Still the best slasher film ever made

Rating: 10/10 (30 September 1999)

With Halloween just around the corner, I figured this would be the perfect time to write a quick review on the classic slasher film by the same name. After a succession of horror classics throughout the 70's, Halloween burst on the scene and spawned a number of sequels and influenced a whole new genre of film: the slasher film. Many slashers were made over the next several years but none could compare to the original Halloween. Though it's lost some of its' impact since 1978, Halloween still remains a level above any of the trash masquerading as horror films today. 10/10
