Horror > P Horror > Curtis, Jamie Lee

Advantages: Good scary moments, good storyline, great cast

On Halloween night in 1963, 6 year old Michael Myers murdered his sister Judith. After 15 years in an institution, Michael escapes and heads back to his home town of Haddonfield. He stalks Laurie Stode (Jamie Lee Curtis) and goes on a murdering rampage of her friends and neighbours. Only Dr Loomis (Donald Pleasence) knows the full extent of Michael's twisted mind, but will he convince the town's people in time. For me, this is the original and best ... Read review

Advantages: Its A Night In
Disadvantages: You May Fall Asleep

...this film. I am a halloween fan and I thought this was the worst of the series. Music was very poor, and the film seemed to drag on and all you wanted it to do is end. You may end up falling asleep as its that type of film Im not saying it was totally rubbish, but compared to other halloween films, this doesnt really float my boat, and I dont think it will float yours either. I have seen all the halloween films, and this was the final one for ... Read review

Advantages: excellent thriller, on tenterhoks continuously, unpredictable
Disadvantages: slightly old- fashioned

This movie is the greatest mind-thrilling thriller ever created!!!! Having been produced in 1978, the graphics are excellent in the way that they are very very convincing and tension building. The actor that plays the 'mental masked man' was absolutely superb in the way that he portrayed this part. Because of this, the movie set myself on tenterhooks as to what horrible, yet exicting this he would do next. The fact that he was also invincable in ...
...never actually died, added to the great effect of this spine -thrilling movie. The rating of 18 was absolutely correct for this viscious horror movie, as viewers get to witness numerous amounts of people get badly hurt by the mental killer, and also die harshly. Overall, this is a fabulous must-see horror, but of course, only if you are 18 or over!!!!! ... Read review

Advantages: An absolute classic of the horror genre!!!
Disadvantages: John Carpenter just makes crap films these days!!!

...here as the version of Halloween I own on DVD has been superseded by at least one more version since I bought it - so my DVD review would not reflect everything available out there on the market at the moment!!! Anyway... Here goes!!! -------------------------------------------------- Back in the Spring of 1978, John Carpenter filmed a horror movie in a remarkable 21 days and on a shoe-string budget that would change horror films forever... This ...
...Now Myers mask in the Halloween series is a pretty screwed up white, emotionless mask with a shock of brown hair which to be honest IS pretty bloody scary... BUT... Did you know that the mask that Myers wore in Halloween was actually a William Shatner 'Captain Kirk' mask which was bought by the production crew for the incredible cost of $1.98 as they didn't have the money to design and make a mask? They trimmed away Captain James Tiberius Kirk's ... Read review

Advantages: The John Carpenter original, and H20
Disadvantages: The Curse storyline

...the film takes place on Halloween 1978, 15 years after a 6 year old killed his sister. The madman has now escaped from the asylum, donned a creepy mask, and headed back to the town of the original horror. Jamie Lee Curtis is Laurie Strode, the resourceful teenager who is stalked over the course of Halloween night by the masked man. Donald Pleasance turns up as an eerie doctor who has to try and bring Myers in alive. The performances are above average ...
...a scene from the original Halloween that subtly plays on a screen in a bar. It wasn't long before Michael returned though. After spending 10 years in a coma, he is now waking up for Halloween. After all, he wont be happy til everybody in his family is dead. We still dont know why though. What we do find out here is that Laurie Strode died in a car crash, and has left a child who now lives with over protective foster parents. She knows nothing about ... Read review
