Review #068: Halloween.
Cast
Jamie Lee Curtis (Laurie Strode) and Donald Pleasence (Dr. Sam Loomis) (With Nick Castle as "The Shape") Directed by John Carpenter (The Thing, They Live and Escape from New York)
Review
It is fitting that AMC shows Halloween (Apparently they won't show Halloween II, for some dumb reason) at midnight's time, in the darkness. Anyway, this film is truly scary. This film is a bit like The Exorcist in which the film has a beginning with slight scares and the ending having scares, except Halloween actually frightens you a bit in the beginning. The film has good acting from Donald Pleasance and Jamie Lee Curtis (Who is daughter to Janet Leigh, who starred in Psycho) The film does have some choppy dialogue, but the film still scares and entertains you. It does the scares slowly but steady, building up to a conclusion that mystifies you.
Overall, I give it 8 out of 10 stars.
