Halloween 1 review

Rating: 9/10 (25 February 2010)

I first watched this film around 10 years a go and i was impressed, now i can't go a month without watching it.
Some people don't rate it because of the lack of gore. Now a days all horror movies have to contain loads of gore which is not that scary. The modern generation find this poor because there "isn't enough kills" but older fans like suspense and that what this film gives
It starts of with Michael when he was 6 killing his older sister I liked the touch where the view is Michael's. Good thinking from John Carpenter
15 years later he escapes and rages terror on Haddonfield. The film then builds on suspense. Michael watches and waits for the right time to claim his victims. His victims are 3 teenage girls. Laurie Strode, played well by Jamie Lee Curtis. Annie Bracket (the Sheriffs daughter)and Lynda (idon;t know her last name). Obviously other people fall victim to Michael Myers but they are the main 3. We don't see a kill for an hour or so, but the suspense is there. Then he claims the life of Annie, then Lynda's boyfriend, then Lynda herself. Unaware of the deaths, Laurie goes to see what is going on at the house across the road from the house she is baby sitting in,Thinking that her friends are joking. but she finds them dead and then is chased by Michael Myers which has you at the edge of your seat. All this time Michael has been pursued by his former Doctor Sam Loomis and Sheriff Bracket, while Michael struggles with Laurie, Dr Loomis shoots Michael six times, Michael then falls of the balcony, but then when he looks, Michael is gone,End of film. Great ending to a great film.
The Music in this film is brilliantly done, especially the theme, all are quite scary.
This film is brilliantly done, and is one of my favourite films.
Overall i give it 9/10
