A Classic!

Rating: 10/10 (2 October 1998)

Where do I begin? Well, when most people hear about a slasher movie, they think, 'Oh that's just a movie about a bunch of horny teenagers running around getting their heads cut off!' Well guess where people got that idea? This is a tough one folks so think before you answer!! 'Halloween' set the standard for slasher movies, and since it's success, has been copied so many times I run out of fingers. But unlike it's sadly delinquent offspring, 'Halloween' is actually worth watching. I enjoyed it very much. I don't know why. I didn't find it all that scary, (although the closet scene was rather tense). But I guess just because it's a horror, doesn't mean you have to be scared to enjoy it.
I guess the reason I enjoyed it was because the way it was filmed creates a mood, and while I watched it, I had a feeling of what the characters were going through as good old Michael Myers 'calmly' hacks his way through doorways and windows and the sort.
You'll notice I put the word 'calmly' in parenthesis. I think it's neat how Michael just walks instead of runs after his victims. I sat down and thought about why he would do this. Is he 'Transportationly' challenged? I finally came to the conclusion that he just doesn't care. If he catches them and kills them, great! If he doesn't, he feels that there will always be someone else to slash. Maybe they'll be in the shower! You never know. Anyway, to make a long story short, if you haven't seen this movie yet, see it NOW!
