There is
something definitive about giving the latest Halloween sequel the exact same title as the original 1978
masterpiece. The expectations become even greater with the knowledge that it is
not a remake, but actually a continuation of that first film. The hype leading
up to this film’s release led me to believe it would be something original,
when the reality is a lot closer to any of the early sequels in the 1980s. In a
lot of ways, the kindest thing I can say about Halloween (2018) is that watching it felt somewhat like discovering
an unseen sequel from the franchise’s past. Even with a female-empowered action
climax, I was disappointed by the film’s lack of creativity and innovation.
