Director John Carpenter
Writers John Carpenter - Debra Hill
Cast
Trancas International Films, Running Time 91 Minutes.
The story of Halloween 1978 is about Micheal Myers. Micheal Myers killed his sister when he was just 6 years old. Since then, he was held in an insane asylum for 15 years until he escaped. After escaping, Myers begins to stalk a girl and her friends before going on a killing spree. He is a man without remorse or regret. Simply put, he is pure evil.
Halloween 1978 is an excellent example of how to make a horror movie on a small budget, a simple but well-told story, and a simple but very effective score. The film's pace is flawless, and the cast is excellent, with excellent dialogue. In addition, unlike many other slasher films, the killings are realistic and believable.
Halloween 1978 was the first of the modern-day slasher-type horror films, with many sequels and remakes in 2007 and 2009. Unfortunately, none of them matched up to the original.
Slasher films are not my favorite type of scary movie. I usually find them quite irritating because of all the victims' stupid decisions, which ruin my enjoyment. On the other hand, the original Halloween is one of the rare exceptions.
Halloween 1978 Review:
In the movie Halloween 1978, after his sister has fast intercourse with her lover, Michael Myers, an eight-year-old kid, kills her. Michael becomes a powerful six-foot-tall murdering machine after being institutionalized.
Loomis (Donald Pleasence), Michael's doctor, identifies Michael as "pure evil" who should never be released. Although the movie mentions it, Michael eludes arrest by taking a vehicle at the film's start. How he can drive is never addressed.
He then chases a group of adolescent females he has been spying on around his old house and kills them and their partners.
The lack of a method to Michael Myers' craziness is part of what makes him so horrifying, and it's something that many of the Halloween sequels do wrong.
Laurie Strode has caught his interest, not because she is his long-lost sibling, which would explain his previous victims in the first place.
Michael Meyers is an intriguing person who has terrified his psychologist into believing he must be put down like a rabid animal due to no identified pathology.
We can't enter the depth of his soul. Thus, his quiet is purposeful. As a result, Michael is a fascinating character rather than a one-dimensional one, making him one of the all-time great slashers.
Halloween 1978 also makes an excellent decision in giving us adequate time to get to know Annie, Laurie, Lynda, and the other characters.
Unlike imitators' bland characters, the film allows Michael's victims to develop, especially in subsequent Halloween sequels.
It's also not sure who will live and who will die right away. So while new viewers may believe that Jaime Lee Curtis will be the sole survivor, they would be mistaken, and it is part of the enjoyment of the film.
Except for the occasional palm tree in the backdrop, Haddonfield, Illinois, has a natural feel.
There's a small town in Halloween 1978 with a vibe that's not too corny to be stupid, yet not too antiquated to be unauthentic. Michael Meyers' depravity is unknown in the neighborhood, although practically all adolescents are desperate to get out.
Despite his frantic desire to safeguard the town and his daughter, Annie, in particular, Sheriff Brackett is entirely out of his depth.
John Carpenter is a genius at building suspense, and his use of his ultra-simple Halloween piano motif alone is enough to carry the film.
When those few bars begin to play, the audience's terror level skyrockets. Michael Meyers' automobile is frequently seen in the background of photos, indicating that he has already started stalking our defenseless teenagers.
The fact that genuine children are at risk adds to the strain. However, Laurie's sympathy for the innocent is enough to make her a survivor, as Michael is a monster who will not spare the innocent.
Hope you enjoyed my review of Halloween 1978.
