I saw this movie because I was curious after reading all the good reviews I read about it: I think oh god, that must be a real cult movie! How is possible that i never heard about that carpenter's work before than now?? Oh god, I've got to see it! Immediately!!
And so it was.. I look at the movie..
well, I'm so sorry for that, really: I beloved one or 2 movies filmed by Carpenter and I generally speaking appreciate him very much, but this Hallowen, men.. this movie.. really, I can't understand why you voted it so high! I can't understand where is the scare I would feel.. I just voted it 3! I'm so sorry, if anyone cares.. Considering the entire 87 minutes of the movies, just 2 scenes are really good, both of the 2 with the Bob character present: the first one is the scene where he is killed by the Shade; the second best scene is when Bob (dead) come out from the wardrobe hanged up by his feet.. The rest is only suspense: well filmed, well shoot and well built; actors and actress are good and they know what to do and how to do it; but you know, all the 2 part of the movie is simple unreal! Is just unreal that a person being threatened at knife-point she leaves the knife near the killer who was struck with her (and maybe is dead but maybe not!); and that is repeated more than one and more than two times!! Would you do the same in such a situation? Absolutely not, I'm sure of that!! Still, is unreal that the doctor and the policeman don't hear the voice of Laurie crying and screaming as mad in the center of the street! Is unreal that doctor stays just near the hedge of Michael's home and he see the car stolen by the same Michael to drive back 'till home! God, the doctor turns right the head and he see the car.. just now? only now? finally now?? really???? mmmmm... And then, where he goes when he just discovered the car? He goes for a walk?, to buy cigarettes?, to drink a coffee? or what? Unreal, again, don't you think?
These kinds of situations are the ones which really make me thinking that a movie is not so good.. I'm sorry for that, I'm so sorry, I still believe that Carpenter did nice movies, but Halloween is absolutely not one of those!
IMHO.. :)
