- Jordan Jones27 maart 2026Halloween 2018 🎃🔪 - is a wonderful return to form for the Halloween franchise, it's the equivalent of what Star Wars The Force Awakens done for the Star Wars franchise!! Because we hadn't at this point when Halloween 18 came out had a really good Halloween film since H20 imo. And H18 is to date the highest grossing Halloween movie ever, this film made such an impact financially in the slasher subgenre. Also I thought how the movie was lit alongside its slick cinematography really does make for a great Halloween film. There are some very good sequences and moments throghout. I thought the kills were great, specifically the aftermath of the kills which for me makes it all the more effective. And most crucially both Michael Myers & the iconic mask is the best since Halloween 1978. James Jude Courtney's performance as The Shape was phenomenal, he had all of the essential ingredients that made for an absolutely badass and frightening Michael Myers. However Halloween 18 does have its flaws with the dialogue, the overacting from JLC and what I mean with JLC is she went through a traumatic experience for one night in her life which was 40 years prior, now if Halloween 2 1981 was cannon to the David Gordon Green trilogy I would have 💯 bought into why she went all Sarah Connor & Ellen Ripley on us it was way over the top and I love JLC she's the face of this franchise and I absolutely loved her in H20 she was fantastic in that, now if her character as Laurie had been more like the Laurie in H20 then it would have been much more realistic & believable and would have elevated Halloween 18 even more again. Also I didn't like how they made Dr Sartain all fascinated with Michael's evil, the mask and wanted to know what it was like which goes absolutely nowhere and then had him stab and leave Officer Hawkins for dead. I just found that really stupid and pointless because Dr Sartain was killed pretty much straightaway by Michael after he decides to be like Michael. But even with my issues with the film everything that was was good about it, was so good that it massively outweighed the negatives and makes me ultra forgiving on it, which is the reason why I gave Halloween 2018 such a high score. Halloween 2018 🎃🔪 is a film that I highly recommend people watch and especially in spooky season this is a very good Halloween film 👍👍
- LivewireAdmin2 december 2025The opening still goes so hard
- Pascal Bollier19 november 2025Very enjoyable soft reboot/sequel or whatever you wanna call it :-). the little twist at the end was fun. and yes, while the movie is ripe with logical inconsistencies, it delivers enough thrills to warrant its existence. good one!
- GemsDoesWatch24 augustus 2025Way better than the original!
- Chris29 december 2024Surprised, it is worthy of the franchise. Great homage to the history and all things that made the original slasher special. It had it faults, but worth the view.
- jackmeat30 oktober 2025My quick rating - 6.3/10. Forty years after the night that changed horror forever, Halloween (2018) promised to be the definitive reckoning between Laurie Strode and Michael Myers. Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis), now a traumatized survivor turned hardened recluse, has spent decades preparing for Michael’s inevitable return. When he escapes during a transfer from Smith’s Grove Sanitarium, her lifelong paranoia proves justified. But as The Shape (Nick Castle) resumes his silent, relentless killing spree, the real question becomes whether Laurie’s obsession with the Boogeyman has consumed her more than the evil she fears. I went into this with high expectations—waiting until I was back in Australia in 2019 to finally give it a watch—and unfortunately, it wasn’t worth the wait. It’s not a bad movie, especially by slasher standards, but it’s far too monotonous. The pacing plods along, draining much of the tension that made the 1978 original such a nerve-shredder. The setup of Michael being kept alive and transferred feels rushed, glossed over to get to the meat of the story. Laurie’s decades-long trauma and her obsessive preparation for a showdown that, on paper, should’ve been cathartic. Curtis gives it her all, and her portrayal of Laurie as a woman scarred but unbroken is compelling. The problem lies in how the movie treats the horror. The kills are surprisingly restrained, which could’ve worked if the tension compensated—but it doesn’t. Instead, long stretches of characters slowly poking around dark hallways replace any real suspense. A full third of the movie feels like one endless search sequence that halts the momentum entirely. Visually, though, Halloween nails the autumnal atmosphere. The orange-hued leaves, suburban streets, and eerie lighting evoke the spirit of Carpenter’s original. There’s craft here, especially in how the cinematography mirrors the first film’s voyeuristic framing. But the movie itself is rarely scary. Too many scenes show Michael casually strolling into homes and killing strangers without buildup or payoff. The result feels more mechanical than menacing. Michael becomes less a force of evil and more of a bored factory worker clocking in for another night shift of murder. For what it’s worth, it serves as a passable 40-year-later wrap-up (though we all know it didn’t really end there). It looks great, Curtis delivers, and the respect for the original’s tone is clear. But Halloween just doesn’t pack the punch it should’ve. It’s eerie but dull and lifeless—a flick that, much like its masked villain, refuses to die but doesn’t quite know why it’s still walking. We shall see if Michael gets his bearings in Halloween Kills.
