Halloween (2018)	comment	Halloween, which was produced by Miramax and Blumhouse Productions and distributed by Universal Pictures, is the eleventh film in the Halloween franchise, released just in time for the 40th anniversary of the first film.The film had been in development since May 2016. John Carpenter, who directed and co-wrote the original film, is an executive producer and composed the musical score, making this the first film in the Halloween franchise he has been creatively involved with since 1982's Season of the Witch. David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express) signed onto the project as director as well as co-writer (alongside Danny McBride) in February 2017. It is a direct sequel to the 1978 original, which means it ignores every other film in the franchise—including Rob Zombie's remake duology.40 years have passed since Michael Myersâ€™ Halloween killing spree in Haddonfield, Illinois. And while Michael has been held safely in the Smithâ€™s Grove Sanitarium ever since, Laurie Strode, still shell-shocked from the experience, has been preparing for his return for the past four decades, becoming estranged from her family in the process. But sure enough, Laurieâ€™s fears prove to be not unfounded: when the bus carrying Michael to a new facility crashes, he starts making his way back to Haddonfield to continue what he started all those years agoâ€¦Original star Jamie Lee Curtis returns to the franchise as Laurie. Nick Castle, who played Michael in the original movie, also reprises his famous role (for small cameos, that is — Michael's breathing sound is him and the moment Laurie first sees Michael is him, while the rest of the film has Michael played by James Jude Courtney). As for new characters, Judy Greer plays Laurie's daughter Karen while Andi Matichak plays her granddaughter Allyson.In June 2019, it was announced that David Gordon Green would return to write the script and direct the sequel, and Curtis, Greer, and Matichak would be reprising their roles. The following month, two sequels, Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends, were announced by Carpenter himself, the former of which was released October 15, 2021 while the latter was released on October 14, 2022.note The sequels were originally scheduled for release in 2020 and 2021 respectively but were delayed because of the COVID-19 Pandemic. These films will set an end to the saga of Michael Myers and Laurie Strode.Previews: Trailer. Trailer 2. International Trailer.

Halloween (2018) / int_10134c97	type	Artistic License â€“ Gun Safety
Halloween (2018) / int_10134c97	comment	Artistic License â€“ Gun Safety: Averted. Laurie is shown having good trigger discipline and when Hawkins inadvertently sneaks up on her, she doesn't shoot him, just gives him a light Pistol Whip in case someone other than Michael was behind her. Karen is also shown avoiding Friendly Fire in a particularly tense moment where she didn't know if her mom or Michael was going to appear at the cellar entrance; she only fires when she sees Michael, not at whoever was coming into view. Hawkins is shown using the Center Axis Relock stance while searching Julian's house for The Shape. The only time gun safety isn't followed is in the case of the kid who grabs a rifle and shoots at a person who scares him (Dr. Sartain) without seeing if he's dangerous or not. It's justified in this case since he's a kid, and while it's implied he's gone on hunting trips with his dad before, right now he's clearly scared by the situation and his dad disappearing and is starting to panic.

While the original saw him stalk his prey before acting, following people around town for hours, watching people through windows, and being voyeuristic on the sexcapades of teenagers, all before killing anybody, this film has him waste no time murdering as many people as he can as quickly and efficiently as he can. Gone are the days of creeping suspense; this movie is sheer brutality.

Halloween (2018) / int_19ebe383	type	Never Trust a Trailer
Halloween (2018) / int_19ebe383	comment	Never Trust a Trailer: The trailer made it look like Michael Myers would kill Hawkins after the former popped out from behind a doorframe, unseen by the latter. That scene isn't in the actual movie; instead, Hawkins is (seemingly) killed by Dr. Sartrain. The trailers also imply that, like in previous incarnations, Michael has a particular interest in Laurie, and returns to Haddonfield specifically to finish her off after all these years. In the film itself, Michael goes to the town with no clear target in mind and proceeds on a random killing spree. It's only after he's brought to Laurie's rather isolated house by events outside his control that he tries to kill her. This calls back to the original film note aka the only other entry in the series that this one shares continuity with , however, where Michael had no real reason for pursuing Laurie and began hunting her on essentially a whim. Likewise, some of the trailers use footage of the scrapped original ending, which sees Michael and Laurie engaging in a knife fight outside of Laurie's house. More subtle, but some of the trailers showed Allyson getting attacked by Michael in the back of the police cruiser. While Allyson and Michael do end up in the back of a cruiser together, Michael instead ignores Allyson and chooses to focus his ire on Dr. Sartain.

