An excellent work by Carpenter- he explores all the tactics of horror filmmaking. A genius.

Rating: 10/10 (12 March 2004)

Carpenter has always had a flair for horror ( Assault on Precinct 13, Starman,etc) all of which showed developing skills in his film making. The story follows a madman ( Michael Myers) who murdered his sister in 1963 and has ecsaped fom the sanitarium he has spent 15 years of his life. 1978- Laurie Strode( a keen, conscientious kid who loves babysitting is given the task to watch kids and unknowing of what is to follow.... excellent acting on all parts. Donald Pleasance is great Laurie is Great EVERYBODY IS GREAT 100%
