Review of Halloween (2018) by Darkbloodshed13 — 30 Oct 2018

Halloween is directed by David Gordon Green and is the official sequel to the 1978 classic. It is about the escape of Michael Myers and his return to the town of Haddonfield. This film is okay for the most part.

The story is what you expect from a Halloween movie, simplistic and open for a director to play with. The characters are good. Jamie Lee Curtis comes back as Laurie Strode and as always she's amazing, Haluk Bilginer is also great in this movie as Dr.

Sartain, Michael's new doctor since Dr. Loomis dead. The only real forgettable character is Allyson (Laurie Strode's granddaughter) played Andi Matichak, she's pretty much your typical shallow teen stereotype.

Unfortunately that brings us to my main problem with the film since it decides to focus on the granddaughter for more than half the film. Meaning the story focuses on it weakest elements instead of the main conflict between Laurie and Michael which what we want to see.

Luckily the last third of the film refocuses on that exact plot line turning the film into a chilling struggle of life and death. In conclusion though this film isn't as great as the original it's still pretty good, so if you like the other Halloween movies then you'll like this new entry to the franchise.
