One of my all time favorite horror films.
The creepy concept of the man in the shadows lurking after young folks. It has nice cinematography and Michael Myers is scarier than Freddy or Jason because he is the most real out of the three. There could definitely be a Myers outside your window. . . what's stopping you from looking? Fear. . . that's what. But the thing with those other films that this one lacks is that Freddy or Jason are rather intriguing, at least in my opinion, whereas Michael hasn't really won me over yet. But, it's still a cool first movie and with a film with this much clout. . . I'll take it. So yeah. 3½ skulls.
Probably the single most iconic and best slasher movie to date. Paved the way for the genre.
Awesome movie
Such a great classic!
