The journey into the depth and purity of consciousness.

Rating: Null/10 (10 January 2020)

The film can be very scary during and after the viewing experience. It is hard to listen to the score without an inkling to turn it off or go away, it is a terrifying experience on a purely vibrational level poenetrating our psyche, and that is what it can make it a dangerous film if we're not protected or grounded enough. The same like most Carpenter's scary films, one can not watch them often, that's how powerful this is.
Halloween contains an energy that helps us to jump straight into a more theta wave of brain activity, the realm of subconscious and that is the most attractive to a lot of viewers, who wish to abandon all the intellect and mind chatter inside for once, who consciously may not be aware of this happening subconsciously to them. It has very little to do with fear on screen, it is more the fear of unknown that we felt when we were little. The film is made almost as if we were inside Michael Myer's brain, we feel what it is like to be in some way mentally inhibited the same like many autistic children are often, it is a very innocent type of a vision through which Myers sees the world or we are guided to see the film.
John Carpenter has made the film called The Ward much later in life, that is to me a truer sequel to Halloween, showing me how the sequels could really be, completely unrelated except for theme, energy or atmosphere, which is where deep down it really matters more than the plot or characters. The Ward examines the Myers' world, on a much deeper level, as to what it feels like, the inability to escape from one's mind directed by a set of programs stemming from the childhood. That film does that more than any other Halloween sequel, that may be aimed largely for the public unable to face the change, who may be driven to be experiencing more of the same, even though desiring a change, perhaps sharing Myers' mind to some extent.
One doesn't have to say whether it is a great film or not, all films are great, if your senses are great enough.
