Nifty fan short tribute to the 1978 slasher classic

Michael Myers, the predatory serial thrill killer and single most infamous resident of the small rural town of Haddonfield, Illinois, is on the prowl again. Michael attempts to recreate the murder of his first victim (and older sister) Judith with unsuspecting teenager Julie (a solid and likable performance by the pretty Magdalena Crujeiras). Writer/director Chris R. Notarile does his usual aces job of making the most out of an extremely low budget: The sharp cinematography boasts some especially cool and impressive hand-held camera-work which in turn gives the whole show an extra kinetic kick, the acting is uniformly sound, the pace moves along at a steady clip, the moments of sudden violence are truly brutal and jolting, and the film culminates in a tense and gripping chase between Myers and Julie. Better still, Notarile accurately recaptures the essential look, feel, and quietly spooky atmosphere of the first "Halloween" film. Kevin Lennon makes for an effectively creepy Michael Myers. Look fast for Notarile stock company player Kim Santiago as the mother who has her car stolen by Myers. (Chris can also be briefly heard as the voice of the sheriff.) Notarile pays affectionate homage to John Carpenter's seminal slice'n'dice trailblazer by reusing Carpenter's iconic score and even tips his hat to the second installment by including Chet Atkins' neat instrumental version of "Mr. Sandman" on the soundtrack. Right-on surprise bummer ending, too. Well worth seeing for fans of the "Halloween" series.
