'Halloween' is more than a treat

Rating: Null/10 (26 February 2002)

... It's an instant horror classic. Now, many of today's viewers who have never seen the movie will call this movie boring and trite and probably compare it to "scream". What no one undertsands is that... this was the first slasher movie EVER. Now... some people consider "Psycho" the grandfather of all slasher... i don't. I consider "Psycho" the grandfather of horror... cause i also consider the movie to be a drama/mystery/suspense. Now on to halloween.
I remember, i first saw this movie after i saw "halloween 6" in the theater. When i watched this movie, it amazed me, and i was at the tender age of 12, im 17 now. This is my favorite movie of all time. "Halloween" is not just any ordinary slasher flick, it is a beautifully well-made horror movie, and that is hard to say about horror movies. The setting of this movie takes place in a small town in Illinois (haddonfield). The fact that john carpentar captures, day, dusk, and night is awesome. The leaves falling are just mesmerizing, makes you feel like your in october 31st!!!
This is Jamie Lee Curtis' first role, and she does a helluva job on it. The other actors are very well convincing us that they are high school teenagers having a good time on Halloween. Donald Pesleance....well...needs no introduction.
Point blank, this is one of the best horror movies ever made, if not, the best. It has little gore and heavy suspense, as it shows the first chase scenes and so forth. Many copycats have tried, but only failed, with their trite scripts. Highly reccomended... if you never seen it, rent it now, and wait till the ending!!
