Review of Halloween (2018) by Karen W — 25 Oct 2018

FINALLY, IN MY LIFETIME MICHAEL MYERS HAS COME HOME AND IT'S AWESOME TO WITNESS HIS MOST BRUTAL DESTRUCTION AND MAYHEM IN FORTY YEARS. I WAS NOT ALIVE IN 1978 WHEN THE ORIGINAL WAS UNLEASHED ON THE WORLD SO HALLOWEEN 2018 IS BY FAR THE BEST HALLOWEEN FILM IN MY LIFETIME, AND IN SOME WAYS MIGHT BE THE BEST IN THE FRANCHISE.

COMPARED TO THE ORIGINAL HALLOWEEN, THE 2018 MICHAEL MYERS IS WAY MORE BRUTAL, LAURIE STRODE 2018 IS THE GREATEST FINAL GIRL EVER, THE KILLS ARE BRUTAL BUT NOT OVER-THE-TOP LIKE ROB ZOMBIE'S 2 FILMS, THE MASK IS GREAT, HALLOWEEN 2018 HAS A DASH OF COMEDY THAT ONLY ADDS TO ITS CHARM, AND FINALLY HADDONFIELD ILLINOIS ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE IT COULD BE A REAL TOWN IN THE MIDWEST AND DOESN'T HAVE PALM TREES AND MOUNTAINS IN THE BACKGROUND.

WITHOUT THE ORIGINAL THERE WOULDN'T BE AN AWESOME NEW HALLOWEEN IN 2018, BUT ALSO WITHOUT ALL OF THE JUNK IN THE MIDDLE THAT RUINED THE HALLOWEEN FRANCHISE, HALLOWEEN 2018 WOULD JUST BE ANOTHER SLASHER SEQUEL.

INSTEAD HALLOWEEN 2018 IS ACTUALLY HALLOWEEN RESURRECTION BECAUSE AFTER 40 YEARS, THE HALLOWEEN SERIES IS BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER.
