"...Penned by Carpenter and his then partner, producer Debra Hill, the script was written in ten days, and it shows: there’s nothing remotely superfluous here, just forward momentum and driving plot. It’s left largely to the cast to lend the film personality, which they do in spades: Jamie Lee Curtis’s casting was almost accidental (Carpenter wanted someone else) but the film might not have worked at all without her grounding, relatable presence (the fact that her mum was Janet Leigh from Psycho is just a great added Easter egg); meanwhile, Donald Pleasence adds a touch of old-school sparkle and scenery-chewing levity.
But it’s Carpenter’s direction that makes 'Halloween' tick, and resulted in it becoming (still, possibly) the most successful indie film ever made. Utilising every inch of the frame, pioneering (though not inventing) the use of Steadicam to represent the killer’s POV and rooting the action in the most ordinary, domestic environment, he created a new and more intimate language for horror cinema, one where kitchen knives become murder weapons, kids’ bedrooms become killing grounds and every moving shadow could herald the approach of a remorseless assassin." (Tom Huddleston, TimeOut)
