Review of Halloween (2018) by Debbie D — 27 Oct 2018
As a massive fan of the original, I really wanted to like this, however, I was sorely disappointed!
The dialogue was lazy & clunky. The movie moved from one "homage" to the original, to another culminating in a lackluster showdown between Myers & Strode. The characters were all assholes - the only one with any likeability was the cop Hawkins.
The writers should have spent more time creating an enthralling story instead of nudging and winking at the audience, and peppering the movie with political talking points, of which there are many! I loved the original & I watch it every year, but i'm afraid i'd happily never see this mess again.
