IMDb SYNOPSIS: "Laurie Strode comes to her final confrontation with Michael Myers, the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago."
"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 and granddaughter Allyson."
Directed by David Gordon Green from a screenplay co-written with actor Danny McBride (Alien: Covenant). Jamie Lee Curtis returns as Laurie Strode, Judy Greer plays Karen Strode and Andi Matichak plays her daughter, Allyson.
Master of horror John Carpenter executive produces, provides the musical score and serves as creative consultant on the film, joining forces with cinema’s current leading producer of horror, Jason Blum (Get Out, Split, The Purge, Paranormal Activity).

Jack-O's Review: "Still love this film, Jamie Lee Curtis is great, I love all the references to the franchise, I love the actors, Michael Myers brutality is awesome, John Carpenter's music is fantastic, the jokes are funny, everything is great and I liked the doctor twist yeah Fuck You I liked it. I love the sequels just as much. I think David Gordon Green's trilogy are the best films in the franchise after the first one, not counting Halloween III which is better than all of them." ★★★★★ @trickhorrortreater
More Reviews:
"The plotting doesn’t quite stick the landing, especially the one development that is so flat-out bad I docked an extra half point off, but the core cast is good to great, as is the violence and the gore. Everything really clicks at the finale, which makes sense considering the film exists to pit Laurie against Michael. And in this capacity, Halloween doesn’t disappoint." ★★★★ Bloody-Disgusting.com
"The ultimate showdown between Michael Myers and Laurie Strode is a satisfying one, perhaps even more so than their now-retconned face-off in Halloween H20, as Laurie’s dire emotional state heighten the stakes. Most importantly, David Gordon Green’s Halloween makes Michael Myers scary again." BrokeHorrorFan.com
" ...doesn’t look to reinvent any wheel, but instead to just do what it’s supposed to do very well. Jamie Lee Curtis transforms Laurie into a credible badass, honed by her PTSD into a vigilante on a mission. Judy Greer gets a scene-stealing moment. And Green slips in some outstanding nods and visual cues to the original that had our Midnight audience howling with glee." CinemaBlend.com
"Granted, amid the recent wave of reboots it was naïve to hope this revival would do much more than the minimum, once the name and casting had done the heavy lifting in luring people to the theater. While drawing a straight line back to John Carpenter’s original might be a neat trick, except perhaps for those who are a lot more invested in the franchise than this critic admittedly is, it’s not much of a treat." CNN.com
"Halloween is a shining example of what any other budding slasher reboot or sequel should strive to be, a film that doesn’t just lean on what made the character popular to begin with or explain that character away with backstory to the point that you obliterate the scare factor entirely. This Halloween movie is a near perfect blend of craft, character growth and nostalgia." Grade: A- Collider.com
"Forgiving its flaws, a big body count featuring several familiar and fresh kills, a solid cast of notable names, and a no muss, no fuss approach to slasher storytelling make Halloween probably the second best film in the saga." Score: 80 CultureCrypt.com
"...Halloween (2018) somehow gave me everything I had been hoping for as a fan (who is probably just a little too invested in this series), and nothing I could have ever expected, either. It’s easily the most satisfying time I’ve had with a franchise film in some time, and I think David Gordon Green and everyone involved have created a modern masterpiece that’s just as great as Carpenter’s original." ★★★★★ DailyDead.com
"Bodycount is vastly increased. Gore levels and imaginative kills are amped up to modern day horror norms. And gender and sexual politics have progressed too; young women don’t get offed for banging their boyfriends but one neat scene suggests even Myers hasn’t let the #MeToo movement pass him by either." ★★★★ DenOfGeek.com
"It’s only really let down by one signposted and needless twist that, thankfully, doesn’t linger too long and can be forgiven in the context of everything that’s right about Halloween ... Green and his co-writers have come up with a terrific slasher that could have just as much impact on a new generation as the original did back in 1978. It’s that good." ★★★★ DigitalSpy.com
