Halloween: an old truth in a new reality

Rating: 1/10 (2 July 2009)

John carpenter is the director I admire the most... This film is awful. It is without a story and it is mind numbingly boring. The character of Michael Myers is evil.. thats it. No dimensions to him. Its a boring character. There is virtually no story in this film. For the better part of the duration people walk around very slowly i long scenes. They think they see something, then its gone again. they think its their friends messing around. They back up into something harmless that spooks them. All the clichés..its completely bereft of intellectual stimulation...It sucks, plain and simple. "well nowadays every horror movie does that stuff but Halloween did all that first"....I don't care. Im not watching this film 30 years ago, I'm watching it today. When I sit down to watch a movie I want to be told a story, I do not want a lesson in film history. People cling to old truths. somehow Halloween became a holy cow. Everybody and their little brother will tell you that Halloween is a classic, because everybody been telling each other that for 30 years..don't believe them for a second. Its like cave-art in the renaissance. It sucks, plain and simple.
