Great Slasher Movie.

Rating: 10/10 (30 October 2001)

It's Halloween and in a small town called Haddonfield, in Illinois, in 1963, a six year old boy named Michael Myers has murdered his teenage sister. Michael is than sent to a sanitarium under the care of Dr.Sam Loomis, who is the only one who can really see the evil that is Michael Myers. Few years on, it's October 1978 and Michael escapes from the sanitarium to go back to his old town and kill again on Halloween. After witnessing Michaels escape, Dr.Loomis goes back to Haddonfield to find Michael and to try and stop him from killing again. When Michael gets back to Haddonfield he begins to stalk young Laurie Strode and her friends Annie and Linda, with Dr. Loomis and the town sheriff on his case, to get the evil back.
Jamie Lee Curtis gives an okay performance here. She's not exactly brilliant, but it's good enough. She's just a little unrealistic.

Halloween is a great slasher movie. This one and Halloween H20 are my favourite 'Halloween' movies. I've seen all the Halloween sequels and whilst they're not the most terrible movies around, they don't compare to the first one or to the most recent Halloween. You even get to see Michaels face in this first movie. I give Halloween a 9/10.
