Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
After a promising opening, Halloween becomes just another maniac-on-the-loose suspenser.

John Carpenter's 1978 tour de force, perhaps the most widely imitated film of the 70s.

Perhaps not quite so resonant as Psycho to which it pays due homage, but it breathes the same air.

fresh:
Halloween is an absolutely merciless thriller, a movie so violent and scary that, yes, I would compare it to Psycho.
– Roger Ebert,

fresh:
Halloween remains untouched -- a modern classic of the most horrific kind.
