An Intense Classic!!

Rating: 10/10 (8 July 2011)

I don't think that anyone born after 1990 should be allowed to review this movie. All's your gonna get is: "This movie sucks--It's no Saw--I have seen better".
All slamming young people aside, this movie will be an eternal classic. It scared me when I was a kid and it still scares me now. Nothing holds a candle to this John Carpenter classic. The music is chilling, the story is awesome and the characters are very well done.
When John Carpenter was given the OK, he knew exactly what scared people and his view of the killer sends chills up and down my spine when I see the Shape closing in on people. Even though I have seen the film 100's of times, it is still worth the view.
Even decades from now, Halloween will still be celebrated by those who know a classic when they see it and many conventions will be held to cater to those people. Michael Myers, the man and name, is tantamount to terror and night time shivers to the nth degree. Even though Hollywood seriously botched the sequels (until Halloween H20) they still offered Halloween fans something to help them appreciate the original.
Jamie Lee Curtis started out as a nobody in the film but became an instant scream queen because of her excellent portrayal of Myer's sister. All the angles were covered by Carpenter which adds up to not only a great story but a good lesson in how to make a scary movie that will endure.
So, keep up your head and enjoy the classic, the only--Halloween!!
