La noche de Halloween Ratings & Reviews
- Benjamin McCarthy18 de febrero de 2025This movie is awesome I watch it every Halloween and also this creamed me out it was like the ending was the scary part I was like so scared that I had to go in a different room 🤣
- Carlos Ibarra10 de abril de 2025The granddaddy of em all. My favorite movie period. Has been since I hit high school. It inspired countless imitators and sequels, but none have come close to touching the greatness of this eerie classic.
- Stairwaytothestars15 de octubre de 2025HALLOWEEN is a timeless classic, that captures the isolation in this chilling and eerie atmospheric movie with a great menacing score.
- DARTH VADER27 de enero de 2026The movie that kicked the door wide open for the slasher genre! John Carpenters Halloween is full of atmosphere, that has that sense of dread about it and has brilliant build up to each of the kills and that's what this 1st film prides itself on 👌👌 This movie has one of the best & disturbing openings of all time and I would love to go in a time machine, just to see the audiences reactions when it's revealed to us just after the POV shots are over that, it's just a six year old child and brother of Judith which is of course Michael that killed her in the Opening of the film. Also the potrayal of The Shape by Nick Castle is the greatest of all time and yes there have been really good potrayals of Michael Myers over the years, but none of them have been as iconic as Nick Castle, he will always be The Shape to me! This movie obviously had for those of you who haven't seen it before, features one of the most famous & iconic kills not just in this whole franchise but in horror as a whole the Bob kill. You cannot talk about Halloween without mentioning that score, the Halloween score is so well known and iconic that even for people who have never watched any of the Halloween movies in their life, all know where that score comes from it's a massive and critical part of this movies DNA, exactly like the score from Jaws and what the score in Jaws does for that film. I really love the whole slow burn that this movie has and the pacing along with the slow burn and they really do go together seamlessly it's brilliant! Obviously this film is famous for it's monologue speech from Dr Samuel Loomis to Sherriff Brackett that's part of this movies DNA as well. And finally you can't mention the OG Halloween without not talking about how and why Michael was the best utilised in John Carpenters Halloween, there is no motive, reason or understanding for why he's the way that he is and that's what the true intention of the Michael Myers character was always supposed to be, because of the fact that we don't know why Michael is the way that he is! The OG Halloween film really executed the Michael Myers mystery factor to perfection in this first film, that's when he's his most scary & interesting at both the same time and that's what all of the sequels have all failed to recapture with the Michael Myers character, less is more and it 💯 works here and is one of this films biggest strengths and what sets it apart from all of the sequels. And the ending of Halloween sums up in a nutshell what Michael Myers is about just simply brilliant from John Carpenter! To be honest it should have ended there because it's such a powerful, impactful, effective & is the perfect ending to this film. 🎃🔪
- Dan The Man Kearney4 de marzo de 2026Simply a Classic film and the true father to all horror films that come after it
- Stephen4 de agosto de 2025One of the best slasher films.
- DANNYZUKO783 de octubre de 2025YOUNG FUTURE EX-WIVES JAMIE LEE CURTIS. I FEEL LIKE I WAS IN THE HOUSE WITH HER I WAS SCREAMING AND CRYING WITH HER. JAMIE LEE CURTIS DID GREAT AS LAURIE.
- nicpederson24 de agosto de 2025A pretty epic horror that sets the bar for so many to follow
- Louis Alexander4 de agosto de 2025I've watched this so many times I've lost count. I own it and re-watch it on Halloween night every year, because it never gets old. In my opinion, it's the perfect formula for a horror movie, frightening and tense without jump scares every 30 seconds, properly violent and gory without overly-long scenes of the gore, funny without being over-the top. And finally, Jame Lee Curtis and the man who plays Michael play their roles perfectly. I've seen every single sequel and they are okay, but this one, in my opinion, is as close to perfect as you could possibly get from a horror/slasher movie.
- neomoonsevin202427 de diciembre de 2025For 1978 this should scares the living unduks off you and u new school kids u best have the diapers ready because this movie isn't for you kiddies great actors and acting definitely a classic to remember

- KGM SOSA7 de octubre de 2025John Carpenter’s Halloween is a classic for many & while I respect its legacy as a 70s slasher pioneer, my experience was very mixed. What worked for me: The strongest redeeming quality was its nostalgic aura. Everything screamed 70s in the best way possible: the rotary phones, the cars, the sound quality, the cheesy dialogue & lingo, & of course the legendary synth-heavy score. I’m a sucker for that era’s horror/slasher vibe, & this movie nails the aesthetic. Michael Myers’ introduction as a now-iconic character also deserves recognition. On atmosphere & style alone, Halloween had an easy 8–9/10 in its hands. Where it fell apart: Unfortunately, the characters (especially Laurie) dragged this down hard. I don’t mind suspension of disbelief (it’s a slasher after all), but the decision-making here crosses from “horror logic” into flat-out lazy writing. Characters constantly act in ways no rational person ever would & it becomes infuriating rather than suspenseful. • Laurie repeatedly incapacitates Michael by barely inflicting enough damage to even hurt a frail kitten, only to turn her back, throw her weapon away & collapse in tears while he inevitably gets up again. • Despite knowing she’s being stalked, she still investigates a pitch-black, silent house where her friends are clearly missing loudly calling out instead of being cautious, effectively walking into the killer’s hands. • Other characters refuse to even turn on lights while nervously creeping around eerie homes, squinting into the dark like electricity bills were too high in 1978 (they weren’t). Moments like this piled up until I was literally shouting at the screen, wishing the main character dead out of sheer frustration. Btw that’s coming from someone who almost always scores movies 9s & 10s; So a 6 from me is harsh. Final thoughts: The first 3/4 of Halloween felt like an easy classic, but the last act knocked it down several pegs. Still, I liked it enough that I can see myself revisiting it & maybe climbing back up to a 7–8/10 once the irritation wears off. For now though, I can only call it a flawed classic, important for what it did for the genre, but frustrating in execution.
