Halloween is a film I watch every October. Its not perfect but there's still plenty to appreciate. My biggest annoyances are that the acting overall is not very good, the pacing often drags, and nitpicky stuff like Myers looking at his stabbing hand in the opening shot and how its deceptively filmed at an adult's eye level, even though its actually a child. Despite the obvious budget limitations, you can tell a lot of care went into the crafting of this film. I love the cinematography, you can tell they had a lot of fun playing with the 2.35:1 aspect ratio in some scenes. Plus I appreciate the stoic, mature tone the movie mostly successfully employs, and makes the most of its minimal soundtrack which pretty much consists of 2 piano motifs.
