This movie didn't exactly convert me into a slasher fan or made me super excited to check out the rest of the franchise, but it mostly worked for me. The real MVP is Dr. Loomis, he really sells the shit out of the concept that Michael Myers is a superhuman threat, considering that the guy spends two thirds of the movie standing in place and doing nothing.

This is sound and moving image as unrelentingly ominous from opening credits to closing credits, mainly due to Carpenter's brilliantly simple music and the considerable but disciplined use of steadicam for the killer's POV. Carpenter also gets the pacing of the film (and thus the story) just right to ensure the biggest possible pay off for the viewer. Rating likely to increase on additional viewings.
