Halloween

A remarkable film that towers over the endless clones that followed.

Halloween remains about as distilled, raw an experience in terror as is ever likely to be committed to celluloid.

From the first shot to the last, this movie is confidently guided by a specific and committed vision.

Halloween is an absolutely merciless thriller, a movie so violent and scary that, yes, I would compare it to “Psycho.”

Carpenter displays an almost perfect understanding of the mechanics of classical suspense; his style draws equally (and intelligently) from both Howard Hawks and Alfred Hitchcock.

There's nary a drop of blood on screen in this rollicking funhouse of a movie but there is enough sheer cinematic ingenuity on display to coax screams out of the most jaded gorehound.

Halloween is a stab at a derivative minor classic. It's apparent where Carpenter got his horror devices - and a minor misfortune that he hasn't been able to synthesize them in a fresh or exciting way.

It’s a enjoyable movie, but not very scary. The beginning is fun, though not amazing it good. The middle is very slow, not scary, or very great. It just follows the characters around and not much happens. The ending has a lot of action but isn’t very scary, except maybe one creepy scene, at least in my opinion. The ending wasn’t great either, I recommend watching it, but it’s not that scary or exciting overall.

Halloween was not the best in the series, because first of all, there was no blood. Which made the movie really ****, A horror slasher film needs to have blood.

these early horror movies are just boring

Terrible acting and non-existent gore. ------------------------------------
