      Halloween is an absolutely merciless thriller, a movie so violent and scary that, yes, I would compare it to Psycho. ( Read More )
    • Tom Milne

      Perhaps not quite so resonant as Psycho to which it pays due homage, but it breathes the same air. ( Read More )
    • Ron Pennington

      Carpenter obviously knows the genre well and he builds a properly terrifying atmosphere through his well paced direction. Its an effective entry for its intended market. ( Read More )
