one of the best horror movies ever

A good mate of mine thinks this is one of the most underrated horror movies ever made. I'm completely with him on that. It came before Halloween and has a massive cult following. It doesn't bother to answer many questions and leaves it completely open. You never find out who the killer is. Quiet, creepy ending too.

I feel like this movie is one of the scariest older movies EVER.

Don’t look now released in 1973 is a highly influential horror film. Filmed in Venice and starring Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie, not a slasher but one of the creepiest endings to a film ever made, so worth reacting to!

After every killing, Billy made a phone call, being that you hear the phone ringing at end of the movie, depicts he killed Jess also..

Kids today think that horror movies are about following a formula, showing as much graphic gore as possible and jump scares. It seems people don't know how to deal with ambiguity anymore. They need every last thing explained and resolved and if it's not, then they need a whole other movie just to give them backstory. I love that this film establishes some tropes while subverting expectations and that we never find out who Billy is or what his motivations are. It is scarier that way because if this were happening to you, you wouldn't have a backstory either. You'd just know that this twisted stranger is fucking with you and no amount of backstory will change the danger you're in.

The unknown killer known only as "Billy" was played by Canadian actor Nick Mancuso in an uncredited role.

I love Margot Kidder every scene she owned. What a hilarious actress she was and very talented. May she rest in peace.

Bob Clark had no interest in sequels, a friend (John Carpenter) asked him if he did a second film, what would he call it, Bob told him “Halloween”!

Jess is definitely dead. The killer makes a call after each kill. As the camera pulls away, when we hear the phone ringing we know she's already dead.

I've never heard of this movie before except for that "the calls are coming from inside the house!" thing. Now I know where it comes from! 😮

Another great classic for Holiday is My Bloody Valentine 1981

Black Christmas was 1974. Halloween was 1978. The beginning shot isn't the only one copied in Carpenter's movie either. It's a camera pan, rather than a montage, but this movie also had the ending shots of all of the places the killer had been accompanied by the sound of his voice (Michael's breathing in Halloween).

Actually i think a British movie made in 1972 staring Susan George called FRIGHT which predated Black Christmas and Halloween was the original babysitter in peril, started that genre.👍🇬🇧

Supposedly the idea the director had for a sequel was used as part of the basis for Halloween after he told it to John Carpenter

Classic Canadian slasher movie. You never actually see the murders, but that kind of makes it spookier. I love Olivia Hussey, so I'm not going to bitch about her not changing her British-Argentinian accent for a movie set in Worst Case Ontario. Keir Dullea from 2001: A Space Odyssey is pretty good in this too. And the SCTV cameos are great.
