Slasher goes Mainstream!

Rating: 9/10 (27 August 2003)

All out my favorite slasher movie of all time. I've seen it too many times to count.
Halloween delivers as the first major slasher (Michael Myers) hits Haddonfield, IL like an A Bomb.
John Carpenter's score, story and innovative direction (along with camera work)leaves the audience glued to screen. Donald Pleasance gives a command performance as Dr. Sam Loomis and Jamie Lee Curtis hits the mark as the tortured baby sitter Laurie Strode. There really isn't a weakness in this great horror movie.
Bottom Line: 9/10.
