Halloween

[Rambler]

This is my all time favorite horror movie. I saw it in theatres this past halloween. Truly amazing. So simple. No gore. Nothing like the horror movies of today. That movie did SO MUCH with so little. A true classic.

Yeah, nicely put.

It's a classic alright. The way Carpenter lets Myers unfold unnervingly, & puts in that feeling of something inexplicable / supernatural is pretty genius stuff. I've always loved Jamie Lee Curtis as an actress too, & she was awesome in this film. The perfect blend of innocent / naive & strong heroine.

I just love that era - period. The 70s have always been my fave decade, but wow - what a decade for some memorable films!!

This is what makes it scary to me. I'm beginning to loathe the "shock-horror" movies that we keep getting. The original Saw was great because it was the first, and I don't recall seeing anything like it until then. Now, it seems everything has to take gore and screams to the absolute extreme.

Halloween is not only my favorite horror movie, it is my 5th favorite movie of all time. Carpenter's score was brilliant and really is a just as much a characters a Michael Myers. I can stand RZ's remake of the first movie but I hated how he tried to humanize Michael by turning him into you stereotypical sociopathic child from a broken home and the rape scene in the unrated version was just there for cheap shock value.

I love the first Saw. It felt more along the lines of Se7en and not a straight up horror movie. It wasn't till Saw 2 that it really became "torture porn".

The original Saw was epic! I could live without the numerous sequels!

I did enjoy Saw 2 until they made the one chick his apprentice at the end. Saw 3 was cool and I think it really should have ended there. Didn't care for Saw 4 and I haven't even bothered with 5 and 6. I did see the last one and didn't care for it either. Jigsaw honestly has more apprentices than The Emperor.

Halloween is one of my all-time favorite films. I've watched it countless times, but it never gets old. Michael Myers will always be the ultimate boogeyman, IMO.
