You shouldn't start with an old horror movie like Halloween. It's a classic, but its low budget and age make it more funny than scary. And the remake isn't worthwhile. Plus you'll see all the deaths coming.

You should start with The Descent. Very psychological, but not confusing. And its newer, so the effects are better - you'll be more interested.
