Michael Meyers is the greatest slasher.

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2005)

I don't rate this one according to today's standards, if that were so then this would be just barley above Jeepers Creepers. Halloween was original for its time, before the 10 million Halloween rip offs like Friday the 13th. As said the first 10mins of a movie are the most important and Halloween lets us know that from the very beginning. Michael kills his older sister and shortly after is caught by his parents and sent off to a psycho-ward. Fifteen years later he returns on the night of Halloween. I almost saw H20 first but decided to wait on that. Instead I rented this to see the roots of the then long line of Halloween movies. I was intoxicated after the first view and immediately had to see the second Halloween. Michael Meyers is the greatest slasher of all time. In my book he was the first, although it could be argued that Norman Bates was the first. Halloween has a very original feel right from the beginning all the way to the end. See it if you're a fan of horror and slasher films. The mystery behind it is well thought out and played out.
