Rating: 1/10 (21 April 2007)

Perhaps one of the most overrated so-called horror classics ever made, Halloween does feature the memorable Michael Myers and some great acting by Jamie Lee Curtis.
However, its rewatchability factor is very close to zero, as there is an unforgivable amount of time spent on dullness/culmination to the actual events.
This is the sort of movie you can walk away from to microwave popcorn and not miss anything at all.
How it spawned so many sequels, I will never comprehend.
Thank God Rob Zombie is remaking this. And generally, I hate remakes.
Surely he will more than compensate for all the random time-filling gaps with some quirky points of interest that the original severely lacks.
This is a movie we feel we have to like, much like the way we're taught that we SHOULD enjoy Dickens.
Don't assume this is a classic.
