i have not watched many john carpenter movies but he is fast becoming one of my favorite director, all the hype around it was real and now i want to watch halloween as soon as possible. im not a huge fan of cgi esp. bec of the excessive use these days, this movie proves even to this day that practical effects done right can be as effective if not more. the remarkable suspense and atmosphere added with thrilling paranoia and claustrophobia made it a treat. most of the cast were incredible and the scores made it an absolute gem. 8.5/10 read more
