Halloween

I dont understand what everyone else watched. I'm a die hard Halloween fan since childhood, and this film was an abomination. So disappointed

If you see the very first one or remember it very well, right from the start you will see the connection. Yes the credits indicate we get the "true"(?) sequel to the original Halloween. And there are so many nice little treats spread throughout the movie (an actress from the first movie reappearing in a different role, but also shots that are almost the same as in the original ... but sometimes there is a twist for the viewers).

The original two main actors reprising their roles too (even if some may argue you can't tell with Myers because of his mask). This really is a service to fans and a movie that cherishes the original. Of course since the myriads of sequels introduced a lot of stuff, most of which is thrown out the window (no pun intended). One of the primary things being that like in the original, the Killer and the chosen victim are not related. Even so they have a special bond/relationship. So the only movie you need to watch before this, is the Original movie from 1978 - it will be worth your time. The ending of this new one may feel for some like a let down, but it is what it is and even if it feels like a letdown, it still sort of works in the whole picture

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.

Grade B

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.

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.
