Halloween 2018 is good
Halloween 2018 is well crafted. It contends, like Halloween H20 did, that most or all the sequels to the original did not happen. (I might still have DVDs of Halloween 4 and 5 though.) In this movie Laurie Strode has spent forty years preparing for Michael Myers to return. She is estranged from her daughter but might be on better terms with her granddaughter.
After some journalists/podcasts try to interview Michael or at provoke him to say something, Michael escapes a transport bus to a new holding facility.(I am not sure what they expected him to say. He hadn’t spoken for about forty years.) He heads back to his hometown and he gets up to his old tricks.
The movie is good enough I guess but some of the implications of the plot are creepy. I am not sure if the filmmakers meant this or not. The musical theme might have been updated and
like the original film, it is not overtly gory. On average the Friday the 13th movies have more gore than the Halloween series.
Andi Matichak is likeable as Alison, Laurie’s granddaughter. Maybe she will pop up in something else, perhaps something more fun. Jamie Lee Curtis gives a good performance as Laurie. Some of the male characters are deadweight but at least one knew when to back off.
I think this is worth seeing but I don’t think it is as good as some critics say. Maybe Halloween 4 won’t hold up if I re-watch it but I did like it.