- BarsNoHooks6 oktober 2025⭐Bad ⭐⭐Decent ⭐⭐⭐Good ⭐⭐⭐⭐Great✔️ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Epic This was well done and direction the franchise needed. Solid actors and acting. This opener to the new trilogy makes it clear she is not a runner or timid as in the the first 2 films. Solid Flick over all.
- JaredXIII5 oktober 2025A GREAT modern Halloween film! --And a GREAT [direct] sequel to the original Halloween '78! Much better than Halloween II (1981); However, Halloween '18 is followed up by some rather lackluster sequels of it's own. Overall, this is the best Halloween film since the ORIGINAL in '78. Who knows what the following films might have been like if not for the delay in the timeliness caused by the Covid Pandemic.
- The Gutter Monkey22 maart 2025Better than many entries in the franchise. That's not the highest bar, however.
- Zokkiie14 augustus 2025It is a pretty solid sequel — nothing mind-blowing, but a good time if you’re into slashers. Jamie Lee Curtis is great as a tougher, older Laurie, and there are some tense, creepy moments mixed with some gnarly kills. It plays things a bit safe, but it’s still a fun ride.
- Carlos Ibarra10 april 2025It's one of the better sequels in the series, with its callbacks and a fairly solid setup. Some really great moments throughout, but it falls apart by the end, with the last third of the movie being insultingly dumb, pandering and chock-full completely unlikeable characters, aside from Curtis doing her best Sarah Connor impression. As much it tries to pay homage to the original, it fails to do the most important thing: actually be scary, or have any real tension build up, it plays more like an action/thriller. Most people will probably be satisfied enough seeing Jaime Lee Curtis kicking Myers-ass. That's seems to be enough for most. But I'll be damned if that intro doesn't give me chills...
- N811 oktober 2024Forty years after Michael Myers first terrorized Haddonfield, Halloween (2018) returns to prove that some evils never die. This isn't just another sequel; it's a brutal reawakening that honors the original while carving its own bloody path. Jamie Lee Curtis delivers a powerhouse performance as a hardened Laurie Strode, her trauma and determination palpable in every scene. This, coupled with the film's striking cinematography and Carpenter's chilling score, creates an atmosphere of dread that's genuinely unsettling. By side-stepping the convoluted continuity of previous sequels, this film wisely offers a fresh start. However, it occasionally falls into the trap of replicating moments from those very films it seeks to distance itself from. This is most evident in the over-reliance on disposable characters. While the extended sequence with the babysitter (Virginia Gardner) and young boy (Jibrail Nantambu) is a standout, showcasing genuine chemistry and building palpable tension, others feel underdeveloped, serving little purpose beyond increasing the body count. The film sometimes loses sight of its emotional core by focusing on these superfluous victims. Despite these flaws, Halloween (2018) is a worthy successor to the original, delivering visceral thrills and a powerful performance from Jamie Lee Curtis. The brutality of Michael Myers is amplified, making him a truly terrifying force. While it stumbles occasionally, its brutal efficiency and chilling atmosphere prove that Michael Myers remains a force to be reckoned with.
