Halloween (1978)
This is the movie that started it all… the one and only original Halloween. It’s not a remake. It’s not a sequel but the movie that spawned this legendary series and introduced the masses to Jamie Lee Curtis.
Although Halloween was made in 1978 for only $300, 000, it’s scare factor definitely stands the test of time. There isn’t as much blood and gore when compared to today’s slasher films, but Halloween doesn’t need it. It relies on music, mood and camera work to truly scare the bejesus out of its audience. It takes its time to build characters and make them likable. You really care if Laurie Strode lives or dies. You’re rooting for her to win, even if secretly there’s a part of you that wants to see Michael win too.
Quick Review: If you haven’t seen this classic slasher movie, I don’t know what you’re waiting for. A must see example of slasher movie perfection!
