Best horror movie of all time

Rating: 10/10 (14 March 2012)

For me this is the best horror movie I have ever seen and judging by current standards its the best I am likely to see for a while. This simple low budget slasher film was an industry defining moment for John Carpenter and Debra Hill. Having a little known cast apart from Donald Pleasance and on a small budget that most sports stars wages these days it delivered on everything for me. The title character of The Shape (Michael Myers) is one of the best known movie villains today and the original has spawned up to now 9 sequels. If you want to watch an actual horror film and not just big breasted teenagers on facebook and ipods then you must watch this film it defined a genre and forever will be a classic