Laurie breaks into her daughter's house to chastise her for the lack of decent security there, but doesn't explain that Michael's escaped before they kick her out (she mentions a bus crash, but gives no context). Fortunately, they find out before he comes after them anyway, thanks to Laurie warning the police after she and Hawkins catch Michael red-handed at another murder scene.

Halloween (2018) / int_1f6983f7	comment	Ambiguous Situation: Much of what's going on with Michael. He doesn't take specific pains to try and track Laurie down, simply picking up his indiscriminate killing from where he left off forty years ago. And in the end, he's FORCED into confronting Laurie. Granted, when he does recognize her, he acts on it immediately and spends the rest of the movie doing his damnedest to kill Laurie and her family. The movie puts forward theories as to why he does what he does and how that long-ago night has affected him but cements none of them, and Michael's final long stare up through the trap is open to interpretation. It's left unclear if Dr. Sartain deliberately released Michael or is simply taking advantage of his escape for his twisted idea of a case study. For that matter, did Michael himself cause the crash, or was that an accident?

Halloween (2018) / int_2a195285	comment	Revolvers Are Just Better: Laurie believes so, preferring them over semi-automatic handguns because they don't jam. Her old-fashioned gun preferences seem to extend to rifles and shotguns as well, with her substantial arsenal being dominated by bolt-action rifles and pump-action shotguns with no semi-automatics (such as AR-15s or AK-47s) in sight. This was because Jamie Lee Curtis is a staunch supporter of gun control in real life, and felt that, if the film was going to have Laurie save the day using guns, then it shouldn't glamorize the sort of rapid-firing, high-capacity weapons that have become associated with mass shootings.

Halloween (2018) / int_3184dfaa	comment	This seems to be the reason Michael goes after Laurie so tenaciously following his escape, either for the wounds she inflicted on him 40 years ago or the simple fact that she got away. (Never mind the fact that she was simply defending herself and he tried to kill her first.) Dr. Sartain hypothesizes that this defeat shook Michael's own perception of himself as an apex predator and that killing Laurie is the only way he can escape his own fear of becoming prey.

Michael may be willing to kill pre-teen kids, but he simply walks past an infant baby when he's on a killing spree after pondering it for a second. This being Michael, it may have less to do with moral qualms and more to do with his twisted whims; perhaps he didn't kill the baby because he just didn't feel like it, or because the infant would be boring prey — no running, fighting back or even fear.

It is also shown when it takes him considerably longer to recover from being hit by Hawkins' SUV, whereas in similar incidents in previous films, he just walks them off in mere minutes. invokedWord of God is that this was meant to show that, unstoppable killing machine or not, Michael is still a physically normal man with no supernatural powers and has weaknesses.

