Classic That Started It All

Rating: 8/10 (20 August 2004)

Halloween is a very important film, not only jump starting unknown director John Carpenter's and unknown actress Jamie Lee Curtis' careers but also started the "slasher" flick craze throughout the eighties and even now. I think this is Carpenter's best, before he started putting his name before all his film titles, he uses many good camera techniques and actually makes the character of Michael Meyers someone to be afraid of. Despite its very low budget it still holds up today, despite the acting isn't the best(except for Donald Pleasance) and everything has sort of the 70's feel. Made $50 million at the box office.
Very Impressive. Spawned eight or so sequels.
