Review of Halloween (2018) by Moviemitch96 — 18 Oct 2018

Released and set 40 years after the release/events of the iconic original slasher from 1978, this film does us all the great service of completely disregarding all of the unnecessary and not so great sequels to the original! That's right! This is treated as a sequel to the very original film only (thank goodness!) The result is a frightening and bloody good time with Michael Myers for a new generation, with of course some clever winks and nods to the original as well.

And I gotta say, watching three generations of Strodes (Laurie Strode, her daughter, and her granddaughter) going up against Michael Myers was pretty awesome to watch! Jamie Lee Curtis is better than ever as the older but certainly wiser Laurie Strode, and even Judy Greer as her daughter and newcomer Andi Matichak as her granddaughter both give strong performances.
