It’s a enjoyable movie, but not very scary. The beginning is fun, though not amazing it good. The middle is very slow, not scary, or very great. It just follows the characters around and not much happens. The ending has a lot of action butIt’s a enjoyable movie, but not very scary. The beginning is fun, though not amazing it good. The middle is very slow, not scary, or very great. It just follows the characters around and not much happens. The ending has a lot of action but isn’t very scary, except maybe one creepy scene, at least in my opinion. The ending wasn’t great either, I recommend watching it, but it’s not that scary or exciting overall.… Expand

It's actually not that gory or violent and it takes over an hour to get to anything remotely interesting but I can see some guilty pleasure value and why others may enjoy it; not to mention it was revolutionary for the horror genre.

Nothing special about this movie, very dull - all the action is packed into a 20 minute block. The worst thing is it wasn't even scary - very disappointed.

Halloween was not the best in the series, because first of all, there was no blood. Which made the movie really suck, A horror slasher film needs to have blood.

Creepy, but not scary enough to not make you sleep at night. Maybe it is because of the lack of violence which is the complete contrast of what we see today. Yet the way Michael pursues his victims and the chilling background score make the Creepy, but not scary enough to not make you sleep at night.

An average horror film that should be viewed more as a masterclass in making a serviceable film on a nonexistent budget than a study in crafting a good story. Halloween is often miscredited as the film that invented the slasher craze.An average horror film that should be viewed more as a masterclass in making a serviceable film on a nonexistent budget than a study in crafting a good story. Halloween is often miscredited as the film that invented the slasher craze. Instead, Halloween succeeded in reaching a wider audience and larger market while borrowing generously from the far superior Black Christmas.… Expand

Классика. Отец-породитель ужастиков с маньяками, который пиздецки смешно сделан, чего только стоит сцена Майкла в комнате у сестры. Жанр на любителя, мне зашло :)Классика.
