Plain and simple: Horror....but nothing else

Rating: 8/10 (7 December 2015)

Nothing more, nothing less...
I have to say that i like horror movies, but there is only a 1% which actually scared me. I REALLY don't like the typical slasher-gore films: really boring, without any kind of interest. The most of them are not scary at all. The only thing i can find are just tons of Ketchup Tomato. That's all.
The best Horror movies are usually psychological, it has an intelligent plot and blood effects only when needed.: The Omen, The Exorcist, Rosemary's Baby, Angel Heart, Alien, The Changeling (1980)...
"Halloween" has a simple plot, so the story itself is not interesting.
But....
The film is designed such the viewer can feel the sensation of "fear" in a constant manner.
Slasher-gore is about "to show". And has no interest.
Psychological horror is about "to suggest". And keeps you guessing.
With a low budget and almost no SFX all the suspense charge lies on pure cinematic means: camera and music. The pace, quite slow to be a horror movie, music is chilling and constant and subjective camera well managed by John Carpenter, results in a good horror movie that will leave you chained to your seat.
8/10
