Classic Holiday Film

Rating: 9/10 (4 November 2017)

This is such a classic film from the great John Carpenter. It captures the feeling of an American Halloween day in suburbia and then slowly delves in to a tragic, horror experience. Donald Pleasence as Dr. Loomis is fantastic and set the standard for other films. The scenes are intense without resorting to "over the top" gratuitous violence like so many films other of the time did. A must watch for fans of Halloween and classic horror.
