7/10

I have to begin by saying that this is a great horror film. It ticks all the right boxes: it's scary, entertaining, bloody and suspenseful. Compared to other sequels and reboots, this one really stands out. This film takes effective elements from other entries of the franchise: it's creepy like 'Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers'. It takes some good fight/action scenes from 'Halloween H20'. Also, it is gory like Rob Zombie's 2007 reboot, but not too much to reach NC-17. The rest of the remaining entries, like 'Halloween: Resurrection", deserve to be dismissed.

Jamie Lee Curtis is a total knock-out this time! She probably has revived as many times as Michael Myers. Her comeback in this film reminds us why she's one of the ultimate scream queens. Even when the story isn't exceptional, it is exciting to go back to Haddonfield for a good 'last' scare. Fans will not be disappointed and new audiences will be surprised. This film is like a good roller coaster ride. It's intense, frightening and fun. So far, it is one of the best horror films of 2018. Totally worth watching.

Score: 7/10
