Best slasher movie ever

Rating: 9/10 (2 October 2017)

I'm not into slasher movies much and this is probably the only one I'll ever see in my entire life that I'll give a rating higher than an 8/10 or ***. What makes this movie so great is of course the atmosphere. I could have sworn that I heard this music being credited to "A Nightmare On Elm Street". Well, maybe that person was wrong. My favorite scene is probably at the very beginning where Michael commits his first kill. It's taken from his perspective and then it goes out and shows him as a kid without his mask. You'd think that would be something they'd work hard to hide.
In fact, there are many glimpses of him without his mask and a rather clear one at the end. This might sound funny, but I'm really impressed at how Michael drives a car. In so many of these movies, the killer just randomly appears everywhere and seems to be able to teleport. They actually give a justification for this and make the killer intelligent. The fact that he just exists in the background in many scenes works out great too. They don't just focus on him and instead try to give real development to the side characters, always admirable. ***1/2
