Films Similar to Ours Number 2--- Halloween




Halloween is a 1978 American independent horror film directed, produced, and scored by John Carpenter, co-written with Debra Hill, and starring Donald Pleasence and Jamie Lee Curtis in her film debut and the first installment in the Halloween franchise. The film is set in the fictional midwestern town of Haddonfield, Illinois. On Halloween 1963, six year old Michael Myers murders his older sister by stabbing her with a kitchen knife. Fifteen years later, he escapes from a psychiatric hospital, returns home, and stalks teenager Laurie Strode and her friends. Michael's psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis suspects Michael's intentions, and follows him to Haddonfield to try to prevent him from killing.

Thsi film is similar to ours for two reasons firstly once again the killer is a child, well for the first part anyway, but more importantly the main character disappers for an extended amount of time over which the rage builds up and eventually he kills. This is simialr to the plan of our story as you can see from our plot that he disappears and over time the rage builds inside him.
