Coming off a week of two fantastic original movies in First Man and
Bad Times at the El Royale, we encounter yet another reboot. Yet, this
one again is something special, another slap in the face to the negative
connotation the term has taken on. With his latest work, Halloween,
David Gordon Green, and his cast create a very special kind of reboot,
one that acknowledges its source material while also moving in a new
direction for a new generation of horror fans.
Taking place exactly thirty years after the original, the film opens
with two journalists attempting to go and talk to an aged Michael Myers,
the infamous serial killer known for the string of teen murders he
committed on one fateful night in 1978. In this interaction, we gain a
glimpse into the mind of a killer who clearly has unfinished business.
At the same time, an old Laurie Strode, who managed to escape Michael in
1978, prepares for Halloween night when he is to be transferred to a
high-security facility and locked away once and for all. On the night of
the designated transfer, however, Michael escapes, heading on a gory
path to take his final retribution once and for all and kill the one
that got away.
2018 has been a hell of a year for the genre. With a plethora of
fantastic originals and remakes making their way to the screen, it has
proven to be a great time for horror filmmakers. And Halloween is no
exception. Attempting to reboot a horror classic has proven to be tough
in the past, but David Gordon Green and his co-writer Danny McBride have
created something rather praise-worthy. The script is a real zinger,
filled with all the Carpenter-esque creeps and quips that made the
original such a landmark film. Yet, even in taking from the original
formula, they managed to write something that feels like a whole new
step. The film really builds on its predecessor, creating its own new
atmosphere out of the classic mold.
The cast is once again fantastic. Jamie Lee Curtis dives right back
into her role as the original scream queen as though she never even left
it, giving fans and new audience members alike an older, tougher
version of the classic character. The various actors who take on the
role of The Shape are wonderful as well, really capturing the chilling,
inhuman movement and basic nature of the iconic slasher. The film also
contains a fantastic performance by up-and-coming actress Andi Matichak.
As the teenage granddaughter of Strode, she embodies what one could
argue is the future of the scream queen archetype, portraying a strong
young woman.
