Low Budget Film that becomes an instant classic!

Rating: 8/10 (8 November 2017)

I was excited to see this in theatre just because scary movies are always much more effective in a dark room with surround sound and a huge screen. Immediately I could appreciate the camera-work and also the perfect 70s sound effects, I was already jumpy knowing nothing good ever follows those sounds. However, this was a different kind of scary. I really liked how the children could see Michael Myers and referred to him as the boogeyman. He was right there stalking his victims and they were all stupid and had no idea. When the dog was killed I knew he was not messing around. The classic scene in which he is covered in a white sheet, the girl thinks it her lover as he slowly walks towards her. This was a great clever use of a prop a simple bed sheet. It amplified the story and made the viewer on edge. Michael Meyers was killing people left and right and I think it was cleverly done without any special effects or camera angles. It was a great classic thriller that I enjoyed especially since it was close to Halloween!
