The original Slasher film that inspired the likes of
Halloween and Friday the 13th, it’s groundbreaking and horrifying and just as
creepy 45 years later. Jess, our final girl (which became a widely used horror
trope) played beautifully by Olivia Hussey (oh my god, she’s so freaking
gorgeous) has a lot of shit on her plate, especially from her overbearing
boyfriend Peter. To make matters worse, she’s being terrorized by our lunatic
killer who keeps prank calling the house, saying disgusting things and
torturing people on the other end of the line. What Jess doesn’t know is that
the killer is inside the house, and is picking off her sorority friends one by
one.
The last 20 minutes are gripping and captivating as we see what
unfolds for Jess, her boyfriend, and the insane killer. It’s a classic, and
incredibly original from virtually every standpoint.
8/10
