Halloween (1978)
10/10
My favourite horror film. A true masterpiece by John Carpenter himself. Very atmospheric and creepy. Brilliant characters. Michael Myers at his best. His heavy breathing, his head-tilting, his strength and the way he stalks add to the creepiness and overall tone of the film. I love how Halloween manages to be scary in such a subtle way without relying too much on the gore and blood like you get in more recent horror films. For a film over 35 years old, it still holds strong.
Halloween 2 (1981)
9/10
After re-watching the franchise I've decided this is my favourite sequel (4 being a close 2nd). This one takes place where the first one left off on the same night as the first film. I love the hospital setting in this film. Very unique setting and makes a great hospital slasher film. Michael again creepy as always and there's some brilliant death scenes in this one. I also love this film because of the chase scenes between Michael and Laurie. The hospital one and the car park one
I love watching this one after watching the first one as I like to think of them both as one big movie.
