Should have ended with H20. Resurrection already ruined what was a great ending for the franchise.

:clap1:

Ressurection was disgusting. I like to pretend it doesn't exist and it ended with H20.

[Cal.]

Oh I don't think it's a continuation of the remakes as John Carpenter said he didn't like where they went. He says they're taking it back to early on when Michael was just a killer not a character :clap1:

[Jason.]

I'm excited for this mainly because it's John Carpenter behind it all and not Rob Zombie. :clap2:

[Cal.]

Praying this doesn't fall through.

I think JC is very particular about what he likes/dislikes and he'll probably leave the project if he doesn't like where it's going.

Here for it. Hope it's a reboot and not the third remake :clap1:

Didn't even realize there were that many Halloween films. I somehow doubt it will be "most terrifying" yet. I think it will be just like all the other sequels and be a pale shadow of the original. The original is better than all the rest put together.

This really.

I thought H20 ended it nicely so Laurie could live in peace. I actually don't even rate John Carpenter very highly anymore, the only thing he got right with The Ward was Amber Heard, the movie was cliché and dull.

[Cal.]

Apparently it could be out by Halloween next year :clap1:

I was hoping she’d have her short hair like in the promo and this pic:

but that must just be her out of character look :(

L-R - Andi Matichak as Allyson, Laurie’s granddaughter, Jamie Lee as Laurie Strode and Judy Greer as Karen Strode, Laurie’s daughter and Allyson’s mum

[LaLaLand]

Omg Kitty Sanchez from Arrested Development!

Some pics of the nu cast in role!

The first pic is Andi as Allyson Miles Robbins as Dave and Virginia Gardner as Vicky (Allyson’s school friends)

The second pic is just of Miles and Virgina as Dave and Vicky again

There’s two more teens cast, Dylan Arnold and Drew Schied but idk their character names yet

[Cal.]

Emma Roberts and Lucy Hale both wanted to play Laurie’s granddaughter. I’m fuming they didn’t pick Emma!

Lucy can't act and Emma can only play one character archetype tbh.

Emma didn't play the mean girl on Unfabulous and she was good on that show.

[LukeB]

Lucy Hale is awful but i'm annoyed Emma Roberts didn't get it. She had a good connection with Jamie Lee Curtis on Scream Queens.

Chanel Oberlin dragging Michael Myers to DEATH?

i actually giggled at the thought of this.

The remake wasn’t that bad. Well the first one wasn’t. The second, well the less said about that one the better.

[Amy Jade]

The remake wasn’t that bad. Well the first one wasn’t. The second, well the less said about that one the better.

I actually liked RZ's Halloween ll better than RZ's Halloween. The backstory part was awful and you could tell RZ thought it would make Michael scarier but it just didn't work for me.

Scout Taylor-Compton wasn't well cast as Laurie and Sheri Moon Zombie is embarrassing bad. Annie should have been the shock lead character.

I don’t even remember anything about Halloween 2 tbh. That’s how bad it was whereas the first one stayed true to the original minus a few differences and it also has the rewatchabillty factor.

[Cal.]

The trailer has been aired at CinemaCon in the US!

Only amount of time before it leaks.

[Amy Jade]

OMG I just saw footage of the new movie, someone was live screening it on twitch. Might be from thecinemacon

A woman is in a public bathroom stall and you see a close up of Michaels new mask and he throws teeth covered in blood under the door and she screams. Apparently there is more but that was all that was shown the rest was Jurassic World!

Official plot

"A British documentary crew comes to the States to visit Michael in prison for a retrospective of the maniac's night of terror — but their project becomes way more interesting when Myers escapes custody, retrieves his signature mask and seeks revenge on Laurie, with others naturally being part of his impressive career body count along the way.

"In the decades following the fateful Halloween night that forever altered the former babysitter's life, Laurie has armed and prepped herself for Michael's inevitable return — to the detriment of her family, including daughter Karen (Judy Greer) and granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak)."

AHHHHHH it looks so good

The last scene had me SHOOK

[Tom4784]

It does look like it could be decent. Halloween deserves at least one decent sequel.

Halloween II was good you rude little cow!

But this looks great!

We see a tad too much of Michael tho mind

[Tom4784]

It was...okay but needless.

