Review of Halloween

Halloween (I) (2018)
3/10
Lacking in suspense, it's a boring retread we never needed
20 October 2018
It's rare to have a packed theater stand up and "boo!" the end of a film, but that was my audience reaction. There were zero scares, zero suspense and you could tell by the restless silence the audience was kind of bored. That sinking feeling you get 30 minutes into a film when you realize, "This isn't very good," is very present in Halloween 2018. The audience reaction confirmed what I was feeling. The filmmakers brought nothing--NOTHING--new to the franchise. It was cobbled together from H4 and H20. And the ending is terrible--no wonder they had t reshoot it since the original was even worse. But it's made a ton of money so expect a sequel soon. This wasn't needed and was pretty dull.
