Halloween
3/10
it's a typical horror which didn't really excite me - it was boring. i didn't want to finish it and it was very predictable. wouldn't watch again ever.

Another overrated garbage. Call it a classic all you want, it will never change the fact that itโs terrible.
Thereโs a huge difference between calling a movie good because you watch it during a cozy time of the year or whatever, and it actually being good. Terrible acting from-

Even 40 years later, this proves to be a timeless classic. Carpenter shows his early greatness at executing a simple, yet frightening, concept with style and excellence. Michael Myers is an icon and it's all because of this original gem.

What can I say that hasnโt been said? This movie is a classic. It started a lot of tropes and molded the slasher genre into what it is today. I think everyone can take something from the original even if you donโt like horror. 8/10

7/10 Itโs a cult classic I grant and you have to watch it at least once but personally the plot was missing something that would have made it stand out.

Why did she stab him twice then drop the knife, sit down or walk away so casually

Definitely not up to date. Story and characters are good but not scary at all
