Review of Halloween (2018) by Trineo99 — 09 Nov 2018

First of all, Jamie Lee Curtis did a fantastic job as Laurie. She was able to switch from being a tough character to being more kind and open about what’s going on with her. Before I saw this movie I rewatched the original one and it was amazing to see her change from this innocent teenager to a tough woman who would do anything to see the end of Michael Myers.

The opening credit sequence to this film was incredible. I wish I could say more about the sequence but it would be borderline spoiler territory so I won’t. This movie had some pretty good tension in some scenes as well.

Mainly the ending of the film. But no matter what if there was tension or suspense in a scene in this film it was good. As much as this film had some good things about it, it also had some negative things about it.

One such thing is the editing in this film. The editing from beginning to end was terrible and all over the place. There were a few scenes where it was okay, but most of those scenes were the suspense scenes.

One thing that was great about the first movie was how little you saw Michael Myers which is what him so mysterious but in this one, you saw too much of him. This movie is 1 hour and 44 minutes long and you can feel it.

The story isn’t interesting unless Laurie is on screen. You don’t care about the other characters in this film and just want to see them die. In the end, Halloween (2018) is a good slasher movie but if you want a good slasher and movie then watch the 1978 one.
