This Did Not Work For Me, and I'll Tell You Why

Rating: 1/10 (10 September 2007)

Halloween(1978)
Review: So this is the original. I confess that till yesterday that I did not see it and I finally did and I could not believe what I saw....
Halloween is supposed to be the horror slasher classic. Quite frankly I do not understand what all the hype is all about. This has to be one of the most overrated and boring movies this side of the Shining and the Exorcist.
There are many problems here such as the opening scene of Myers killing someone had me rolling my eyes and laughing a bit. Also After fifteen years in a mental hospital, how can Myers drive a car so nicely? He's been institutionalized since he was a child. Did he get his license in the loony bin? Also, in a slasher movie, why did it take forever for Myers to claim his first victim? This is supposed to be horror, not constant teen chit-chat. And Myers has to be the most boring horror villain ever. No suspense or not the least bit chilling at all.
The Last Word: Knife try Carpenter. How this became a "classic" is beyond me. I'll stick with A Nightmare on Elm Street thanks.
