The best horror film of all time

Rating: 10/10 (28 October 2019)

John Carpenter knows exactly how to scare me. Michael Myers is calm, walks slowly, and doesn't speak, but that's just what makes him so frightening. I also really enjoyed the idea of how he is basically the embodiment of pure evil. Unlike most villains, his parents didn't die or society abandoned him - he doesn't have any tragic backstory. He was just born like this. And that is one scary thought which not a lot of films employ. Nowadays we're all so into gloryfying villains (e.g. "Joker") that we don't even take into account that some people are just born evil. It's a shame that most of the later instalments in the "Halloween" franchise depicted Michael crying and made him related to Laurie, giving him emotions and a motive. They missed the whole point.