Halloween (2018) / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
Halloween (2018) / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: With the film taking a more stripped-back approach that jettisons the supernatural aspects of prior sequels, there's a lot of this throughout. In the first film, Michael got speared in the eye by Laurie with an unraveled coat hanger. In the 4-6 and H20 continuities, this is treated as a minor injury and Michael can see fine. (Both continuities also keep the second film canonical, which has another infamous Eye Scream moment happen to Michael, namely him getting shot in both eyes by Laurie.) However, in this reality, Michael is permanently blinded in that eye. In this film, one of the major changes to the film's continuity is that Michael was caught shortly after getting shot off the the balcony at the end of the first film. He's incarcerated at Smith's Grove again, but the people at Smith's Grove have now taken heed to Sam Loomis' warnings and have had Michael heavily guarded for 40 years in order to prevent another massacre. Laurie's decision to give Karen The Spartan Way of childhood is an attempt to protect her in the event of Michael Myers breaking out. Do the authorities accept this? Absolutely not. Karen is taken away from Laurie, as understandably, teaching a young child how to fight and kill a person, even if that person is a psychopathic Serial Killer, immediately results in child welfare agents taking Karen away. Karen grows to have a severe love/hate relationship with her mother because of this. Laurie goes to see Michael being loaded onto a prison bus for transfer, bringing a handgun with her and apparently planning to kill him. The very sight of him triggers her PTSD, and although she leaves without confronting him, she doesn't last long before breaking down in tears. Badass though she may be, Laurie was traumatized by Michael, and seeing him just makes matters worse. When Laurie sees Michael in the mirror after he kills Vicky and takes a shot, he's left with only one way out of the building - down a lit stairwell in front of a police officer who fully intends to kill him. It's a reminder that even The Shape can't Stealth Hi/Bye his way out of a situation where there's someone armed in the next room when he's NOT hidden by darkness, and he only gets away with it because Hawkins is distracted by the discovery of Vicky's corpse. In something unrelated to Michael, Allyson discovers her boyfriend Cameron kissing another girl. The ensuing fight promptly results in them breaking up. Oscar accompanies Allyson home, the two bond, and Oscar tries to kiss her. In most horror movies, usually there is reciprocation. Does that happen here? No. Allyson is pretty angry and makes it very clear that just because she broke up with her boyfriend, does not mean she will have a new boyfriend just like that, let alone go to kissing that fast. When Oscar encounters Michael, he tries to climb over a spiked fence to escape him. The thing is is that it's a spiked fence and Oscar has to be careful climbing it yet be fast enough to escape Michael, but then, his cape gets snagged on the fence, there's the fact he needed help previously to climb another fence since he's overweight and lacks upper body strength, he's half-drunk during all this time, and it's dark on top of everything else. Thanks to all these inconvenient factors, he's fucked and Michael ends up killing him rather easily and quickly. Michael Myers still possesses some of his supernatural aspects, such as his strength and endurance. However, the fact that he is now 61 years old means he can no longer afford to attack people head-on and promptly waits for his moments. Probably best seen after he kills Vicky, and Laurie shows up to take a shot at him while the armed Hawkins is in the other room - he straight up bolts rather than confront them directly, not even bothering to hide as he flees. Laurie has a truckload of dummies that she puts masks on for her to shoot in the event Michael returns. Apparently, in a room upstairs is where she keeps them. However, when she and Michael enter that room, Laurie is practically scared to death because all the dummies look like Michael, and he takes advantage to pull a Nobody Here but Us Statues that allows him to surprise her. In the original film, a hysterical Laurie banging on the door of a nearby house and screaming for help is treated as a Halloween prank, and she's ignored. Here, Allyson doing the same thing on a night where Michael's known to be on the loose immediately gets her a flood of attention and aid from multiple people, creating a knot of people around her that probably discourages Michael from going after her any further. It's pointed out openly that five people being murdered would be considered a much bigger deal in 1978 than in 2018, where things like bombings and mass shootings leaving death tolls of over 100 is not unheard of, and the fast pace modern media moves at would ensure whatever media attention it did receive would be short-lived at best outside the local level anyway. Fighting an escaped mental patient with five murders under his belt (hundreds more in other continuities) and nigh-superhuman strength will not end well for you. The only two people that survive attacking Michael are Hawkins and Laurie, however it was either because both averted a direct assault or took advantage of their environment and situation. This film takes a more realistic approach to kids being in horror films. They can be easy victims (yeah, Michael killed a kid), but in the face of danger, they're far more likely to get the fuck out of there than try to fight Michael Myers, a six foot maniac with a knife.

Halloween (2018) / int_40cc0c7e	comment	Bittersweet Ending: The Strode women outfight and outsmart Michael, trapping him in the basement of Laurie's house, which they then set on fire. Separately, Dr. Sartain is stopped and killed by Michael. However, Karen's husband Ray is dead (and his body destroyed by the fire) and Allyson is thoroughly traumatized by the night's events. On top of that, the final shot of Laurie's basement (wherein Michael is nowhere to be seen) and a post-credits scene (wherein Michael's breathing is audible) imply that Michael survived once more, which is confirmed in the opening of Halloween Kills. Also, Hawkins (until Kills reveals he didn't actually die) and many other residents are still dead.

Special mention has to go to his somehow waking up and remasking himself in the police car with Dr. Sartain and Allyson without them noticing when both are less than two feet away from him. Laurie, as well. Badass she may be, but her somehow acquiring some of the Shape's characteristics is truly out of the ordinary, culminating in her pulling a Stealth Hi/Bye on Michael near the end that seems to catch even him off guard.

Here, while many characters (particularly the Aaron/Dana pairing, Dave, and Oscar) may have some negative qualities, the film makes sure to show enough positive elements — Dana's Nice Girl status, Aaron and Dave rushing to defend their partners (especially when Aaron knows how dangerous Michael actually is), Oscar's genuine regret at misreading the situation with Allyson — to make sure that their brutal deaths at Michael's hands are NOT viewed as deserved in any way. That said, Dr. Sartain definitely counts...

