Halloween (1978)

The perfect movie for the holiday. An atmosphere of fear, memorable characters and an iconic composition performed by John Carpenter. It's definitely worth watching this piece for pizza with friends. The film is still not outdated and will find something to surprise!

Am I probably the only one who didn't like the movie? 😅
Not counting the music

boring shit

Music is all that is in this movie. The atmosphere of Halloween as a holiday is almost not used, and there are very few murders and they are made boring.
Michael Myers feels like a ridiculous weirdo and not pure evil. And the scene where the heroine manages to knock him out twice in a row but not finish him off is full of laughter.
I am very disappointed. I liked only the music and the opening scene. Otherwise, the movie is just boring.

Yes, it's a pretty boring movie.

I sincerely don't understand why this slasher is considered top. They talk a lot, kill a little, there is almost no blood at all. There is no comparison with the massacre of remakes at all! I put three solely because of the music

La which one😂

One of the horror hits of the 20th century 🔪
Halloween themed 🎃👍

Along with the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, one of the progenitors of the genre of youth horror films about maniacs.
Now many of these films will seem boring, not scary, but then they were shot in a completely different way and it was a novelty. If you don't like this version, you can try to look at the restarts of the 00s or 10s.

It's really a pity that Michael Myers didn't have some interesting backstory and character disclosure. With this, the film would look much more organic. I hope it will be in the next parts!

If we talk about the classics, Halloween is one of the most lackluster franchises. Not only is Michael just uninteresting in himself, but the murders are unintelligible, and the plot sags just incredibly. But if you look at it as a classic, then you can close your eyes to some shortcomings.

For me, this franchise is rubbish at the moment, although I was a fan of it when I was a kid. My top from the best to the worst parts.

Of all the slasher films from those years, "Halloween" and "A Nightmare on Elm Street" are probably my favorites. There's a great soundtrack, nice actors, the movie looks better and looks great even after so many years.

I'm always amazed that their doors are always open, anyone can come in. They're so fearless.

It used to be a really cool horror movie. In the late 70s, he scared people to goosebumps and actually set the slasher formula. But I was born much later than its release, so I didn't have time to catch the "time effect".

About 8 years ago, I tried to watch it for the first time — and then it seemed to me noticeably weaker than the same Scream. Too slow, too quiet, too easy.

I've reviewed it now, at a more conscious age. And I'll tell you what:
it's a cult classic... but godlessly outdated.

Yes, it's atmospheric. Yes, it is historically important. Yes, he really worked at the time.
But today it's frankly boring to watch it in some places. The pace is slow, the action is minimal, there are almost no scares — everything is based on the atmosphere.

But the ending is fire. There's a chill right there.
And, of course, Myers' music is a legend. Plus vintage cars and the autumnal vibe of the suburbs add charm.
As a result: the emotions are pleasant, as if I touched a museum exhibit of the genre.

If you want to understand how modern horror began, it's worth taking a look.
If you are waiting for the dynamics and the tin level of the 90s and beyond, you may be disappointed.

A classic? Yes. Are you scared today? Absolutely not, you can fall asleep from how ancient and slow everything is.

I watched this movie a few years ago, and it seemed boring to me.
