Halloween

AroView: John Carpenter’s pioneering slasher film (though owing a debt to Bob Clark’s “Black Christmas”) is distinguished by direction that gives a constant sense of impending doom, yet provides constant surprises - more so than the countless imitations, remakes and sequels it inspired.

A 19-year-old Jamie Lee Curtis stars in her feature film debut alongside seasoned pro and horror icon Donald Pleasence, while also iconic are the masked psycho-killer character, Michael Myers, and the chilling synth soundtrack by the director himself.

“★★★★★ Laugh while you can at the B-grade script and acting, because the masterful camerawork, taut editing, and eerie music will eventually have you in a firm suspense-stranglehold despite yourself. One of the quintessential popcorn fright-flicks.” ~fairbrother (AroVideo user review)
