Continuity mistake: In the end, when Michael has grabbed Karen's ankle and is trying to pull her down into the basement, Allyson grabs a knife off the floor and stabs him. However, if you watch very closely, you can see she's already holding the knife in one shot before she grabs it. (It's the shot right before Laurie screams "I've got you!" to Karen.) You have to pay attention because it goes by quickly, but you can see Allyson lifting the knife into frame for a split second, even though she doesn't pick it up off the floor until about 15 seconds later.

The best Halloween since the original. This is the real Michael Myers. The way he was played in the movie was amazing. Jamie Lee Curtis was great, her performance blew me away. The kills in the film were pretty awesome. I liked the idea of it taking place 40 years after his original murder rampage on Halloween night. There were some surprises in the film I did not see coming. The film was very well directed. The music in the film was great. The ending was satisfying. I remember watching it in the cinema. I had a good time. They should make another Halloween movie. Michael will be back one day, I know it.
I saw this movie in theaters.
I'll be honest, it's been quite a while since I've seen the other Halloween movies. And I'm not even sure I've seen them all. I know I saw the first two and H20, as well as the first film of the reboot, but other than that I can't recall the others other than reviews on line.
This film I was pleasantly surprised it turned out great! While I've never been a huge fan of the Halloween series, I still appreciated it and what it's done for the horror and slasher genera of films as a whole... both good and bad.
H20 had it's ups and downs as an attempted reboot sequel to the first film. Where as this again reboot sequel seemed to really hit it home. I can't really think of much of anything that I would complain about it. It's a Halloween flick through and through, and delivers on what you'd expect as well as keeping a few surprises and clever ideas.
It really delves into the brutality of Michael and I love it~
It makes me wanna go back and watch the other um... 9 films, in the series. Even the bad ones. It's been a long time, and I'm now more of a fan of the series than before.
I just wish they would fix their damn naming of films. It's already confusing enough that this is the forth part two in the series. Yeah seriously, the fourth part two. XD
Anyways, I thought it was great, took a date to the film. Even though since she was running late I missed the first 10-15 minutes... I still enjoyed it. I'll be sure and rent it when it comes out.
Mistake Status: I picked up on a few continuity issues during the feature... but I forgot them by the time I got out. I just remembered one mistake that stuck out to me. I'll probably revisit this film at some point and will for sure spot some more mistakes when I eventually rent it. But for now, I've just got the one.
From a wonderfully kitschy opening title sequence that hearkens back to the iconic original, through a slew of subversive twists and turns that took me by surprise, David Gordon Green's "Halloween" proves to be the definitive continuation of John Carpenter's classic. Boasting intense scares, buckets of blood and a surprisingly effective sense of self-aware humor, "Halloween" 2018 is not only the best of the "Halloween" sequels - it's arguably one of year's best horror movies, period.
2.5/10.One of the flat most unnecessary sequels/reboots ever.I flat out think they were out of their minds when they made it.I figured the only reason they did it was because of John Carpenter's vanity and Jamie Lee Curtis' desperation for work.Just seeing this character old and like Rambo was laughable.I also found it disrespectful to the previous movies, especially taking the brother sister thing out.Michael's reason for going after Laurie was intriguing and hadn't been done in horror until Halloween 2 (1981). Now they disregard that like trash.Everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves.This was absolutely and positively one of the stupidest movies of 2018.If this hasn't killed off the Halloween mythos then the supposed 2 sequels to this mess will.They shouldn't do them as they've already made one mistake don't do more.Nuts to both John Carpenter and Jamie Lee Curtis, shame on them.
Laurie Strode: He's waited for this night... he's waited for me... I've waited for him.
Trivia: The lines said by Allyson's teacher are spoken by none other than P.J. Soles, who played Lynda in the original "Halloween."
Question: Does anyone know which scenes Nick Castle is playing Michael Myers? I know he is Myers when Laurie tries to shoot him through the window and the after credits breathing was his. But is it him any other times?
Answer: Based on multiple things that I've heard, those are the only two times Nick Castle is on screen. He was mostly just there to help James Jude Courtney get the mannerisms down.
I had read in Halloweenmovies.com and other Michael Myers Instagram accounts that I follow, that was Nick Castle in the closet when the baby sitter Vicky opened the door.

Answer: You didn't mention the opening scene; I'm sure you know it's him up till he gets his mask back, right?
No, it's not. That's James Jude Courtney playing Michael in the unmasked scenes.
