Review of Halloween (2018) by Robert R — 19 Oct 2018

Speaking only as someone who's seen mere parts of the first installment, I understand that my opinion on this eleventh entry may be a bit lacking in value or context, but my honest impression still stands; I thought this was a fantastic time.

A really great, post-modern premise fits snugly beside the solid atmosphere and air established by the methodical directorial stylings of David Gordon Green. The added benefit of having to witness one of Jamie Lee Curtis's best performances is also something of tremendous note.

Overall, I had a blast watching "Halloween," and I hope this acts as a wakeup call to many other studio execs looking to cash in on nostalgic brand names. You can lean on the past as hard as you'd like, but it's the narrative and invention of the filmmakers at hand that'll really keep the people asking for more.
