Halloween (1978)

After watching this film for the first time, the one that created the slasher genre and was supposedly one of the best horror classics, I got a sudden urge to drop dead of boredom. No explanation as to why Michael killed his sister (if you ignore the sequels), bland characters like these teens that I don´t feel any affection for and the nerve that some reviewers have by claiming that people who call this movie boring are stupid teens is just a joke, the fact is in 2018 this movie is not scary or effective in any way, the fact that they take so long to set up the deaths with scenes of Myers of just walking around looking at people behind bushes, following a kid in a car for no apparent reason and then people saying that these teens dying to a mysterious man in a mask is terryfing, maybe in some movies but not in this one, the deaths are laughable especially the one who gets choked in the car. To sum it up, maybe I´m not old enough to find this movie scary; I wasn´t a kid when I first saw this movie or maybe people just have their nostalgia filters turned up to the max while rewatching this movie more than 3 decades later.

Without a doubt, original Halloween was and still is one of the hallmarks of horror film. It set a certain standard that movies even to this day try to achieve.Perfect mix of a simple plot, not to long runtime, yet effective in all with a terrific villain.While you can nitpick any movie, this one included, but because of it's strenghts, you mostly don't want or need to. Yes, acting is a bit cheesy, but who cares. Yes, Loomis is a bit over the top whenever he speaks, but who cares. It just adds flavor to the whole mix mentioned above.One of the best descriptions of this movie and Michael Myers actually came from first Scream movie, where main villains simply explain why Michael Myers is so perfect as a villain. There's no "why", he just does what he does because he can and we are not given any explanation or a sob story about "why". And that's what makes it scary.Shot with a "visual purpose", a memorable haunting score and THE atmosphere that's been copied since, Halloween is one of the horror movie classics for the ages.

Halloween (1978) is truly the best horror film EVER to be made! I don't even know where to start on reviewing this film! Halloween is what started me on the horror genre. It was my very first horror film and very first R Rated movie. This is a solid flick with a great simple plot, amazing characters, amazing cast members, and phenomenal acting. Now some people out there say this movie is over-hyped and overrated, well sorry you don't know what a truly amazing horror film is. Not to mention I can't wait for the 2018 sequel to this movie! If you for some strange reason have not seen this absolutely flawless film, do yourself a huge favor and watch it! And if don't like this movie, then you seriously got screws loose in your head.

Halloween is probably my third favorite horror film. This film is almost flawless. I loved the music and the suspense in this film. Donald Pleasence is perfect as Loomis and Jamie Lee Curtis is great as Laurie. Michael is a menacing force in this film and is terrifying. But this film isn't completely perfect. Some of the dialogue is bad as well as some of the acting. In the end, this is an amazing film.
