A great start to the boogeyman franchise

Rating: 10/10 (23 October 2014)

For the first installment in the Halloween series, young Michael Myers on Halloween night 1963 age 6 kills his older sister Judith Myers age 15 for no apparent reason. Michael is placed in a psych ward for 15 years fir the murder, but his psychiatrist Sam loomis played wonderfully by the late Donald pleasance is the only one who knows that Michael is faking his Catatonia and knows that there is an evil presence driving Michael. Michael escapes and tracks down his sister Laurie strode played by Jamie lee Curtis in het film debut and daughter of legendary horror actress Janet Leigh and tony Curtis. I think what makes Michael scary is that there seems to be no motivation for his killings but rather a vessel of pure evil as Sam loomis puts it. After more than 36 years later, the film still remains a classic and worthy of repeated viewing.
