There are humorous moments too. The deaths are horrifyingly creative and the most shocking since 'Halloween H20', the gore not going overboard on the shock value or looking cheap, not distracting at all. The beginning is unsettlingly tense and Michael Myers has not been this freaky in a long time. Some moments have surprising heart and the scares made me jump and bite my nails. It was great for the film to return to the franchise's roots and treat the original with respect, while with enough new touches of its own.
One of the better examples this year in attempts to cater to everybody. Didn't find myself annoyed by the characters and there was personality to them to stop them from being bland. Jamie Lee Curtis has still got it, none of what made her character great is lost or forgotten, and Nick Castle is supremely terrifying as Myers. Concluding, didn't bowl me over but found myself enjoying it all the same.
This one's notable for ignoring all of the silly conspiracy threads and theories of the many sequels, instead going back to basics. Jamie Lee Curtis is back as Laurie Strode, a kind of survivalist in the Sarah Connor mould, waiting for Myers to come back as she knows he will. The rest of the film is well made by Blumhouse Productions, quite classily directed and taking time to build suspense over endless gore effects, which I appreciated.
There are problems, like boring youthful characters, random unnecessary humour and wonky writing at times, but the scare scenes manage to be ominous and I did like the way the climax keeps on referencing events of the original. Using only the original movie as canon, it's been 40 years since Michael Myers' rampage. He has been mute under the care of Dr. Sartain in Smith's Grove Sanitarium. True crime podcasters Aaron Korey and Dana Haines have come to entice Michael to speak by bringing along his mask.
Laurie Strode Jamie Lee Curtis has become an obsessive survivalist. I think I expected too much. It's obvious that these guys have great respect for the franchise. The mechanics of the movie is well done and respectful of the original. There are issues with the writing. First, the retrieval of his mask cannot be an accident.
It's convenience of story writing that annoyed me when it could have been a great way to show Michael's relentlessness. He should attack a motel where the two podcasters are staying. He could go from room to room murdering everyone until he found his mask.
There is more horror in his relentless ruthlessness. In this movie, it's a happy accident. As for Laurie's house, I have issues with its construction.
She's supposed to be obsessed with this inevitable situation and it's not as well prepared as it could be. First, there are a lot of windows. The walls seem thin. There should be one button to lock up the whole building and the windows again should be blocked by lowering metal bars. It makes no sense to set up basement to burn which seems to be more problematic than realistic. She should have better guns. She should have body armor.
Did he bring in the mannequins or did Laurie have a bunch of them in the home? I do appreciate some of call-backs. This is a good horror. I'm just set for something great and it's a little disappointing. Login Register. Loading, please wait. Quality: All p p p 3D.
