I love that the film ignores every other sequel and reboot and is a direct sequel to John Carpenter's superior original Halloween. The Shape in this film isn't related to Jamie Lee Curtis' character, and he has no hidden agenda, no childhood trauma, he is just pure evil - and kills with casual vengeance, determined and quick with victims chosen both at random and very calculated. Plus, the showdown at the end is worth it - and maybe, just maybe, we'll have more to come.

The resurrecting jack-o'-lantern in its title sequence says it all. The "Halloween" franchise is back with a vengeance, as well as a few new surprises.

This latest reboot of a worn out horror franchise admirably emulates the style of the original classic slasher. Unfortunately, this puts the script in a corner that seems afraid to try new fresh ideas. The first act is actually quite good. It is suspenseful and well paced. The acting is good. Jamie Lee Curtis is giving it her all as a woman both tough-as-nails and terrified out of her wits. Then halfway through, the movie retreads familiar territory. Teens getting bumped off; the townspeople up in arms; a final battle to the death. You've seen this before. It's perhaps more effective than other installments of the series but you are left w/o a doubt of how it will end. Kudos to David Gordon Green and Danny McBride of all people for trying.

David Gordon Green’s sequel to the 1978 classic is an okay film — It doesn’t really succeed as a horror film, but it presents an interesting evolution of Jamie Lee Curtis’ character Laurie Strode. Her confrontations with Michael Myers are some of the best moments of the film — they’re thrilling and effective — but unfortunately they don’t happen so often. It has its good moments, but ultimately it’s a fine film that could have been better.
