a of this write john carpenter halloween be near it 30th anniversary . it have since spawn 7 sequel and a remake and a whole mess of imitation and every year around halloween when they do those top 10 scary movie list it always on there . that quite amaze for a film that be make on a budget of around $ 300 and 000 and feature a then almost completely unknown cast of up and come young talent . i could go on and on and but the big question here be represent how do the film hold up today . and all i can say to that be and fantastically . pro represent a simple and but spooky opening credit sequence that really set the mood . an unforgettable and goosebump induce score by director or co writer john carpenter and alan howarth . great cinematography . stellar direction by carpenter who keep the suspense high and get some great shot and and be careful not to show too much of his villain . good performance from the then mostly unknown cast . a good sense of humor . michael myers be one scary and evil guy . a lot of eerie moment that will stay with you . the pace be slow and but steady and never drag . unlike most other slasher film and this one be more about suspense and terror than blood and a big body count . con represent probably not nearly a scary now a it be then . many of the goof really stand out . final thought represent i want to start out this section by say this be not my favorite film in the series . i know that not a popular opinion and but it really how i feel . despite that it truly be an important film that keep reach new generation of film buff . and just because it be remake for a new generation doesn not mean it will be forget . no way and no how . my rating represent 5/5 .
