The best slasher ever!

Rating: 8/10 (4 September 2000)

I believe, along with thousands, that this is the best slasher movie ever created. I say "slasher" because I also love Hitchcock's PSYCHO and catagorizing the two seperately enabelizes me to say they are both the best. Because they are the best, PSYCHO the best horror film, and HALLOWEEN the best slasher/thriller film. By today's standards, this film is full of cliched situations and sub plots, but in its time, these horror cliches were just being born, and therefore makes this film one of the most original and scary films out there. Gore is minimal, instead the film relies on clever camerawork and suspense as it's successful qualities. A must! It's not CASABLANCA and it's not CHILDREN OF THE CORN, so i give it ***/****, and for a horror flick, folks, that's unbelievable!
