A rush of adrenaline through the human veins

Rating: 8/10 (27 February 2002)

What can I say about the movie. I first saw it when I was only about five years old, with my uncle his father's remote farm. Let me tell you, seeing that movie at that age alone with my uncle in the dark, scared every bone in my body. To this day, I still only get nightmares, with Michael Meyers in it. I'M 22 YEARS OLD!!!! Lets start with the plot, it never to my mind was ever a gory, or slasher movie, I barely saw any bloody scenes in it. I think this movie was a more of a thiller than a horror movie. Wow, John Carpenter really out did himself, he directed, wrote, produced, and wrote that amazing oringinal score. Back to the plot, this movie to me was the best scary movie to have a legit story to it. But it dosn't mean you have to make six sequals to the masterful oringinal. The cast wasn't great in exception to Donald Pleasance, who should of been nominated with some award with that awsome performance. I think cast, instead of being individually powerful, the cast really blended well together. This isn't my favorite movie, but my favorite scary, and definately in my top ten.
