Halloween Movie Review

The time for Halloween is almost upon us and it arrived a little early in the form of a movie. Halloween is the direct sequel to the original 1978 slasher film ignoring everything from Halloween 2 on down. Does it live up to its height? Let’s find out.

Let me start off by saying that I really enjoyed this movie. It’s rare these days that a horror movie can entertaining these days though it seems like it’s slowly turning around. Everything from the acting to the pacing was great in my opinion.

Jamie Lee Curtis is still great as Laurie Strode and you really get to see how much Michael Myers has traumatized her character for the past 40 years.

The eeriness Of Michael Myers is still there as well, even after being locked up for 40 years and still never speaking he still sits there waiting for his chance to escape and kill again. One aspect that they removed from the franchise is the sibling relationship between Michael and Laurie which makes his obsession to kill her that much more creepy and frightening.

One thing that this movie does really good is make callbacks to the original film and some of its sequels. To people getting pinned to walls with knives to eerie creepy ghost costumes, it’s definitely a nostalgia trip.

However I will say my most favorite part in this movie and is the little black boy in this movie! All I have to say is, I want my future son to be just like him when it comes down to danger!

All in all Halloween was a very fun and enjoyable film, will there be a sequel? Who knows, but for now this maybe the best one since the original film, I give it a good 9/10! If you haven’t seen it yet, go see it soon!
