Review of Halloween (1978) by Josh Larsen for LarsenOnFilm — 05 Apr 1993
You know those countless slasher flicks in which a psychotic maniac slices his way through horny teenagers, only to be thwarted by the virginal heroine in the end? Halloween is the fountainhead. Despite countless imitators, however, few have been able to match the level of craft and psychological depth on display here.
Halloween is a landmark, and a legitimately enduring classic.
