Customer Reviews of Halloween: Restored Limited Edition

Halloween is one of the best horror movies of all time.It's definitely on my top 5! It's incredibly scary and entertaining and a seriously awesome flick.The story kicks major a$$.The plot is brilliant and the execution is absolutely flawless.John Carpenter's direction is excellent and in my opinion worthy of an academy award. The story of a disturbed boy who killed his 15- year old sister at age six escapes from the mental institution he's been at for 15 years for his psychotic behavior.He's now a young man who stalks three babysitters on the scariest day of the year.Donald Pleasence gives an incredible performance as Dr.Loomis.Seriously.Nick Castle's performance as Myers is excellent.There's a real danger about Mike.He's so cold-hearted and empty. He has no emotion and stops at nothing to complete his task.His mask is really freaky.It has no emotion on the face and is pale.It completely conceals his identity,which really adds an element of fear.The music is absolutely brilliant. Carpenter knows when to play it and when not.When he plays it,BAM! Your scared stiff.The ending is extremely scary and gave me nightmares for ages. Overall,Halloween is one of the most original, enjoyable and scariest horror movies ever made. It has almost everything.Excellent acting,flawless direction,ground-breaking music,an incredibly high scare factor and a really freaky ending. The only real problem is the lack of gore.Oh,well.

The same can't be said for how freaky and entertaining the film is.Buy it now! Rated "R" for barely any violence,but some language and two scenes of brief nudity.

John Carpenter's Masterpiece
After brutally massacering his sister fifteen years ago Michael Myers has escaped from the mental hospital. Donald Pleasence tracks Michael back to his home town of Haddonfield. Here on Halloween night Michael will terrorize the small town on his rampage.

This is one of my favorite horror films of all time. The music is just chilling and is probably the creepiest part of the film. Halloween is the original that spawned many clones in the 80's and 90's, but none surpassed it. It was made on only $320,000 ($20,000 was for Donald Pleasence's five days of shooting) but racked in over $50 million. This was also Jamie Lee Curtis first staring role and launched here career as the scream queen. Halloween has never looked better and has been remastered in THX. The picture is still some bit grainy but you have to remember its from 1978. As far as horror films go this film has a great plot and proves films can be scarry without having to be gory.

The dvd is presented in both wide and full screen and DD 5.1 surround. It contains the Halloween Unmasked 2000 documentary which was real informative and had plenty of interviews with the cast. Also several radio and tv trailers were thrown in. This is a classic horror film that will always have a spot in my collection. If you are a fan of some more recent horror films I suggest you check this one out.

What Else Can I Say About A True Classic
Halloween was the very first horror movie I saw as a kid, at age 4.Ever since then, no Halloween or anytime of the year is complete for me without Dr.Loomis, Laurie Strode, Sheriff Brackett, and of course the man himself, Michael Myers. This movie epitomizes everything that Halloween is..the bogeyman laying in the dark shadow of the room , waiting for the perfect moment to strike..It's got everything..From the typical American small town, horror movies in the city just don't work..The great horror flicks of all time:Halloween, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Amityville Horror, Last House on the Left, The Town That Dreaded Sundown, and Scream, they all took place in small towns or in the middles of nowhere..
Plus Halloween films for me have always somehow managed to get the intangible down:Atmosphere.They nail the Halloween , late fall atmsophere perfectly..I loved the whole bunch of them..I'm a sucker for horror though. I also love all the Friday the 13ths, Texas Chainsaws, Screams, and Nightmares.
