Halloween

Halloween 2018 brings us a new prospective of the franchise, disregarding all of the sequels from Halloween II to Resurrection. Was this right direction to take franchise in? Absolutely! At first when I learned this was the direction they were taking, I was... not skeptical, but more concerned at the idea of erasing all of the previous sequels. But thankfully, I had no reason to worry. It's a great alternative take on the story.

For anyone who hasn't seen this film, I will advise to keep in mind that only the events of the original Halloween (1978) have taken place prior to the events in Haloween 2018. I'm not giving away spoilers here, just providing information you will need to know to understand what this movie is all about. Although it becomes pretty obvious when watching the film, but I'd rather you have an idea of the basic story.

Now of course, there's going to be fans of the Halloween franchise that are more loyal to the original sequels (well... some of them) and that's understandable. We've grown up with them. So the idea of another sequel that dismisses all of the previous sequels can be a hard pill to swallow. But if you love your horror, I'd always recommend Halloween 2018.

The soundtrack is absolutely incredible, but should that come as a shock? No, it's John Carpenter for crying out loud. But he sure provides something unexpected. Jamie Lee Curtis is back! And Michael Myers is brutally awesome!
