Halloween: 9/10

This really is such a brilliant movie and has definitely stood the test of time. It doesn't feel dated and it's influence on the horror genre is still being felt. I like that it places more emphasis on atmosphere (of which there is tons) and less on gore which so many horrors (and slashers in particular) rely on. The whole movie just has a really chilling, nightmarish quality to it.

The music is also brilliant so it's no surprise than the theme has become iconic for Halloween time. It really gets you in the mood as soon as the movie starts.

Michael is genuinely scary. It's a shame that the series eventually started to spiral out of control and turned him into a generic mindless immortal killing machine but that doesn't change how effective he is in this installment. His silent stalking of his victims really reflects the "less is more" approach the movie takes and does so well.

Final Ranking:
1. Trick 'r Treat (10/10)
2. Halloween (9/10)
3. You're Next (8.5/10)
4. Carrie (8/10)
5. Jeepers Creepers (8/10)
6. The Shining (8/10)
7. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (7/10)
8. The Hills Have Eyes (7/10)
9. Cherry Falls (6/10)

Sorry I got so busy with ICB and work

[Cal.]

No worries!

It's only meant to be a bit of fun not something that's inconvenient so I don't mind if people haven't taken part. It is a big commitment.

[Cal.]

But I can't thank the people who have saw it through enough

[Will.]

I deeply apologise Cal for not being very active during this, I'm so sorry!

You've done a fantastic job with it and your commitment to it is admiring.

I promise next year that I will take part properly and watch EVERY film.

[Will.]

I'll get my reviews up for the final 4 films ASAP.

Trick R Treat (2007)

8/10

The movie was enjoyable and the mask creeps me out of lot! I love the idea of a film about the tradition of Halloween.

You're Next (2011)

10/10

This is one of my favourite recent horror films, found it so gripping and it had me hooked till the end. I love the whole concept of the film and home invasion films are one of favourites. Erin was such a likeable character and her bravery was very admirable. Overall a fantastic, gory film!

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)

6/10

Definitely not one of favourites but it was okay to sum it up, it's a decent watch if you're bored and really want something to watch. It was enjoyable but I didn't find the characters that good, it's a bit hit and miss for me. It was quite suspenseful and had me on the edge of my seat.

Sunday 30th October- Halloween (1978)

9/10

Fantastic film! Very well made and probably one of the best horror films of all, I'm starting to really like the 80s horror, I've mainly watched 90s and modern ones. overall absolutely loved it! The sound track was very suspenseful and I loved Jamie Lee Curtis!

You are most welcome lovely.

Sorry my reviews are short, I struggle to write a lot!

[Jamie89]

Would it be possible to extend the deadline to after this weekend? I still need to watch You're Next and TCM (and review Halloween) and I'll have chance tomorrow/Sunday if that's ok?

[Cal.]

Deadline is November 25th.

[Jamie89]

An extra month of Halloween (as it should be) Thanks Cal
