The unnerving creativity of the kills are still present, and its atmosphere reaches stalactite coldness during the film’s riveting climax, especially in its execution of silence and commendable restraint on jump scares.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 14, 2024

Ultimately the great attention paid to artistry and atmosphere can’t be denied.

While the movie does have its flaws, I highly recommend for you to see Halloween. It pays homage to the original film but also establishes itself as an excellent follow up to the original

When you have framed yourself as a direct sequel to an all-time horror classic and you’ve wiped out a lot of the series history, it’s easy for us to expect a little more than a standard slasher film.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 21, 2022

The best directed film since Carpenter's original showcasing cinematography and stylish sequences the genre rarely sees. Myers is also the scariest he's been since 78'. The script and characters let down what comes close to being blood-soaked excellence.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 19, 2022

The material's bizarrely retconned conceptualization, absurd twists, and overall fanfiction quality are self-consciously clever, distractingly so.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 8, 2022

The best Halloween installment since the original movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 24, 2021

Halloween breathes new life into this scattershot franchise.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 19, 2021

More entertaining than its predecessor, but only at the expense of ingenuity and suspense. Because nothing here is really shocking or meaningful.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Oct 9, 2021

Episode 13: Raison D'être

| Original Score: 40/100 | Sep 1, 2021

Just a typical slasher that only pays lip service to our current moment.

| Original Score: B- | Aug 10, 2021

This Halloween tells a new story within the framework of everything memorable about the original film -- and in the end, that's what any good sequel should strive to do.

| Jul 13, 2021

If this is Lee Curtis' final Halloween film, and that's far from a safe bet, it's a fitting goodbye. It's not a match for her first outing, and it was never likely to be, but 40 years on it's the closest any sequel has come.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 28, 2021

Halloween is [Laurie Strode's] love letter to all of us, wrapped in a most excellent slasher movie.

| Mar 11, 2021

Both a reboot and a bloody love letter to the director who started it all, John Carpenter.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 1, 2021

Halloween (1978) is an incredible film with a lot of subpar sequels. HALLOWEEN (2018) is no exception.

| Jan 28, 2021

Erasing all the films that followed the original, this one gives us a truly connected and worthy continuation of the story, full of nostalgia.

| Jan 2, 2021

This endeavor would have been far more compelling had there not been so many prior theatrical chapters and remakes.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 6, 2020

The best sequel in the film's 11 movie franchise.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 5, 2020

After four decades, "Halloween" finally gets the sequel it deserves, providing a scary good time for slasher horror fans by faithfully following the formula. This 11th installment asks us to forget the silly sequels and pretend like they never happened.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 29, 2020
