Masterpiece of the horror genre

Rating: 10/10 (11 June 2002)

Halloween is a true masterpiece in the world of horror films. The character of Michael Myers in Halloween is truly disturbing and quite scary. Unlike other horror films Halloween doesn't rely heavily on gore alone, but uses atmosphere to truly strike fear into the viewer.
Donald Pleasence gives an inspiring performance as Dr. Sam Loomis, Jamie Lee Curtis showed her talent in her film debut as Laurie Strode, and John Carpenter masterfully directed a movie that set a standard for other slasher movies to live up to (which, as of now, no other slasher has lived up to).
If you have not seen this masterpiece I suggest you make a trip to your local video store and enjoy a truly scary movie.
