HALLOWEEN FILMS PART 1

in #review6 years ago

Halloween night is a great opportunity for fans of horror movies to take pictures of their favorite monsters out in the real world.

A teenager has murdered his sister and he never intended to stop the massacre. It's the life of Michael Myers, the killer of Halloween. He is a schizophrenic who always kills the victim with a kitchen knife. Between 1978 and 2002, Michael Myers killed a total of 78 people in the film and was honored as one of the deadliest killers, alongside two "friends" Freedy and Jason. Michael Myers's most famous appearance is Halloween (1978 - 2009).

On the upside, every Halloween is always the height of horror movies across the theaters as well as the small screen. This October, Vietnamese audiences will have the opportunity to "cry out" with the latest work of the "horror king" Blumhouse called Halloween to get into the air of one of the most special festival of the year. Recently, the first trailer of the film was officially released by Universal Pictures, revealing the unexpected circumstances of the mysterious conspiracy.

In 1963, on Halloween night in the Midwestern United States town of Haddonfield, Illinois, Michael Myers, dressed in a clown costume and mask, inexplicably stabs his older sister Judith to death with a kitchen knife in their home. He is subsequently hospitalized at Warren County's Smith's Grove Sanitarium. Fifteen years later, on October 30, 1978, Michael's child psychiatrist, Dr. Sam Loomis, and his colleague, Marion Chambers, arrive at Smith's Grove Sanitarium to take Michael to court. Michael escapes from the sanitarium, stealing Loomis’ car. Returning home to Haddonfield, Michael kills a mechanic for his uniform and steals a white mask, a couple of knives, and some rope from a local store.

The next day, on Halloween, Michael stalks high school student Laurie Strode after she and Tommy Doyle drop off a key at his former house, so her father can sell it. Throughout the day, Laurie notices Michael following her, but her friends Annie Brackett and Lynda Van der Klok dismiss her concerns. Loomis arrives in Haddonfield in search of Michael, knowing his intentions. After discovering that Judith Myers' headstone has been stolen from the local cemetery, Loomis meets with Annie's father, Sheriff Leigh Brackett. The two begin their search at Michael's house, where Loomis tries to warn the skeptical sheriff about the danger Michael poses, explaining that Michael is pure evil and capable of further violence, despite years of catatonia. Sheriff Brackett patrols the streets while Loomis waits and watches the house, expecting Michael to return there.

Later that night, Laurie goes over to babysit Tommy, while Annie babysits Lindsey Wallace just across the street, unaware that Michael is watching them. When Annie's boyfriend, Paul, calls her to come and pick him up, she takes Lindsey over to the Doyle house to spend the night with Laurie and Tommy. Annie is just about to leave in her car when Michael, who stowed away in the back seat, strangles her before slitting her throat, killing her.

Soon after, Lynda and her boyfriend Bob Simms arrive at the Wallace house. After having sex, Bob goes downstairs to get a beer for Lynda, but Michael stabs him with a knife which pins him to the wall, killing him. Michael then poses as Bob in a ghost costume and confronts Lynda, who teases him, having no effect. Lynda calls Laurie; just as Laurie picks up, Michael strangles Lynda to death with the telephone cord. Meanwhile, Loomis discovers the stolen car and begins combing the streets.

Suspicious, Laurie goes over to the Wallace house. There, she finds the corpses of Annie, Bob, and Lynda in an upstairs bedroom, as well as Judith Myers' headstone.[11] Horrified, Laurie cowers in the hallway, when Michael suddenly appears and attacks her, slashing her arm. Barely escaping, Laurie races back to the Doyle house. Michael gets in and attacks her again, but Laurie manages to fend him off long enough for Tommy and Lindsey to escape. Laurie defends herself by stabbing him with a knitting needle, a metal hanger, and his own knife, but Michael re-animates and attacks Laurie. Loomis sees the two children fleeing the house, and goes to investigate, finding Michael and Laurie fighting upstairs. Loomis shoots Michael six times, knocking him off the balcony; when Loomis goes to check Michael's body, he finds it missing. Unsurprised, Loomis stares off into the night, while Laurie begins sobbing in terror. Places where Michael had previously been are shown as his breathing is heard, indicating he could be anywhere, and the last view is of the Myers house.

Review by @a-alice

Sort:  

In 1960, Alfred Hitchcock initiated the films about mentally unbalanced people - that is, maniacs. And who knows how things would go further in this area, if not for John Carpenter's "Halloween", which fixed this film genre and encouraged others to shoot similar films.
Despite the small budget, Carpenter gave us a truly masterpiece, which every connoisseur of a good movie is indebted to, regardless of his preferences. It was this film that gave birth to many personal scenes for a good horror film (in modern terms, stereotypes) that all directors used, used and will use.
If we compare those years with modernity, then the difference in the actors' play is clearly visible. In this picture we see bright, emotional heroes who gave themselves all to their roles. And the game looks great (for comparison, in most modern horror films, actors walk like zombies and barely react to what is happening).
Times change. And if now nobody looks seriously at the film with a budget of $329 000 (in most cases "this" and the film cannot be called), then in 1978 Carpenter did the impossible, taking for this money a real masterpiece, which rightfully can be called a film legend horrors.
