Review of Halloween (2018) by Nitpicker . — 19 Oct 2018

Michael Myers has been waiting for this night to escape (again). He's being transferred to another prison (again). He's going to steal a car (again). He's going to walk among trick or treaters and kill random people in their house (again). He's going to go after Laurie Strode (again).

Pros.

-The mask looks great.

-This movie proves that you can't catch lightening in a bottle twice.

-This movie proves Halloween is nothing without Donald Pleasence.

Cons.

-It's all hype.

-It does not meet expectations if you're a fan.

-The movie feels unfinished.

-Brings nothing new to the table.

-There was nothing original.

-Felt like a cash grab.

-Wasn't scary.

-Rehashes the same plot from the first one: He escapes, gets the car......

-British podcasters were a waste of time.

-Laurie's daughter and granddaughter are unlikable.

-They don't show how Michael survived getting shot by Loomis and falling from the balcony. The coolest ending is horror history and they don't acknowledge it.

-They don't show how they captured Michael.

Final Thoughts:

I watch Halloween every October. And I've been doing that for 25 years. The new Halloween is a major let down. Part 2 and part 4 were better than this.

Hell, I was more excited about the Happy Death Day 2U trailer that was before this.
