Slasher origins

Rating: 10/10 (18 April 2011)

The slasher was started with Psycho(1960)and continued being a new and wasn't very practiced,until Halloween.This film is the REAL first slasher.It introduced many topics and clichés that were used until today:The final girl,the murderer-persecutor(a adult like a doctor of detective)the teenagers who are killed one by one,sex,drugs,alcohol...
The story tell about Michael Myers,a crazy man who killed his own sister when was a child.Now,he is free and returns to Haddonfield,where he lived.In Haddonfield,he stalks a young babysitter,Laurie Strode,and her friends,Annie and Linda,while doctor Loomis and sheriff Brackett tries to catch Myers.Halloween has very thrilling scenes and it's SCARY,whitout ANY gore.
SPOILER:A child is bullied by three older children.When they are running,Myers put his hands on one of them's shoulders.This makes me jump in the chair!
