THE EVIL IS OUT!

Rating: 10/10 (24 October 2002)

In 1978, John carpenter co-wrote and directed a film so terrifying, so eerie, and now, nearly 25 years later, it is one of the most classic films of all time. It is a horror movie, there is no doubt about that. Yet, it is so well-made, there is no pointless gore, and only $300,000 was spent on it!! Jamie Lee is splendid in her first film as the terrorized heroine Laurie Strode. Donald is wonderful as the doctor of the escaped Michael Myers. Nancy Loomis, PJ Soles, Charles Cyphers, and the rest of the cast provide good support. Carpenter's scary music and Dean Cundey's spooky, dark cinematography are also an added highlight to a film that should be owned by all film collectors. 10/10
