Halloween, 1978...The Night HE Came Home!

Rating: 9/10 (7 April 2008)

Halloween tells a simple story. A young boy, Michael Myers, murders his sister in cold blood. After being sent away, it's now 15 years later. There's no hope left in this boy, and his doctor, Loomis, (Donald Pleasance) devotes his life to making sure that he never is released, but on October 30th, 1978, he escapes from a mental institution and Loomis knows where he's headed, his childhood home in Haddonfield, IL. Once Myers is there, he stalks Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), Annie (Nancy Loomis), and Lynda (P.J. Soles) before murdering them. Will Loomis be able to find Michael before they are all dead? The best thing about this movie is that it is so simple. It's not a complicated plot. It's pretty straightforward. There's no elaborate death scenes, they're simple. The suspense is phenomenal! You truly never know when he will attack and kill. This is a must see for all horror fans. It may feel dated, but it is still creepy to watch to this day. 9.5/10.
