Halloween, more suspense than terror

Rating: 10/10 (23 October 2018)

"Halloween", released in 1978, is an American film packed with suspense and intrigue, with slight touches of terror in its dark scenes. The film, although long and with a slow transition between events, manages to construct a shocking atmosphere with the permanent atmosphere of suspense, the dark places of the houses and the streets on Halloween nights, with the presence of the iconica music theme of the murderer Michael Myers and his sudden appearances. Halloween is a movie that makes the viewer look over the shoulders of the characters in anticipation of seeing the feared villain. With a permanent Halloween mood, it's a movie that catches you in the plot, waiting for any glimpse of the feared killer and hoping that the poor victims have some chance, albeit minimal, to escape their masked threat.
