Masterpiece of slasher theme

Rating: 9/10 (5 August 2012)

"Halloween" was terrifying when it comes out, because it was possible as there is someone like Michael Myers in our streets... and still today. It's not the first slasher film but probably the most famous, because it has been directed by John Carpenter. He was the master of horror in the seventy's and the eighty's but his last films were a bit less good. Michael Myers is also the representation of the evil, because of his pale mask and his strange power of be hard to kill. This movie inspired many directors like Bob Clark for his film "Black Christmas" or also James Cameron for his future classic : Terminator.
The sequels aren't as good as this film, this is the best one of the saga.
