i remembered it being better than this (6.5/10)

Rating: 7/10 (6 November 2007)

this movie is considered classic,and i can kinda see why.i guess it was the first movie to tap into peoples fear of the bogeyman and put it to screen in a horror film.it also has that great musical score by John Carpenter.i have seen it a few times,most recently last night.this time i was not as impressed as i remember being before.but then again i'd also just seen Rob Zombie's 2007 version.as for this movie,i found it quite slow at times.and the acting is not the greatest.the movie had a low budget,but that didn't really bother me.i think the filmmakers did a good job with the budget they had.it certainly could have looked a lot worse.there are also a few logic gaps,which i only noticed when things got slow.it gave me a chance to think about things in the movie.i didn't find it scary, or even suspenseful,but i can see how it might have been scary back in the day.for me,Halloween(1978 version)is a 6.5/10.
