    Halloween offers a fun ride with Michael Myers

    When I go see a slasher film I want to see kills and gore a lot of gore. On top of that I would like to be engage completely. Halloween offer me that, From the moment that they visit Michàel in the mental health prison to when he goes on his killing spree in Halloween. The killings were creative. Michàel Myers was brutal and pure evil in this one. Some of my favorite scenes were the baby sit scene. The scene where You see Michàel waking around the house and later appears inside the house in the same shot without cut.

    I tried watching the rob zombie Halloween and I thought it was boring, compare to this is engaging, creative and completely fun ride.

    A Disappointing Mess

    The easily entertained movie goers will be perfectly happy with this disaster of a film. But, people who are looking for a quality storyline or a finished movie with a clear direction will be extremely disappointed.

    I mostly enjoyed the first half of the movie. The ending was the worst and most pathetic section, which ruined a lot of potential. Do not expect the ending to be better than Halloween Resurrection.

    The film attempts to be original using an interesting twist, but timidly chooses a plain and boring formula for most of the film. The pathetic attempts at humor were a disaster, and made the film very messy.

    The film doesn't do much to separate itself from the other sequels. It fails to be unique due to imitating other sequels which are supposed to be ignored. It felt like a lame remake instead of being a new and interesting sequel.

    Don't get your hopes up. You will need to ignore the unfinished nature of this film in order to enjoy it. The trailer showed images that were never in the movie. Seems like very messy editing.

    Halloween Resurrection was also bad, but the new movie was almost like The Last Jedi of Halloween films. But, an easily entertained popcorn muncher will enjoy it. It was unoriginal, uncomfortably unfunny, and unfinished. The soundtrack and Jamie Lee Curtis were the best things about this film. Just do not get your hopes up.

    Why?

    I get that this was meant to be a direct sequel to the original... but why? Why did they bother writing a daughter into the story when she already had a son in H2O. This film could've easily been a follow on from that, with characters that we already knew and were familiar with. I didn't read too much on this before watching, I was just excited for another Halloween film. And when there was no mention of her son, but a daughter, this confused me. To the point I had to google to find out why. Don't get me wrong the film is ok, not very "Michael Myers" though. He seemed more violent bloody murderer than being stealthy and stalking his prey which is what we are used to. A few jumpy bits in the film, but not scary. Not to mention the pointless teenage storyline, which really didn't belong. Unfortunately this film didn't blow my mind like I hoped it would.

    GREAT SEQUEL CURTIS WHAT A GREAT PERFORMANCE!

    Saw the first one in the theater In 1978 it took 40 years but was Worth the wait. The darkness to the movie match The original. It is a perfect sequel hands down. Will their can their be another. We can only hope!

    Suffering from a serious case of earlyseeitis

    The movie geeks who saw this early have been overpraising this to the skies. What i saw was an adequate revival with Jamie Lee doing her best with a totally unbelievable, over the top survivalist version of Laurie Strode, sequences taken whole cloth from the original and the myriad sequels, and strange moments of comedy that belonged in another movie and created weird tone issues. I might be alone in this but H20 was a far superior Laurie vs Michael rematch.

    • Trivia
      The film's producer is Malek Akkad, who is the son of Moustapha Akkad, the producer of the original 1978 "Halloween." Moustapha Akkad was murdered, along with his daughter Rima (Malek's sister), in the terrorist bombing of an Amman, Jordan hotel in 2005. Jamie Lee Curtis has recounted how the first person she saw when she came to the set for the first day of filming the 2018 film was Malek, who she remembered as a 7 year-old child visiting the set during production of the original film. She added that seeing Malek for the first time since his father's death immediately brought her to tears.

      When Michael Myers walks around Laurie's house, the view from the basement shows gaps, dust and even his footsteps through the floor. Earlier the floor was shown to be consisting of square floor tiles without gaps.
