It's nearly October, might as well just have this on loop from now until the start of November!
dr loomis is the best
Just a classic no-nonsense straight forward atmospheric slasher that doesn't rely on cheap scares, special effects, or exploitation to get its point across while remaining ambiguous and eerie.
If you actually need the recommendation you are probably not on the right streaming service.
People say it's overhyped, but in the late 70s, this came out of nowhere, a low budget indie film made by a bunch of people you'd never heard of, with the help of an old Bond villain from 15 years earlier.
