It ain't over till it's over

Rating: 8/10 (18 February 2015)

When I get to read critics about current horror films, people usually mention something involving the classic "Halloween". For this reason, this movie has always caught my interest, and last week I finally watched it. One thing that remarked me was the anticonventional directing; John Carpenter proves to have an unique way of filmmaking, and that really impressed me, along with the visible care he has taken while doing it. The plot varies from being slow to quick, so it feels hard to say if it takes long to become interesting; either way, I felt entertained for most of the time. By the way, whilst things were going on, I could easily notice how inspired, in this film, "Scream" was. Sometimes I thought it was just a "Scream" version without the press intervention. The soundtrack is very 70's and it feels nice to see a movie made in a decade when false scares weren't used in horror projects. That being said, in resume, I admit that "Halloween" is an indeed classic that deserves all the recognition it (still) has!
