It’s horrifying

I know a lot of us enjoy some horror movies now and then. So whether you like seeing a possessed doll or just a serial killer going on a rampage, horror movies are still successful.

Halloween (2018) is one of those must see horror films. I had to add the 2018 to distinguish it from the two other Halloween-films in the same franchise. Now I know a lot of people think that slasher-films are a thing of the past, but just hear me out.

This movie might not contain all the supernatural or paranormal basis of other recent horrors, but it still tells a compelling story. The movie is a major throwback to the horror movies I remember watching as a kid (yup, I used to love horrors) and it also continues s story that got kind of meh over the years.

The return of some of the original characters/cast makes you want to see where the story takes you. I think the director had big shoes to fill and he did it exceptionally. Jamie Lee Curtis back in her original role with some kind of PTSD makes you want more and more of the film.

Michael Meyers might not be the Nun or Annebelle, but he sure knows how to put on a show. The movie is not without films, it has several plot holes and it gets kind of weird at times, but that’s just how the horror genre is. It was definitely made to cater to certain audiences (so do not take your children along).

My Verdict

It has been a while since I last appreciated a horror film and I think this movie has the perfect blend of jump-scares, drama, action and weird effects. I will however not recommend it for everyone, even thought I find it really fun to watch. (Remember, no children allowed)

My Rating: 8.2/10 – Love It
