Jessica Biel looks good, the acting is relatively ok and the opening scenes were quite nice and showed potential. The three things that this movie does right. One star for each and I'm being lenient because it made me laugh on two occasions. Never scared me or even made me feel uncomfortable though, which is a shame because this is what the original does better than pretty much any other movie.

Really not much to say about this. If you're expecting anything remotely Lovecraftian, you'll be very, very disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good "bad" movie and this wasn't an exception, but the Lovecraft connection messed everything up. Felt like watching two different movies that had nothing to do with each other. Too bad, because the original short story would make an amazing horror movie.

Let's be real, you could never create something as powerful and memorable as the original Halloween in 2018 (or maybe you could, but it'd be a massive commercial flop). While this movie wasn't something special, as a fan of the original Halloween who never really liked any of the sequels, I was pretty happy with the final result. My only complaints, way too much blood and gore, which always makes a movie cheesy, and way too many characters, making it hard to actually care about them like in the original. 8/10 which would be a 6 or 7 if it wasn't a Halloween movie.
