A Great Original MUST-SEE

Rating: 10/10 (10 January 2009)

This is truly the "lift off" or "start" of all the cliché horror movies and slasher flicks we have today. "Friday the 13th" was a pretty bad rip-off but lets pass all that. This movie is so riveting and amazing, throwing suspense, terror, and bloody good fun at the viewer. Anyone watching will ask for more and surely see the rest of the series. (If you do avoid 5,6, and 8) It stars the beautiful "Jamie Lee Curtis" and her co-star "Donald Pleasance". With the new master of horror, John Carptenter directing, this movie is amazing. The music makes up most of the suspense and adds a lot of the build up to the climax. Very good acting and camera work, not so bloody: more suspenseful and terrorizing. I highly recommend it for anyone a fan of horror or not!
