Halloween (1978) - 5 stars out of 10

Halloween (1978) - 5 stars out of 10

I guess that I was a bit let down by "Halloween," since it is often applauded as one of the best horror movies.  I had high expectations so I was disappointed by the slow pace for the first 75 minutes and lack of graphic violence.  The final 20 minutes were really intense and Jamie Lee Curtis has an incredible scream.  However, for me it was not worth sitting through the rest of the movie for this short amount of intensity.  See it because it's a classic, but don't expect to see the pure terror that we've become accustomed to with modern horror movies.
