Introducing Michael Myers

Rating: 10/10 (28 October 2019)

While The Texas Chainsaw Massacre changes the game for a niche horror audience Halloween took the mainstream by storm and also gave us the genres most famous slasher Michael Myers.
Director John Carpenter uses shadow and an implication of a supernatural foe that cannot die to fill the audience with the despair of the futility Laurie Strode (played wonderfully by Jamie Lee Curtis) must feel with each subsequent attack by Myers. A classic...high end indeed.
