The Grand-Daddy of all Slasher Flicks

Rating: 10/10 (14 July 2008)

If you don't remotely like this movie and claim to love slasher movies, there's something seriously wrong with you. This movie set the bar for the rest of the slashers to follow like Friday the 13th and Prom Night. There were no other movies before this one where a bunch of baby-sitters got naked, did drugs, and got knocked off one-by-one. John Carpenter took such a simple concept and made it one of the greatest movies of all time.
The following actors deserve awards for their performances: Donald Pleasance for making Dr. Loomis (at least in my eyes) the most likable guy in the film, Charles Cyphers for his role as the tough-as-nails Sheriff Brackett, Jamie-Lee Curtis for playing Laurie Strode and becoming perhaps the greatest scream-queen of all time. Little gore, great kills, a freaky score, and a terrifying villain, you can't go wrong watching this movie. It is truly one of the best horror flicks out there.
