Review of Halloween (2018) by Wiscojoe — 31 Oct 2018
Halloween is a no-frills, respectful, and direct followup to the original, with just enough Danny McBride/David Gordon Green "slice of life" asides to make it seem fresh. As a slasher film, the kills on display are impressive for being both practical and inventive.
As a sequel, the film successfully veers between slavish devotion to the source material and winking meta-commentary. Like Michael Myers himself, the film ultimately has nothing to say except that it exists and that it is relentless.
