‎‘Halloween’ review by kailey • Letterboxd

Halloween 1978 ★★★★★

Watched Nov 04, 2020

specific horror and existential terror. every car that has slowed down just enough for your heart to start pounding, every passerby on the street that has lurked just a little too close, every dark corner that has pulsed with shadow just a little too much. i have been jamie lee curtis too many times to count, praying that the night wasn't big enough for michael myers to overtake me as i quelled my impulse to run. there's nothing supernatural here yet it's not entirely set in our world- it's a liminal space that is where all of us and none of us live at the same time. saturated skies and a Illinois set in California. sometimes evil wins and there's nothing you can do to escape it.
