I thought this Halloween movie had a great twist to it. Completely took me off guard. The fight scene between Myers and Laurie was one of the best yet. A great ending to a great series.
So I'm a huge fan of the original. I've seen every sequel and the reboot many times, except Resurrection because it was the worst one ever. I thought 2018 was the best of the sequels because it felt the most like the original. It wasn't perfect and still missed a few things but it was very notable for a Halloween fan. I didn't like Halloween Kills. The characters were so stupid which is not what Halloween is about. Also Michael Myers isn't a rampage killer. He's patient and methodical and stalks his victims. The whole thing just didn't work for me. It felt like Jason, not Michael. So I was expecting this one to be a disappointment as well. If you're expecting it to be like the previous ones it's not. So if that bothers you, you're not going to have a good time. This explores the idea that evil is a force that can consume someone. As Dr. Loomis ranted about Michael in the original, referring to him as a thing and not a person. Someone consumed by evil with no conscience or reason left, just a one dimensional being. It's an interesting concept that hasn't been explored in all the Halloween movies. It's not a perfect movie, but it is an entertaining one. I was expecting this to be more of the same, Michael comes back, kills more people, has a showdown, and dies for good. If you're want that and are expecting that you won't like this movie. If you're a fan of the theme of Halloween, that Michael Myers is not supernatural, but consumed by a force of nature, then you might really enjoy this movie, like I did.
Definitely with seeing. Regardless what the haters say
The series goes out on a high, at least until Halloween Ends, Part 2.
THE BEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN
Not half as scary as seeing Tom Hanks in a fat suit in ELVIS.
The last good movie in this franchise was released 40 years ago. All of the Halloween movies since have been total shit, and this is no exception. The only thing scary about this is Jamie Lee Curtis's haggard face.
Kind of sort of okay opening sequence, then downhill from there. No scares at all. No tension to speak of. Imbeciles like Dean might like it, but people with brains and taste should steer well clear of this dumpster fire. Boooooo!
I am a big fan of slasher films. This was garbage.
Slasher fans won't be disappointed.
