A simple but near enough perfect suspense chiller, this film has lasted much longer in the memory than any of its imitators. This low-budget classic is no stepping-stone-to-bigger-things, this is a horror film made by someone with a great deal of love for the genre.
The film works through sheer atmosphere, from the opening chilling sequence, to the slow-building tension, seemingly mundane scenes with the girls chatting turning into Hitchcockian suspense scenes with none of them noticing the silent harbinger of doom always hovering in the background, to a great climax, a great tour de force of 70s terror cinema. All of this is of course aided by a fantastic score from John Carpenter, which has easily become as iconic as both the movie, and its masked villain Michael Myers.
John Carpenter's Halloween is, in my opinion, one of the greatest suspense films ever made. I call it a suspense film, because I do not consider Halloween a 'horror' film. My idea of horror films are The Exorcist and The Evil Dead. I think The Exorcist is the greatest horror film ever made. Carpenter's Halloween does not generate as much horror as it does suspense. In particular, the shot of Jamie Lee Curties frantically trying to open her front door as Michael Myers crosses the street in the background. I consider Halloween an updated version of Hitchcock's Psycho, just as I consider Scream an updated version of Halloween. In both cases, the earlier film is better. Both films feature memorable scores that contribute heavily to the mood and suspense of the film. Halloween is definitely worth viewing over and over. But do make an effort to get the film in widescreen. Pan&Scan does not do justice to Carpenter's wonderful cinematography. I give Halloween a 10 out of 10.