This feels like it'll actually be a meaningful sequel.

[JerseyWins]

Idk why I've always been a MUCH bigger fan of Friday the 13th & Texas Chainsaw Massacre over Halloween but I still do like all 3 and this looks promising :clap1:

[Cal.]

Someone just pointed out it looks like Halloween 4 but with Jamie Lee Curtis :worry:

[Cal.]

Idk why I've always been a MUCH bigger fan of Friday the 13th & Texas Chainsaw Massacre over Halloween but I still do like all 3 and this looks promising :clap1:

I’m the opposite as it goes!

Friday the 13th is my least favourite of the horror franchises actually

[Cal.]

Actually Child’s Play is :worry:

Halloween>Scream>Texas Chainsaw Massacre>Friday the 13th>A Nightmare on Elm Street>Child’s Play

[Tony Montana]

Did you like the Rob Zombie remakes, Cal?

[Cal.]

Did you like the Rob Zombie remakes, Cal?

The first one is okay but I wasn’t much for the second.

That trailer is LIT

I rarely go to the cinema but I'll definitely be going to see this, I can't wait. :clap1:

[Jason.]

Yeah, I was thinking that.

Most trailers nowadays are too spoilery

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Yeah I feel like they showed too much of the movie in that trailer

[Amy Jade]

Fuming its loading soooo slow for me the traffic must me huge :worry:

[Amy Jade]

Looks SO good. Saw the teeth scene a few months back and it gave me chills. I hate going to public bathrooms :worry:

[Barry.]

Nice trailer but doesn't look that scary.

[Glenn.]

I love how it completely abolished the 8 or 9 sequels with one line

[LaLaLand]

Good trailer, hope it's somewhat good but slasher films tend to be so bland nowadays :(

[Moviefan]

Good trailer, hope it's somewhat good but slasher films tend to be so bland nowadays :(

(Have you Victor Crowley (2017) aka Hatchet 4?
That was a really good slasher movie )


This looks really good, fun and creepy to watch
That last scence did get me

[GoldHeart]

For goodness sake not another 1 :sleep::facepalm:

They’re already planning another one :laugh2:

[Jamie89]

It looks great from the trailer I'm really looking forward to this. Although I'm a bit disappointed that H20 is ignored (I loved that film) I understand why .

[LaLaLand]

New trailer:

x_-x4Dwz-rU

[Tom4784]

It honestly looks really good. I hope it's a one and done film though. They don't need to turn this into the ground again with endless sequels.

That has nothing to do with Michael whatsoever, so there's no point watching. I thought it was crap anyway

Even I’ve seen Halloween 3 and I can confirm it’s bloody awful.

Have fun those of you catching it, let us know your thoughts here!

[Nancy.]

I was going to go tonight but changed my mind as I want to see BB.

Will probably go tomorrow or Sunday.

[Cal.]

Going on Thursday!

[Daniel.]

I saw this yesterday

It was really good, not scary (but then I dont find the others scary) but really intnese an definitely the best since the first one.

[Black Dagger]

Watched it last night with Anthony.

Was very intense and he's very brutal in this one.

[Nancy.]

Just got back and omg... what a film. Very tense and quite brutal in parts. I even winced during a couple of scenes and I'm a big horror fan. It's definitely the best Halloween since parts 1&2. Go and see it, you won't be disappointed.

[Glenn.]

Going to see this tomorrow. Can’t wait

[Amy Jade]

I loved it.

Anyone else adore the scene when Karen was in the bunker absoloutely scared to death but it was an act and as soon as Michael got close she blasted him?

The Strode gals are made of tough stuff!

[Kazanne]

Just come back from seeing this,love Jamie Lee Curtis,love the music it's so iconic, not overly gory but a good movie.The little kid the girls was babysitting was cute and funny too but still don't know where he went,lol.

[Tony Montana]

i'm gonna watch this weekend and i'm looking forward to it.

[Daniel.]

Was the end scene with Alyson hoding the knife could be an indaction if they do a sequal she will be villain? Or am I looking too much in depth?

Also not sure he didnt surive the fire

[Jason.]

Just got back from seeing this and loved it. :clap1: The deaths are brutal but it's not as unnecessarily gory as the remakes.

