Halloween

Hello, Mr. Larsen.

Unlike these other close-minded fans, I would like to actually criticize your review. I read it, and can see why you would dislike it. What it seems you fail to realize is the fact that this movie focused more on lighting and suspense instead of violent deaths, like you called them "comic". What you need to realize is the influence this movie had, the use of fear rather than violence, and several more positives this movie has. It may be different from a lot of earlier slasher films, but that is what made it so great. I'm not sounding really convincing right now, but you have to realize all that this movie did for today's horror films, and despite the fact that it may seem a little bit cheesy today, for its time, and now, it is a masterpiece of cinema.

I think hes mentiong the scene when laurie dashes back to the kids in the house shes babysitting. Yes He does stab the couch a foot away from her. But if you paid any attention to the film you would realize that Micheal Myers is simply trying to mess with her phiscally and mentally Hint: Stabbing her arm. Walking slowly after her. Slowly breaking down a closet...

Although scary for its time, by today's standards of violence it is rather tame.

This critic just seems to have an overwhelming hatred of almost all movies, which is why I am confused as to his status as a critic. I paged through about 200 of his reviews, I only found 3 instances where he liked a movie which was rotten, but 50+ movies where he didn't like a movie that was certified fresh. Obviously he gets off on hating movies that other people enjoy. Almost all of his opening lines can be characterized by him taking a single scene from a movie and hating the entire flick because of some kind of plot hole he thinks he just unearthed.
