Forty years after her first encounter with Michael Myers,
Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), who has spent her life preparing for a
re-match with the monster, gets her chance for a showdown.
Writer/Director David Gordon Green, with his Co-Writers
Danny McBride and Jeff Fradley, has created a mostly fun and fitting finale to
the Halloween
franchise.
There is a lot of humor along with the chills. Sometimes, you even find yourself cheering for Mikey. (Or is that just me?)
However, echoing the Geico pre-screening ad/alert to turn
off cell phones, which features a group of Millennials making the wrong
decisions in a horror movie, Halloween’s climactic scene has
Laurie’s daughter (Judy Greer) and grand-daughter (Andi Matichak) trapped in a
cellar where there is a cabinet full of rifles and shotguns, but…well, you’ll
have to groan through it yourself.
If it weren’t for that, Halloween would have been
really good. As it is, I can still give
it an above average 3.8 out of 5.
