The second best horror film of all time!

Rating: Null/10 (14 August 2001)

The two best horror films of all time came out in the 1970s: THE EXORCIST in 1973 and HALLOWEEN in 1978. There's no denying that both movies are absolute masterpieces. However, I have always preferred HALLOWEEN over THE EXORCIST. In terms of camera work and overall style, HALLOWEEN is the better of the two. It is masterfully directed and has very well written dialogue, a great score, and the best opening sequence of any horror film ever made. No review of HALLOWEEN would be complete without mentioning the performance by Jamie Lee Curtis. She is fantastic! She gives the best performance out of anyone in the whole movie. The supporting cast is also excellent. Donald Pleasence gives a truly memorable performance as Dr. Loomis and P.J. Soles, while annoying at times, also does a good job with her role.
A brilliant motion picture that changed history, HALLOWEEN is the one film every horror fan must see. There's nothing else like it. I give it 10/10.
