Michael Myers Is One Of The Best Villains Ever

Rating: Null/10 (27 May 2002)

Twenty four years after Halloween came out I still find myself spooked by it whenever I watch it.
Most people are aware of the plot-a young boy by the name of Michael Myers kills his sister and is sent to an asylum. He escapes at the age of 21 and returns to his original stomping ground on Halloween night to kill.
For the first half of the film we don't see any blood-the horror is very atmospheric and Michael Myers seems to be hiding in the shadows accompanied by that eerie music. Myers is one of the scariest villains ever-he is totally inhuman and is pure evil. Once we arrive at Halloween night the film gets even better as Michael goes on a murderous rampage. Only one man can stop him-Dr. Loomis-the man who treated Michael for years. Loomis is played by the late Donald Pleasence and it is a good part for Pleasence. Throughout the film Loomis comments on the psychology of Michael Myers-he describes Michael as having no soul and someone that should be locked up permanently.
Also,who can forget Jamie Lee Curtis in one of her finest roles even to this day. Later sequels would suffer without her absence.
All in all, this is a truly creepy film that has stood the test of time today and is much better than a lot of horror junk being churned out by studio's today. Watch it-it will scare you!