"Paced very similarly to the original, there are peaks and valleys that allow the shock of deaths to linger before we move on to the next helpless victim. It’s also a chance for the story and characters to develop, which it does quite smoothly. Questions that might arise almost all have good answers, so plot holes are kept to a minimum. And for as intense as it is, Halloween is surprisingly emotional and touching at moments while fiercely hilarious at others." ★★★★½ DreadCentral.com
"Serving as a love letter to the classic Carpenter film, it makes moves towards being about something greater. Sure, it occasionally meanders into some boring territory and starts off with a subplot that doesn’t seem necessary in any way, but the way it captures the essence of the original and marries it to new themes of trauma, family, and learning to let go, is a great way to continue the series." GoombaStomp.com
"There are some effectively nasty kills (this is no PG-13 reboot) and Green’s visual eye often results in some impressive imagery but both the look of the film and the script feel confused. Green can’t seem to decide whether he wants it to be gritty and lo-fi or slick and cinematic and so ends up awkwardly between the two, anything resembling an atmosphere sorely missing." ★★ TheGuardian.com
"David Gordon Green gets to live a fanboy’s dream with Halloween, clearing the franchise of decades of crud and starting over with a sequel that pretends no movies ever happened after John Carpenter’s geek-beloved, genre-launching original ... delivering both fan service and honest-to-god moviemaking of the sort rarely seen in horror spinoffs." TheHollywoodReporter.com
"Green strikes the perfect balance between knowing, tongue-in-cheek nostalgia and untrammelled horror. The film has some very nasty moments indeed. Green takes a sadistic pleasure in showing Myers dragging his victims by their feet or impaling them as if they are trophy kills from some hunting expedition." ★★★★ Independent.co.uk
"There’s no getting around some of the messy staging and clunky dialogue that keeps Halloween from reaching greater heights for the bulk of its running time. But Carpenter’s own Halloween was itself a bumpy ride, made on the cheap, but carried along by the director’s firm grasp on his potent themes. The new one works overtime to keep them intact, while communing with the first installment in every possible way." Grade: B- IndieWire.com
"While gory, Green’s film is more like Carpenter’s original than the slasher clones that followed it, opting for a classier approach. There’s no shortage of violence, but it’s not gratuitous. Still, it gets very dark indeed, with seemingly no one on the safe list when Myers starts doing his thing ... this is a lean, mean, old-school slasher..." 8/10 Joblo.com
"Director Green and co-writers Danny McBride and Jeff Fradley give Michael Myers his due... but they also know Jamie Lee Curtis’s Laurie Strode is much more worthy of our attention. It takes a little too long to get going, but the only thing that really matters is whether this new Halloween can deliver a satisfying climax, and it absolutely does." NowToronto.com
" ...there’s a difference between referencing something and actually incorporating it into a new vision. The former is just an echo, and that’s often what I felt watching Halloween—the echo of the original is loud, but that’s ultimately hollow compared to sequels that truly build on what came before instead of just expressing how much they love it." ★★ RogerEbert.com
"David Gordon Green has reframed the Halloween series in a new and interesting way that is sure to sate the bloodlust of the hardcore fans who may still be recovering from the disappointment of installments past. It’s a nasty film that doesn’t shy away from giving the audience what it wants to see, I just wish that it was more interested in surprising than appeasement." Screen Anarchy
"Fans will not be disappointed. Green has created a film that is alarmingly brutal – a relentless spook show where the boogeyman runs rampant, obliterating everyone and everything in his path. Here is where Halloween is most successful: it makes Michael Myers scary again. The masked killer is utterly inhumane here..." /Film rating: 8 out of 10 SlashFilm.com
" ...Green has pulled off what he set out to do, tying up the mythology that Carpenter and company established, while delivering plenty of fresh suspense — and grisly-creative kills ... and it does so with style, borrowing several of Carpenter’s classic devices..." Variety.com
