Personification of Horror!!!!!

Rating: Null/10 (21 April 1999)

There isn't enough that can be said about John Carpenter's masterpiece. Halloween is the personification of horror. John Carpenter clairvoyantly expounds on our darkest fears in the form of a menacing shape, Michael Myers. The reality of this character dispels the notions of monsters, ghosts and goblins, but gives us something much more terrifying, an unstoppable human force. Michael's emotionless demeanor, casual cat and mouse pursuit, and determination coupled with Carpenter's deliberate lack of lighting all serve to create an ominous atmosphere that uneases, and forces the viewer to delve inward and question their own surroundings and safety. Halloween has stood the test of time to become the most watched and loved horror movie of it's time. Halloween is a must see, a staple for any horror fan, and serves as the standard for other horror films to achieve.
I highly recommend Halloween to everyone!!
