Nothing scarier...

Rating: 9/10 (25 July 2007)

Halloween is a stunning, stylish slasher film with an excellent cast. It is set in the Midwest of America, on Halloween night, where mental patient Michael Myers is stalking various different teens in an attempt to kill them all. What is so surprising about Halloween's success is that it cost little under $500,000 to make. It clearly did not need an inconceivably large budget to prove success, and the fact that its gone onto influence cinema to this day is amazing.
Jamie Lee Curits hits full stride in one of her earliest cinema performances. She plays Lorie Strode, Halloween's heroin who fights of one horrors most psychotic villains. Pleasence is brilliant as the cynical detective also trying to put an end to Michael's devilish ways. John Carpenter, master of suspense, has created a tense, unsettling atmosphere and one of the greatest horror films of all time. See it, otherwise your missing out. Makes a great party movie too!
