Critics Consensus

Halloween largely wipes the slate clean after decades of disappointing sequels, ignoring increasingly elaborate mythology in favor of basic - yet still effective - ingredients.

This is a slasher movie. The plot was pretty weak although the action scenes were of high quality and production. If you're a horror movie fiend, then this is definitely a good watch, but if you're someone who has high quality taste in movies and plot, then just pass this one up.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Boring and plain. Some parts were enjoyable, most were not. The entire movie was very predictable and unoriginal. I was disappointed in the ending, it felt rushed and unfulfilling.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Halloween is [Laurie Strode's] love letter to all of us, wrapped in a most excellent slasher movie.

New Statesman

[Forgets] that a decent Halloween movie should take its cue from Michael Myers: low on chat, high on surprise. Even so, this one can still boast a higher-than-average proportion of treats among its tricks.

A brutal rumination on intergenerational pain, and the ways that male cruelty can make good women bad.

Ultimately the great attention paid to artistry and atmosphere can’t be denied.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

While the movie does have its flaws, I highly recommend for you to see Halloween. It pays homage to the original film but also establishes itself as an excellent follow up to the original

Keith & the Movies

When you have framed yourself as a direct sequel to an all-time horror classic and you’ve wiped out a lot of the series history, it’s easy for us to expect a little more than a standard slasher film.

Rated: 3/5
