The Evil Within

Rating: 7/10 (21 October 2018)

One of Carpenter's fine moments - together with all those classics he directed like The Thing, Escape From New York, The Fog, Assault on Precinct 13, or Dark Star just to name a few.
Halloween defines together with the first installments of Friday the 13th (1980) and A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) the slasher genre - but there is, of course, also Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre to mention, which was four years earlier in 1974 released. All those movies are iconic on their own and (still) outstanding contributions to the horror genre.
Halloween: still a fine gem (together with its continuation Halloween II) - even if the gore level is rather low compared to new productions, but the violence somehow "feels" the more realistic.
