Review of Halloween (2018) by Stephanie555 — 19 Oct 2018

I was highly anticipating this one. I couldn't wait to see Jamie Lee back in action. I have to say when word got out that they would be dismissing H 2 and H20 that was hard to understand. It just seems it made for a better story this go around on how she lives now with a fortress and guns galore, escaping to come after her 20 years ago and now waiting again for this go around.

But that aside , I went in with nothing but positive mind set , ready to be blown away. Well.... it was good... but there were a lot of things that were just too much. He's in a sanitarium 40 years , silent w/o a word and on Halloween night they're going to transport him to somewhere else??? I mean I get it.

. you have to get him out of the hospital somehow, but there's other ways. I didn't like the role of Laurie's daughter... she played the old role of "your crazy" "this isn't real" yada yada.

.. too much. The movie should have been scarier , like the others. Too much comic relief for a movie of this caliber. The scares were lacking for me and I saw plenty of opportunities for lots of really good scares.

The music however was on point and Michael's mask and killing was good. I just think it could have been better. Jamie Lee played a good role of course , but I think her character was also lacking.

She needed more. It's still worth seeing without a doubt and I hope they make another one next year, probably that one will be without Jamie Lee but the series still has plenty of life it just needs to be the scare that we know it can be and the horror that all the other films of today want to be.

Step it up on the next one guys... it's Halloween after all.
