Halloween (1978) Review:
One of the greatest “classic of horror”. This movie is THE reference title that initiated the later-to-come slasher movies frenzy – something that is still of actuality nowadays.
The question with these classics is always the same – is the movie still entertaining for modern viewers if the historic point of view put aside. For this one, the answer is a no-brainer – yes. Despite the absence of any gore, the movie succeeds at building a tension rarely equaled and the 90 minutes of the movie are truly scary, mainly thanks to the atmosphere.
Michael Myers has not become the holy horror figure that it is nowadays without reason, its slow pace and immaculate mask are truly terrific, and the fact that he always seems to comes out the darkest corners is even more frightening. The soundtrack and audio effects are also superb, adding a lot to the atmosphere. The only thing that one could regret is the absence of a more elaborate plot and the repetitively of the kills.
Halloween Blue-Ray Review
It seems like it would be an exercise in redundancy to recap the plot synopsis of John Carpenter’s seminal 1978 film Halloween. The film has been theatrically released, aired on cable and network television, and released in virtually every home video format in existence at one time or another.
Its latest incarnation is in the form of a Blu-ray disc which contains a brand-new commentary featuring both John Carpenter and Jamie Lee Curtis as they watched the film together. This different from the original commentary which consisted of a feature-length discussion culled separate comments. From John Carpenter, Jamie Lee Curtis, and the late Debra Hill. This appeared on both the Criterion Collection laserdisc in 1994 and the Anchor Bay DVD in 2003.
This new Blu-ray features a stunning transfer supervised by cinematographer Dean Cundey and the film has never looked better television and radio spots the theatrical trailer the additional twelve minutes of footage shot for the television airings in both 1981 and 1982.
On Location: 25 Years Later featurette; and a new featurette cleverly called The Night She Came Home which runs nearly an hour and features a camera crew following Jamie Lee Curtis from Los Angeles to a Horror Hound Weekend convention in Indianapolis, Indiana, the one and only convention that she has done for this film.
Unless you were actually at that show, you may not have the patience to sit through the featurette in its entirety. However, these one-hour highlights give the viewer who may not have ever attended a horror film. Convention before an idea of what goes on, the type of people who frequent this sort of thing, and how genuinely nice Jamie Lee Curtis towards her fans.
It also includes an 18-page essay with black and white on-set photos by photographer Kim Gottlieb-Walker depicting the shooting of the film.
