The #5 Definitive Horror Film (Spoiler?)

Rating: 10/10 (19 August 2002)

I believe that all movies that have spawned at least one theatrically released sequel should be watched. Most of them turn out to be fairly enjoyable (ex. The Exorcist, Men In Black, Airplane) I believe the best example of this theory lies in a low budget film named Halloween. I first saw the beginning of this movie when it came on the USA Network. I didn't think anything of it and turned the channel. (I had never seen the movie before, so I didn't even know I was watching it.) Later on, I rented it from the video store and watched it all the way through, twice. I loved this movie, it was everything a slasher film should and probably ever will be. The story revolves around a young boy named Michael Myers who kills his sister and is put in an institution, he escapes and begins to kill babysitters while trying to track down a girl named Laurie Strode. I recommend watching the Extended Version with scenes added in from television. This version goes into a little more detail than the original film in why Michael is going after Laurie.
