This 21st century Halloween-style slasher might be chilling, gross, or blood-curlding for some, but heart-warming for those who are familiar with the incredible number of classic horror films referenced and nodded to in this production.
Each dialogue scene tells us more about who our killer is, what his motivations are, and how he's decided to commit the next murder, but the easter eggs in the background, lines, props, and framing make this a joy for horror connoisseurs to rewatch over and over. Many won't get to enjoy the moments that will make film buffs laugh or gasp in surprise, but this film is multi-faceted so it can be enjoyed as a simple slasher even if you don't get all the references.
The murders are unique compared to a lot of stereotypical slashers, the sfx is all practical with no CGi, really giving it that classic horror feel, and we never feel like a killing is recycled within the film.
As the movie winds to a close the goosebumps start to appear as we realize the scope of the terror our Butcher has caused, and reflect on the lunacy of his disease mixed with the class of his character.

Christopher Nolan has continued to impress with every film he puts out, his take on the Batman series being no exception. However, one character takes the cake in this film, and that is, of course, Heath Ledger's Joker. This film would be worth watching just for this one stunning performance. Put him with an all-star cast including Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine, and Christian Bale's great portrayal of the Batman might almost be upstaged, were the film not named after his character. I would highly recommend this film to anyone wishing to be highly entertained by a dark action film with a lot of drama and good plot points. No pulled punches on this film, you get what you ask for, a Dark Knight who wows and astonishes.
