9/10
This flick is one of my favorite movies ever blasted onto celluloid. Straight from the loins of John Carpenter and right into your face, you get the culmination of all things ‘slasher’. When young Michael kills his sister on Halloween, he waits fifteen years to come back and kill more babysitters. He meets his match when a babysitting, teenage Jamie Lee Curtis fights back while Michael’s former doctor, takes on the boogeyman.
Loved Dr. Loomis and his passion for dealing with the Shape. I cannot remove from my mind Donald Pleasance yelling “Six times!! I shot him six times!”—classic Loomis. Hated that it was filmed in Pasadena where the seasons never change and palm trees are still recognizable in the film. I also feel like this movie couldve been a lot more ‘autumn’-y to really hit that Carpenter Fall vibe (Halloween 4 takes the cake for this). Either way, this film is iconic and one of my all-time favorites.