I saw most of it coming after the spoilery trailer but it didn't ruin the film.

Much better than H20 and on par with the first two originals imo.

I’m seeing it on Tuesday instead of Thursday!

Halloween 5 was meant to be Jamie Lloyd carrying on Michael's legacy but they didn't want him killed off.

At the end of Halloween 2018 though there is heavy breathing implying Michael is alive.

Iconic :clap1:

[Jase.]

This was okay but I don't feel like it added anything new as such, the characters didn't feel that developed and it was kind of just there. Struggling to see where all the praise is coming from and I love horror films! I guess it was an entertaining watch but nothing outstanding. When it ended I just sat and thought "eh, is that it?". It's basically like every other slasher film out there?

[Jason.]

When it ended I just sat and thought "eh, is that it?".

I thought the same just because I was expecting more than an ambiguous ending where the Strodes leave him to burn as they drive off.

I was lowkey expecting Michael to kill Laurie or vice versa and Karen to die in the third act tbh.

I was lowkey hoping Michael would at LEAST kill one of them. I just found the ending so basic and meh.

We stuck around for the end credits and when it was just some Darth Vader style breathing somebody yelled "well that was a waste of ****ing time sticking around for" and we all pissed ourselves laughing :joker:

[Nancy.]

Halloween raked in a staggering, $77.5 million debut, Universal and Blumhouse's movie topped the weekend with the second largest October opening weekend of all-time. The horror film headlined a massive weekend overall weekend, that saw the top twelve combine for over $160 million, making this the second largest October weekend ever.

Ugh all of your Reviews have got me so Excited! Can't wait to watch it on Saturday.

I'm trying really hard to not look at any of those spoilers

[Smithy]

I thought it was ok, but nothing amazing, I don’t get what all the hype is about? I haven’t seen any of the other films so does that play a part?

But then if it does surely a film should be able to be good on its own merits rather than bc it’s part of a franchise?

Idk, anyway, it was ok, but nothing different to any other slasher film out there

ALSO I hate when films have really illogical/unexplained things in them, like how he just wouldn’t die?

Yes, every film of the series bar the original and H20 were panned and are generally crap. So the fact we have a really good new Halloween movie is a bit of a miracle tbh.

Oh ok, so im right, it’s not actually that great y’all are just happy that after so many **** films you’ve got a half decent one

[Tom4784]

I thought it was very good, I liked the subtext of the film and The role reversal at the end with Laurie essentially pulling off all the horror villain tropes against Micheal.

I kinda think it's a film that's equally smart and dumb though as I thought the characters made too many dumb decisions to facilitate the plot and I think they made him a bit too unstoppable and overly strong at parts.

A man in his 60's who has been inactive for 40 years is not going to throw around people like he does at the petrol station and such. I think they made him too Jason-esque at parts when he should have been threatening because of how smart of a character he is when it comes to stalking his victims. Him being fine after being run over at full speed was also silly.

Also scenes like Alison's dad going out of the safehouse that was Laurie's home to investigate an obviously suspicious car made me roll my eyes. Horror films require it's characters to make mistakes but they don't have to make dumb ones.

I liked the themes of trauma and empowerment though and outside of the spotty horror film logic writing, I thought the writing overall was pretty good as was the direction.

I'd say it's a solid 8/10.

I don't need a sequel though, I thought that was the perfect place to end it.

[Wizard.]

An enjoyable film but I can't really take Jamie Lee-Curtis seriously she is kind of comedic?

[Wizard.]

Mess there was a sequel with Tyra Banks and Busta Rhymes :skull: and in it Michael kills Laurie so what that didn’t happen anymore?

None of the sequels have any connection to the new movie. Halloween (2018) is a direct sequel to Halloween (1978) there is even a nod towards Halloween ll where Allyson says Laurie being Michaels sister is BS, that plot was added in Halloween ll.

Resurrection is terrible though.

[Cal.]

$230.4 million box office gross worldwide :clap1:

[Braden]

Just watched this on Netflix.

I thought the last 30/40 minutes were really intense and enjoyable, but the rest of the film was quite boring to get through. Jamie Lee Curtis was brilliant, though.
