Halloween
It has been 40 years since Michael Myers first went on his killing spree attacking Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) & company on Halloween night in Haddonfield, Illinois. In this direct sequel to the 1978 teenage slasher original (ignoring the 9 other installments in between), everyone’s favorite pure evil masked killer once again escapes imprisonment to return home to terrorize the town & in particular the Strode women. Laurie has an estranged daughter Karen (Judy Greer) & a granddaughter Allyson. It’s good old silly stalker fun with the usual jump scares, a sense of humor, uneasy tension, blood, & gore. Of course, you got to overlook all of the obvious plot flaws & convenient coincidences. Disturbingly, there seems to be more than a couple of abnormally behaving people here. Is this destined to the final confrontation or just another chapter? We’ll just have to keep an eye out each Halloween season.
Alien gives it 3 “prepared for this day” stars out of 4.
