The best slasher ever made and one of the best horror films generally.

Rating: 10/10 (11 June 2017)

A few words about John Carpenter's masterpiece...this is the best slasher ever made, and one of the best horror films generally, for a queue of reasons such as: Brilliant direction and cinematography like for example the surprising opening subjective one-shot or the way the depth of field is used. Much more complex than average slashers writing. In Halloween, the serial killer is not just a deranged person who kills. He is a true embodiment of pure evil, an entity that simply refuses to die. Moreover, Carpenter underlines the almost disturbing calm of the suburbs. Even if there is a matter of life and death, the neighbors will remain indifferent.They will simply close the grille. The classic, masterful, ominous synths, an organic part of Halloween's creepy atmosphere. 10/10
