Still the best horror movie made to date...

Rating: 10/10 (22 February 2004)

I've been watching horror movies since I was 8 years old. I'm 28 now and still to this date the best horror movie ever made is and will probably always be John Carpenter's: Halloween. Don't get me wrong there are plenty other movies in the horror genre that were and are scary and acceptable. Just from the shear nature of the film and its realism, that is primarily what makes this my favorite and best movie ever made. I can only hope as an aspiring film maker myself that I could make something as challenging and heartfelt as John did with Halloween. It's funny cause my friends and I get into such debates on what in fact is the best horror movie out there right now. Lot of them say The Excorcist, or Friday The 13th, or even Nightmare on Elm Street. Yeah... of course I have a great deal of respect for those films as well. And yes lot of them are actually in my top ten list of all time favorite horror movies made. But nothing can surpass the all time champ... Halloween. Hail to John Carpenter.