Halloween (2018) / int_92f674e5	comment	Revenge: This seems to be the reason Michael goes after Laurie so tenaciously following his escape, either for the wounds she inflicted on him 40 years ago or the simple fact that she got away. (Never mind the fact that she was simply defending herself and he tried to kill her first.) Dr. Sartain hypothesizes that this defeat shook Michael's own perception of himself as an apex predator and that killing Laurie is the only way he can escape his own fear of becoming prey. However, itâ€™s also hinted in the movie that this is merely a motivation everyone projects on Michael to make him more human and/or to understand his mind. For the most part, Michael appears unconcerned about Laurie — when he gets his mask back, he immediately goes on a killing spree unconnected to her. It takes time for him to seemingly recognize her when they meet again for the first time, and only goes after Laurie when, for the most part, outside forces he has no control over bring him near her household. Considering Michael's out-of-character behaviour after Laurie takes a potshot at him — he flees immediately, not even bothering with his usual stealth techniques, and notably doesn't kill Hawkins despite his being distracted by uncovering Vicky's corpse — there's a chance Sartain's theory was correct, in that if Michael considers Laurie as much The Dreaded to him as he is to her, he was actually fleeing the one person he knows can hurt him rather than confront her directly.

By the point of this scene he had already killed 5 or 6 people, none of them black. Julian escapes becoming one of Michael's victims after he kills Vicky.

This includes surviving the initial bus crash, taking a crowbar swing to the face, being shot in the arm, being rammed by a full-speed SUV, having two fingers taken off with a shotgun, getting shot with a hunting rifle, and finally being stabbed. The film ends with him being set on fire, but even then doesn't show the body. There's some vague implication in the end credits that he may have gotten out from the burning building he was trapped in. God knows how...

As mentioned in the Mythology Gag section, Allyson debunking the "Michael as Laurie's brother" idea as something people in Haddonfield made up can be seen as an internal version of this, given that the idea's own creator, John Carpenter, eventually came to regard it as a huge mistake.invoked

Halloween (2018) / int_bf72d5e8	type	The Spartan Way
Halloween (2018) / int_bf72d5e8	comment	Laurie's decision to give Karen The Spartan Way of childhood is an attempt to protect her in the event of Michael Myers breaking out. Do the authorities accept this? Absolutely not. Karen is taken away from Laurie, as understandably, teaching a young child how to fight and kill a person, even if that person is a psychopathic Serial Killer, immediately results in child welfare agents taking Karen away. Karen grows to have a severe love/hate relationship with her mother because of this.

She does so, but the door won't close all the way, and she tries without success... three times. She opens it to see what's jamming it. And guess who steps out with a knife raised? Karen receives one from Laurie, in an attempt to reprimand her for a lack of home security.

Halloween (2018) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: In addition to the numerous Mythology Gags to the rest of its franchise, the film also gets in a nod to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974). The film ends with Laurie, Karen, and Allyson riding away in the back of a pickup truck, just like how Sally Hardesty escaped Leatherface. The police in the film are introduced playing a Back to the Future pinball game, with one quoting Huey Lewis and the Newsâ€™ â€œThe Power of Loveâ€� from the film. Sondra the caretaker mentions comedian Bernie Mac and blues legend Muddy Waters as two of the famous Illinois residents buried in a nearby cemetery. Like in the first two films, some classic media can be seen on TV in various houses Michael enters; in this case, thereâ€™s an episode of Voyagers! and the movie Repo Man.

Michael's almost supernatural ability to survive damage is also shown multiple times throughout the film. invokedWord of God states it was a deliberate choice to portray Michael this way, leaving the nature of his ability to survive injuries that would kill anyone else ten times over ambiguous.

Early in the film, Allyson, fed up with the non-existent relations between her mother and grandmother, bluntly tells Laurie to forget Michael and get over what happened to her. In fairness, she's by far the most sympathetic to Laurie at that point in the film, and she's about to get a crash course in precisely why her grandmother fears Michael so much...

On top of that, he's hiding behind a tree that only covers his face; that's the equivalent of a grown man hiding behind a lamp. It may be justified because it's Halloween day and people simply assume Michael is wearing a costume.

Interestingly, this is used by Michael himself when he is faced with a situation where Laurie is standing outside a house with a shotgun and Hawkins is searching around Julian's bedroom after finding Vicky's body. Whereas the character is known for pulling the Stealth Hi/Bye maneuver frequently, he is actually shown walking quickly past Hawkins down the stairs, out the back door and away from the house, at which point Laurie sees and fires at him before he disappears.

In the actual film, though, their battle is fought to a stalemate. Michael stabs Laurie in the stomach and throws her off a balcony, but she manages to survive, sneak back into the house, and then, with the help of Karen and Allyson, traps The Shape in the basement, which she sets alight after filling it with gas, intending to burn Michael to Hell. The moment is framed as climactic and cathartic, but befitting Michael's character, the final moments of the film implicitly confirm his survival. The point is, the saga of Michael Myers and Laurie Strode isn't over...yet, as it will continue on in Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends.
