An escaped murderer stalks teens on Halloween while his doctor runs around looking for him. Halloween isn't the first to do that (Black Christmas? Scream Bloody Murder? or the last (Offerings, which resembles this almost to a 'T' but what this film does is tick every box, as it includes one thing that's missing from most slasher films: the killer is almost always present in every scene.
It's like he's stalking the characters like a cat stalks a mouse. I'm sure it was deliberate that the only scenes he's not hanging around in are the ones that include Donald Pleasance, a clear indication of who's smart than who.
The constant appearances and stalking just lead to the build up of this one, and although it's hard to truly rate a film I first watched decades ago, and one that has so many imitators, I could still appreciate what Carpenter was doing here. It's full of suspense, some actually decent jump scares, and all round good acting. There are hints to the unstoppable killing machine Michael would become in the next film too.
However, also through the benefit of seeing the film so many times: Do you think it was deliberate in the portrayal of Dr Loomis being also some sort of lunatic. He keeps going on about how Michael is evil but Michael a) Hasn't spoken a word since he was six and b) Has barely was paying this guy to study him?
Nonetheless, it's a good un.

A simple but near enough perfect suspense chiller, this film has lasted much longer in the memory than any of its imitators. This low-budget classic is no stepping-stone-to-bigger-things, this is a horror film made by someone with a great deal of love for the genre.
The film works through sheer atmosphere, from the opening chilling sequence, to the slow-building tension, seemingly mundane scenes with the girls chatting turning into Hitchcockian suspense scenes with none of them noticing the silent harbinger of doom always hovering in the background, to a great climax, a great tour de force of 70s terror cinema. All of this is of course aided by a fantastic score from John Carpenter, which has easily become as iconic as both the movie, and its masked villain Michael Myers.
