The original slasher!

Rating: Null/10 (12 July 2004)

Halloween - the original slasher film (yes - before Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street). This basically has no budget and no plot for that matter. The "plot" focuses on a young Jamie Lee Curtis - the virgin babysitter who is stalked by an unknown masked boogie man (....Michael Myers). This is the original slasher film - not much plot - just a lot of set piece murder scenes shot in near darkness. Yes - this movie is very very tame compared to today's standards (in terms of gore and sex) but it is a classic - with many imitators and clones (and even spoofs!). And you have to love the Halloween score - truly creepy.... Watch this with the lights off and the doors locked.
