"As just about every horror fan knows, there have been a bunch of sequels to the first Halloween movie from back in 1978, which was a surprise hit in it's day and launched one of the longest running franchises in horror history. However, since none of 'em have been able to match the success of the first one, particularly on a critical level, it felt like the horror of it's iconic slasher's "visage" was being slightly diminished with each subsequent release. So, in an effort to bring the franchise"

"22.6. Netflix Lähtökohdiltaan muita jatko-osia, uusintoja, toisintoja ja niiden jatko-osia asteen mielenkiintoisempi, ainakin näiden vuosien jälkeen, hylätessään kaiken paitsi alkuperäisen tapahtumat. Mutta yhtälainen gimmick tuo on saada Michael Myers herätettyä henkiin viihdyttyvän, mutta auttamattoman tyhmän ja tarpeettoman elokuvan vuoksi."
“I kept putting off watching 2018's "Halloween" because every single Halloween movie with Michael Myers in it has disappointed and not once lived up the original. Though he is one of the most persistently popular characters in horror history, Michael Myers is also one so grossly misunderstood and misused that it has rendered every attempt at a sequel flawed or downright awful with Myers himself a pale imitation of the version we saw in the original.
As time passed it became a downright chore to watch a new installment or attempt to remake or reboot the series. When it was announced that there would be yet another attempt to correct the past mistakes and make a direct sequel to the first, I was not particularly excited. Not even when John Carpenter (writer/director/composer of th” read more
“To be honest, when I heard that they were coming up with a new reboot/remake/sequel for this franchise, I can’t say I was really excited but since it had been rather well received (it was even the most successful Halloween movie ever released at the box-office), I thought I might as well check it out. Well, first of all, even if this movie was labelled as a direct sequel to the first ‘Halloween’ movie, I thought that most of it was still pretty much a remake though. I mean, sure, the intro with these 2 journalists was definitely something new and it was probably the most interesting part of this movie but, from the moment Jason managed to escape, it pretty much became a remake in my opinion. Still, it was fairly entertaining and it was especially nice that they used the iconic tune w” read more
"15.11. 2019 This is the most unoriginal film ever. Why was this made? Once again the masked killer escapes from the police and starts killing people for no apparent reason. Even if you've seen only one of these kind of films before you know what's going to happen. The film suggests that these might be the last film in the series which doesn't convince me, especially since they are already making another sequel. So these filmmakers are telling us that the bad guy is actually still alive and ther"
