Best
An A+ Horror Film and the Definitive Slasher film. Definitely worth the watch!
There was no reason for anything in this movie. The killer had no backstory, motivations, or explanations. Dr. Loomis spends the entire movie chasing Michael around telling everyone how evil he was based entirely on one thing Michael did when he was six. He then spent fifteen additional years sitting silently staring at a wall. What basis did Loomis have for thinking that Michael was still dangerous to anyone? The people who were killed had no connection to the killer. He had no apparent reason to kill them. They didn't do a single thing to him.
