Halloween Reviews

Classic? Yeh, right.

Put this on one evening with the lads, exprecting to see a film that lived up to all the hype and its title as a classic. Let me put it in simple terms: it's rubbish. So I recommend you rent something else.

Still as good

Halloween is as good a shocker now as it was when I first saw it. Carpenters fantastically eerie score brings out the haunting moments! Some films age badly, but Halloween has gone from strength to strength!

Unlike it co-partner in horror (Friday the 13th) it has aged great, the shocks are still as shocking as they always where, the plot and characters are believable and well thought out.

If you like horror, you will love Halloween. Don't like horror? Give it a try you might be surprised!

The original Scary Movie

Probably the most scariest stalk and slash film ever to be made. It's techniques on scare tactics are still being replicated today, but with half the effect.

After killing his sister 15 years ago at the age of 6, Michael Myers escapes from his mental inststitution and returns home to create more havoc.

Everybit of this film is perfect, if you can ignore the cliches so observable today in horror films. The acting is fabulous because of terrific characterizations created by Debra Hill and John Carpenter. Cinematography is chilling especially in dark shots where you can see the white mask in the background.

This film is so good because it takes it's time to properly get going. By doing this the film allows you get to know the characters, feel for them and sense real dread for them.

25 years on, Halloween is still as scary as it ever was and will always be. This is a trait of a classic horror film.

Well wat can i say, this is possibly the best horror film I have ever seen. Where as in your usal horror slasher film there's no story line but chopping teenagers up, this has a very well thought of and creative storyline.

This was John Capenters first horror film which but him on the map, to other greats like the vampire, and the fog.

This film is about a psycopathic killer who escapes from years of solitary confinment at smiths grove sanitaryium. He escapes and goes home to find his long lost sister Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) but little does Michael know Dr.Loomis (Donald Pleasance) is on his trial. I must say my favorite bit must be when michael springs up and plunges the kitchen knife into Lauries arm throwing her over the banister and down the stairs!

Well worth the watch and the 2nd disc has AMAZING bonus features!

Best John Carpenter Ever!!!

Absoulute Classic

Hallowen is without a doubt one of the best horror movies ever made. The main thing that makes this a classic horror is the music. A absolute gem of a horror movie

Halloween (The Original)

Watched the remake at the cinema a while ago so watching the original did nothing for me. The remake is 10 times better obviously with the technology they have now, but the storyline goes into a lot more detail which was one of the things that got me with the original. In the new one it goes into detail of Michaels time in the psychiatric home but also it tells you that lorrie is his sister, where as in the original it doesn't. The original was ok, creepy but not one to watch if you already watched the remake.

A Classic

John Carpenters Classic horror film halloween is superb. Still as fresh today as it was in 1978. Only thing that seems to have dated in the film is the fashion. Granted it's a slow burner the suspense really gets you going. It still sends shivers down my spine.

Darkly shot and brooding camera work and probably the best ever horror soundtrack. Well worth renting again and again.

Excellent Horror At It's Best

Full of suspense, blood and horror. I remember watching this when I was younger - strangely on Halloween - and it was the one that made jump and flinch the most that afterwards everything else just seemed tame and nothing shocked me. If you want to watch a great horror movie or make the missus jump on your lap ;o) this will be worth the watch everytime.
