  Review by Ian West ★★★★ 48

  There’s a lot to unpack here so I’ll start of by saying my immediate reaction walking out of the theater was that I liked it, despite having some issues... so I went home and let it simmer for a while... 

  The first act didn’t jive with me, but once Michael obtained the mask, or for that matter anytime the Shape was on screen I thought it was dynamite, exactly how I’d want to see The Shape shift through houses and streets if I were to make my own Halloween movie. The callbacks didn’t overbear me at all... and for the most part the comedy wasn’t an issue either. I loved Jamie Lee Curtis, the tracking shots, night time fall vibes, John…

  I've been waiting for this movie for years. Maybe that immediately places me at a biased position, one which cannot hope to find a single flaw in a prestige reboot of the Michael Myers franchise that was seemingly programmed for the Carpenter purists in the world, but I don't care. Shit is shit, and this ain't it. Halloween '18 rises above every sequel with ease, fucking *nails* the look of The Shape, evocatively takes a snapshot of the modern traditions and customs of the spooky Halloween season, offers a banger soundtrack score by the touring Carpenter team (being The Horror Master himself, Cody Carpenter, and Daniel Davies), and is front-to-back loaded with terrifying suspense sequences, gnarly kills, and creative…

  “happy halloween, michael”
  
  the thing about the original that’s drawn people in for 40 years is how well it’s crafted: the music, the specific angles and the way the camera swings around. the tension and the mystery of it. but like so many before and after it, this one genuinely great movie fell victim to franchising, which always waters the original down if the rest are compared to it

  but honestly? my biggest issue here is my complete lack of interest in michael myers himself: in the original, the mystery works for a single movie, but a lot of that is still due to how well rounded that film came out. the character himself however is still so one-note that i…

  Review by matt lynch ★★½ 10

  Clean and efficient, I guess, but there's nothing here, absolutely nothing, that you couldn't find in a few dozen other modern slashers, and it should probably go without saying that it lacks the original's cheap elegance. Also, sue me, I thought Carpenter's updated score was lame.

  Review by Matt Singer ★★★½

  "There is always the one girl out there, though, the one that got away. Guys have that... and serial killers have that, the one that got away. 'I had her, the trunk was lined with garbage bags, and then she got away.'"
  
  This Halloween sequel is based on the 1978 John Carpenter film of the same name and also that joke told by Adam Sandler in Funny People.
