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.

I thought it was very good, I liked the subtext of the film and

Spoiler:

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.

Spoiler:

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.

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

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.

$230.4 million box office gross worldwide :clap1:

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.
