Halloween (I) (2018)
5/10
A lot of build up to not much pay off.
12 January 2019
This whole movie comes across as a final showdown between Lori Strode and Michael Meyers. However, it spends far too much time doing other things that have nothing to do with this concept. Without spoiling it, there are several character stories that do absolutely nothing to further the plot which again is supposedly based around the core showdown.

This movie is like driving to a destination you're looking forward to seeing. You know it could take 20 minutes to get there but instead you spend an hour making random turns down short dead end streets. When you finally arrive at your destination, its lackluster and short-lived, leaving you unsatisfied and frustrated by how long it took to get there.

There's a couple of nice kills but other than that, there isn't much here. The atmosphere is nice and the audio is great but that's not enough to fix this tease.
