This was a movie that made me love horror

Rating: 8/10 (17 December 2004)

I remember when I was a kid and I watched this movie. This movie used to creep me out. When I was 9, this was what scared me. Now that I am older, I still enjoy this movie every time I watch it. I may even like it even more now in some respects, but nothing compares to when you are young and a movie really scares you. What I love about John Carpenter movies isn't just his style, but the sound he puts to the movies. I'm not sure how much say he has in that, but I do know that music plays a large part in the psychology of his movies. This movie is great on a windy, winter night. With some hot chocolate, a big blanket and a comfortable pillow. It doesn't get any better than that.
