In the wake of putting a slug through the head of Michael Myers, a cool, wet, and perplexed Laurie Strode is discovered meandering down the road by Sheriff Brackett.
Samuel Loomis. Then, the assortment of Michael Myers is gotten by the coroner's office to be taken to the mortuary, aside from he never makes it there.
After two years, things haven't exactly come back to typical in the lethargic town of Haddonfield. Laurie has moved into the Brackett family, and in spite of the fact that her physical scars have mended, she's still somewhere down in treatment and has swung to celebrating to enable her to overlook her past. Annie has turned into the mother hen in the perch, watching out for Laurie and her dad, over attempting to deal with her own issues.
Loomis has become famous his new book, relaxing in the media as he makes the rounds advancing his future hit. Furthermore, Michael is as yet alive-and under the managing hand of his expired mother, who is by one means or another going about as his very own GPS framework, he's back on course for a bleeding family get-together.
Ransack Zombie has a skill for making an unforgiving world loaded with lumpy characters, I'll give him that much. What's more, he ramps up the fierceness and gut in this continuation in case you're into that kind of thing. However, with the heft of his consideration focused on these viewpoints, he's lamentably ignored other basic territories. After the second or third numerous wounding, the viciousness begins to wear thin.
Starting with 'Halloween's' problems, some of the humour is misplaced and out of kilter too much with the rest of the film and a few elements of the story could have been explored and gone further more. The big twist also didn't seem fully realised although a brave one and the ending felt rushed and abrupt, also felt that there could have been more tension and less unintentionally silly camp.
Have always been wary of open-ended endings and that they can be dangerous to do in case a planned sequel falls through. However, there is an awful lot to like about 'Halloween' Along with 'Halloween H 20 Years Later' it is the best looking of the follow-ups, it is very eerily shot and is close in style to the autumnal look and visual iconography of the original, something that most of the follow-ups failed to do.
Loved the haunting music score, here an asset rather than a drawback in how it adds a lot to the atmosphere and enhances it, coming close too in being a character of its own.
While flawed, the script is mostly smart with in-jokes and references that are effectively embedded and coming over as affectionate rather than random. There are humorous moments too. The deaths are horrifyingly creative and the most shocking since 'Halloween H20', the gore not going overboard on the shock value or looking cheap, not distracting at all.
The beginning is unsettlingly tense and Michael Myers has not been this freaky in a long time. Some moments have surprising heart and the scares made me jump and bite my nails. It was great for the film to return to the franchise's roots and treat the original with respect, while with enough new touches of its own.
One of the better examples this year in attempts to cater to everybody. Didn't find myself annoyed by the characters and there was personality to them to stop them from being bland. Jamie Lee Curtis has still got it, none of what made her character great is lost or forgotten, and Nick Castle is supremely terrifying as Myers. Concluding, didn't bowl me over but found myself enjoying it all the same.
This one's notable for ignoring all of the silly conspiracy threads and theories of the many sequels, instead going back to basics. Jamie Lee Curtis is back as Laurie Strode, a kind of survivalist in the Sarah Connor mould, waiting for Myers to come back as she knows he will.
The rest of the film is well made by Blumhouse Productions, quite classily directed and taking time to build suspense over endless gore effects, which I appreciated. There are problems, like boring youthful characters, random unnecessary humour and wonky writing at times, but the scare scenes manage to be ominous and I did like the way the climax keeps on referencing events of the original.
Using only the original movie as canon, it's been 40 years since Michael Myers' rampage. He has been mute under the care of Dr. Sartain in Smith's Grove Sanitarium. True crime podcasters Aaron Korey and Dana Haines have come to entice Michael to speak by bringing along his mask. Laurie Strode Jamie Lee Curtis has become an obsessive survivalist. I think I expected too much. It's obvious that these guys have great respect for the franchise.
The mechanics of the movie is well done and respectful of the original. There are issues with the writing. First, the retrieval of his mask cannot be an accident. It's convenience of story writing that annoyed me when it could have been a great way to show Michael's relentlessness. He should attack a motel where the two podcasters are staying. He could go from room to room murdering everyone until he found his mask.
There is more horror in his relentless ruthlessness. In this movie, it's a happy accident. As for Laurie's house, I have issues with its construction. She's supposed to be obsessed with this inevitable situation and it's not as well prepared as it could be. First, there are a lot of windows.
The walls seem thin. There should be one button to lock up the whole building and the windows again should be blocked by lowering metal bars. It makes no sense to set up basement to burn which seems to be more problematic than realistic. She should have better guns. She should have body armor.
Did he bring in the mannequins or did Laurie have a bunch of them in the home?
