 | | 18. Halloween 1 (25th Anniversary Edition 2-Disc Set) | | | Starring: Donald Pleasence Jamie Lee Curtis Director: John Carpenter | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/5/2003 |  | Halloween - DVD Review By: Norm Schrager - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 8/3/2007 7:49 PM | |
Considered by many to be a modern horror classic, Halloween succeeds through simplicity. This thriller -- a veritable kickoff for 25-plus years of slasher films -- works because director John Carpenter keeps the story neat and the presentation basic. It's an approach that gives Halloween an easy, no-frills realism, and a likable indie style that shines through even today. Carpenter and co-writer/producer Debra Hill turn a few suburban streets into a house of horrors for some unsuspecting teenagers -- with no special effects and very few cheap thrills. read the full review | |

Halloween's Michael Myers has seen many incarnations during his 29-year reign of terror. While he hasn't yet seen the vastness of space (boldly not going where most horror franchises eventually go), he has met a similar fate -- the remake. Although the majority of horror moviegoers are just looking for the next gore-fest, true horror fans are as rabid as Christians looking to crucify the latest blasphemously-filmed story of Christ. Luckily, director Rob Zombie is a member of the horror genre cult and treats his Halloween remake with the utmost respect, while amping up the intensity for a post-Saw audience. read the full review | |

Break out the Reese’s Pieces and the Speak ‘n’ Spell – E.T. is back, and he’s hungry for your blood!!! Okay, while this 20th anniversary reissue makes a few changes, it’s not quite that radical… but if you haven’t seen this film since you were 10 years old (like me), it is well worth another visit to the movie. Never mind the updates and alterations -- it's amazing how much I'd forgotten from the original -- which means the update is just as fresh and exciting as it was in 1982. But Steven Spielberg has been tinkering -- and not really in an obvious way like Lucas did with Star Wars. Most notable among the changes (which add about 5 minutes to the running time) are a repaired and expanded opening sequence, wherein we meet E.T. read the full review | |
