I wanted to like it more than I actually did

Rating: 6/10 (23 December 2015)

Halloween (1978) starring Jamie Lee Curtis is obviously a huge hit and is beloved by horror movie fans around the globe. I really did want to like this movie, but I just didn't like it all that much. OK, my big problem with it, is it just kinda dragged along at the beginning, i felt like it took way too long to get going. So because of that, I became sort of bored at the beginning. Now, I did enjoy Jamie's strong performance as Laurie Strode, the main victim. And I liked the other actor's performances, pretty good acting in this movie. Once the killings started, it started getting better, and I became interested in the film. The movie had a good script and pretty well written dialogue. Was it scary?? Well...... Sort of/not really. Halloween had it's scares at times, but overall not all that scary. 6/10 for Halloween (1978). Now let's see how the rob zombie remake is. I will probably be seeing/reviewing that one next.
