Most Influential Slasher Ever.

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2002)

Halloween is the father of modern slasher films. Sure there's Black Christmas, which was well made but not as influential, suspenseful, or subtle, as Halloween.
John Carpenters respect for the genre helped him create a truly great film, he didnt rely on blood and gore to create the scares, he relied on suspense and the audience's ability to use their imagination to create the scares. Strong cast featuring Jamie Lee Curtis in her first film roll, and horror great Donald Pleasance co-starring.
This story of pure evil in its simplest form is not to be forgotten.
