Horror > Curtis, Jamie Lee Horror > by Director (by last name)

Advantages: Terrifying, intelligent, masterful.
Disadvantages: None. Unless we consider the sequels. Or the remake. Which we won't.

Halloween is one of my favourite times of the year, mostly on account of a lifelong love of horror cinema. Each year, I'll go out of my way to amass a selection of films about me, some of which I'll have seen - for one must be sure of being scared somewhere along the line, and that certainty is not always there with new acquisitions - and some of which will be new to me. In this spirit, I'm going to be posting a series of reviews of pictures you ...
...First up, the ultimate Halloween picture - John Carpenter's 1978 Halloween. Halloween's plot, basically, boils down to this - Man escapes from mental hospital, picks up a blank, white face-mask (a William Shatner mask turned inside-out, as it happens), returns to the town where he was raised and sets about slaughtering various teenagers who, with their sex and their drinking and their carrying-on, remind him, one assumes, of his own sister, whom ...

Advantages: Good stoyline
Disadvantages: Slightly confusing at the beginning

...this film watch the first Halloween (also starring Jamie Lee Curtis) because it would fill in the gaps for you. I love horrors and this film did do something for me. It is amazing film scary, jumpy and i would reccommend it to people that are like me and cant find a horror that is actually scary. The only thing i would critize is that the begining is completely confusing espiecally if you have never seen the first one. ... Read review

Advantages: Jamie Lee Curtis...
Disadvantages: Acting, Story, Not Scary...

♥ iNTRODUCTIOn ♥ Halloween is one of the most loved and possibly the most famous horror series of all time. It all began with Halloween, directed by John Carpenter which was released in 1978, almost thirty years ago now. It was only intended to be a small film for drive-in movies but word of mouth spread and it went on to be released worldwide, making millions. It is still ranked as one of the greatest horror movies or just movies ...
...which are just laughable now, Halloween is still terrifying to people who have never seen it. It starred Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, a teenage babysitter who is for some reason being stalked by this masked maniac. It all comes to a soaring finale where Michael Myers (the masked maniac) is shot 6 times but still manages to get up and walk away... It was only a matter of time before a sequel was called for after the originals success and Halloween ... Read review

Advantages: Great horror
Disadvantages: none

...this movie was based on the novel of the same name written by the well known horror writer James Herbert. It is rightfully given an 18 certificate due to it gory and bloody scenes involving some horrific deaths. **BRIEF PLOT** The residents of Antonio Bay, a small fishing town in Northern California, are preparing to celebrate it's centennial when many mysterious events begin to happen. With many horrific murders occurring the town folk are understandably ...

Advantages: none really
Disadvantages: most of the film

...the original finished is where Halloween 2 starts off, Laurie Strode injured, Micheal Myers (I'll be calling him MM from now on) escaped even though he was badly injured & Dr Loomis still in pursuit. In case you'd forgotten the ending of Halloween there is a brief reprise here from when Laurie sends the 2 kids to call the police onwards. MM should have been caught as he was watching Loomis talk to the cop, there were a load of children walking down ...
...watching Loomis they would have reached where he was standing. I've debunked the film in the opening 10 minutes. The 2nd pretty HUGE goof is the guy they've got playing "The Shape" AKA MM, he is no-where near as big as the guy in the previous movie, he's too short and way too slim built to be Myers. If he's going to be lifting anyone up and throwing them around like the original it won't be believable at all. The story of the murders and the killers ... Read review
