An Edge of Your Seat Horror that Set the Standard for all Scary Movies,

Rating: 8/10 (13 November 2016)

Halloween is a great movie with a well developed plot and a great cast. It is a top notch horror that kept me at the edge of my seat from start to finish. It had an excellent use of music that perfectly builds up the tension and suspense, it never rushes the plot, allowing the audience to feel fear long before anything ever happens.
The only thing that really bothered me was that you knew when every death was coming from a mile away. There were no surprises, no characters who I thought would live ended up dying and no characters that I thought would die ended up surviving, it was all very expected.
The films two main stars, Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasance, are excellent in their roles. Curtis takes on a very strong female lead and provides several traits to make her character unique. Meanwhile, Pleasance classes up the joint with his experienced acting, it really is a pleasure to watch this man perform and naturally slip in to every role.
It may have set the standards for today's horror films, but it is better than most of them, it maintains a structure throughout that works and remains thrilling, unlike most that get boring and predictable after awhile. Thrilling and suspenseful, Halloween is a very enjoyable film that I would certainly recommend to all fans of horror.
After escaping from an asylum, maniac Michael Myers haunts the streets he use to live on during Halloween night.
Best Performance: Donald Pleasance / Worst Performance: Brian Andrews
