David Gordon Green’s Halloween went down a storm last month at the highly anticipated slasher sequel’s Toronto International Film Festival premiere, and it seems that the wider critical community is similarly pleased with Michael Myers’ latest outing.
In fact, review-aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes has now declared that the Blumhouse production is officially Certified Fresh, making it the only sequel in this whole franchise to hold the honor. At the time of writing, the new Halloween sits at an impressive score of 87% ‘Fresh’ reviews among a recorded total of 99. To put this percentage into perspective, the 1978 original boasts a superior figure of 93%, but aside from that, the most widely acclaimed entry in the series was previously 1998’s Halloween H20, which holds a middling 52%.
