kills his sister in a small town on Halloween night in 1963. Fifthteen years later, in 1978, he escapes from a mental ward and returns to his hometown to kill all the babysitters.
This film has the ability to shock and scare you silly. It is also very well directed and doesn't feature tons of gore. But, the film is very similar to Black Christmas ( which came out first ), using many of the same story elements it used and the direction is very closely releated. Still enjoyable, but not worth all the hype. 7 out of 10.
