Review of Halloween (2018) by Nextdoorstalker — 25 Oct 2018

After all of the terrible sequals in this franchise, we've finally got a sequal by people who clearly understand John Carpenter's classic. This movie isnt perfect though, it has alot of writing issues, the whole break up between a girl and a boy sub plot at this Halloween party doesnt really add anything to the story.

Most of the highschool charactors you dont really care about them, and all of them die except for Laurie's grand daughter. There's a twist later in the movie where Michael's new psychiatrist turns into a murderer all of the sudden and kills a cop with knife that was in his pen.

Michael later kills him by stomping on his head. That twist did'nt add anything either, it was a twist that was unecessary, and then then they just throw it away by having Michael stomp on his head, what was the point? Here are the positives, the soundtrack is obviously really good since its composed by John Carpenter himself, Jamie Lee Curtis is really good in the movie.

There are three scenes that I love, there is a scene where Michael is going from house to house killing people and the camera work is amazing, there is another cool scene where Michael is walking towards this highschool kid while the lights turn on and off, there is also a scene where Michael pushes Laurie off a balcony and he looks off the balcony where she lands and she's gone, its a nice callback to the ending of the original.

Overall I definetly rcommend seeing this movie, even with its flaws.
