The Mother of All Slasher Movies

Rating: Null/10 (6 February 1999)

This movie ranks up there with the best, definitely deserving the crown of "The Mother of All Slasher Movies". There have been SO many movies that have tried to imitate the terror of this film, but they can never equal it. A very low budget, combined with a no-name cast, this movie went on to become one of the most popular horror movies of all time. Jamie Lee Curtis went on to become a Scream Queen in many other horror movies, and owes it all to this film. The 1970's produced many horror Masterpieces, this being one of them. Michael Myers is now a legend, and has spanned three decades. Halloween has spawned 6 more sequels, 5 of which star Michael Myers, 3 which feature Jamie Lee Curtis (stay away from Halloween: H20, it's an utter sell-out disgrace), and only 3 that are really worth watching (1,2,4).
