Sheer horror perfection!

Rating: 10/10 (9 June 2013)

This film earns its reputation as arguably the best horror movie ever made.
John Carpenter's 1978 classic crafts the modern slasher genre, with an elusive killer stalking teenagers before swooping in for the kill. The character of Michael Myers is enough to strike fear to anyone, and Donald Pleasence's Dr Loomis provides an excellent match for the film's antagonist in an outstanding performance. Jamie Lee Curtis' character gives a likable protagonist for the audience to connect with.
The plot of the film may seem a little clichéd, but Carpenter produces magnificently, accompanied by an unforgettable soundtrack, provides the ultimate horror experience for any movie fan.
