“halloween” directed by john carpenter is a classic,ive seen it countless times & it never fails to impress.but now anchor bay have remastered this
classic on r1 ntsc & its an impressive transfer with a great sound remix.
this film earned jamie lee curtis the “scream queen ” title as laurie strode.donald pleasance plays the haunted dr sam loomis ,blaming himself for maniac michael myers escape from the local looney bin. its groundbreaking stuff ,its amazing that carpenter wrote,directed & composed
the music! & yes its THAT music which keeps you on edge throughout.halloween has deservedly gained cult status & spawned many sequels,now rob zombie has remade this but it aint a patch on this original. every horror fan should own this!
Rating: 5 / 5
This film is the founding father of the new modern generation of horror films. No poetry, no mysticism, no ideology, in one word postmodern to the core. The only objective is both to horrify and to terrify the audience and nothing else. John Carpenter uses the technology at his disposal in each film to create the atmosphere and to bring up the elements that are going to do what he wants to do : make the audience shake in convulsions of fear. In this early film he uses the new steadycam to make long travelling sequences that can be more natural because the camera is carried by a person walking the way it is supposed to travel. We then really have the impression of looking at the scene through the eyes of a living person. We are then inside the characters and their fear, whereas the criminal is a lot more steady, immobile, even still. Then the theme is supposed to bring up all our deep dark fears : a child of six kills his own sister who has just had sex, hence sex as the disrupting element that makes people crazy, insanity as the utmost strangeness that turns someone into something that is no longer human, a little touch of satanic evil, knives and Halloween of course. And it works particularly well when we can see the face of this criminal who is wearing a mask, a mask that is expressionless and absolutely colourless. We have it all and we know we would be frightened ****less if we had to meet him in the dark around some lonely street corner.

This film is ok and nothing more! Its not scary and Not gory. Infact I dont remember seeing one bit of blood! Yes the story is pretty classic but its so boring and dull, as soon as it starts to get good, it ends. Maybe this was scary when it was first realised but I really dont understand how anyone could find this even slightly scary now! If you havnt seen this film, dont bother with it thats all i can say.

I have watched many horror movies and thought i was quite a horror fanatic.Although when i watched this film i was blown away.Just the thought of been a baby sitter on halloween and “the boogeyman” stalking me was very scary.i havent been scared like that since!i thought that freddy krueger was the most coolest killer ever but micheal has now took his place!I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!
