This is a classic?

Rating: Null/10 (30 July 1998)

Okay, I know Halloween is supposed to one of the greatest horror films of all time, but I wonder if anyone who says that has actually watched it recently. All the hoopla about the upcoming 20th anniversary sequel, and how it is a sequel that "finally lives up to the original" made me curious about the original film. So I rented it -- I have never laughed harder in my life. Not only is the movie not scary, the acting (with the exception of Jamie Lee Curtis) is horrible, and the script is banal and incredibly boring. Granted, the idea of this psycho in a mask stalking these teenagers is scary, but the way it was portrayed most certainly is not.
