Just perfect...
I'll tell you why so serious
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Greatest Horror movie ever made.. My go-to movie and head and shoulders above other slasher films such as Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm street.
So I'm going to be marathoning the Halloween movies leading up to David Gordon Green's new incarnation coming out later this year. John Carpenter's original classic Halloween, still erupts with fright and terror even after all these years. Directed with mastery and suspenseful as hell, Halloween's story of supernatural character Michael Myers's reign of bloodshed is undoubtedly legendary. (Verdict: A)
This movie is an amazing classic horror for its time. Even if you don't like horrors this is one that's good to watch. Now with the new 2018 one coming out this year it is a direct sequel to the original. So if your looking at watching the new one I suggest watching the original one first.
Halloween is easily one of the most influential and recognizable horror movies ever made. Even people who are largely unfamiliar with horror genre will likely still be able to identify the horror cliches that Halloween started, much like Friday the 13th and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The iconic soundtrack and (unique for it's time) scene structure blend together to make a creepy and thrilling atmosphere that most movies can't pull off to this day. The story is may seem cliche now, but it's told supremely well, and adds a lot of suspense. I can't really criticize the predictability of the movie because for it's time, it was really unique. What I feel like I can criticize though is the second act of the movie. It just feels like filler, and nothing of consequence happens. I feel like it was there to add suspense, but being bored while watching a horror film isn't good. The acting is also kind of hit or miss, especially with the child actors, but I can look past that for the most part. Any fan of horror should see Halloween, even if it feels a bit dated by today's standards.
