Just watched liked it as a sequel but preferred the previous one I will say this straight off this one is the most goreist of all the Halloween the body count in this one is high. Some of the best parts of the movie is seeing the events of the movie thru the townsfolk of haddenfield who were there during the first film who decided to go vigilante on Michael. Also I like the call backs to the first one with will pattons officer hawkins. Overall good sequel bring on the third part and maybe the end of Michael myers

The best halloween movie?
I loved this movie. There was so much tension all the way through and i enjoyed every second. A lot of that is down to the amazing but eerie score in which we see John Carpenter return for.

Another return is Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode who is great as usual. The whole cast does a good job. With a couple of familiar faces.

This is a direct sequel to original movie. In some ways i like that. It retcons some stupid stuff where they turned Michael Myers into a supernatural entity. But in other ways it means Halloween H20 is pointless and nor canon which i actually enjoyed. It wasnt as scary but it was entertaining.

This movie goes back to scary Michael. He is brutal and for some someone who does not say a single word, speaks volumes with just his presence and proves to be a real threat to anyone he comes into contact with. We even see the original Myers actor, Nick Castle, see a return for a cameo in a window shot which was a nice touch.

Its easily 1 of the creepiest horrors ive seen in a while and 1 of the greats of 2018 and would happily watch again. From what i hear, development is already going for a sequel with a story already written and i am excited. I just hope they can keep that tension.

Will make you Scream.... For one reason or another!
A gave this a whirl as the cast was impressive and a fan of Slasher films. This is a very bizarre series definitely more at the comedy side than horror. Featuring true Scream Queen Jamie Lee Curtis and Emma Roberts of @Scream 4. Almost like a spoof at times. Try thinking of a mix of Clueless, Mean Girls, Scream and Scary Movie. The spoilt rich kid humour won't be for all but the Killer wouldn't look out of place in a real Slasher film and there are a variety of ways he bumps off the brats.

The original Halloween was never supposed to become a franchise, John Carpenter only ever wanted to make one film. Naturally, after the movie’s success, a sequel was greenlit soon after and was rushed into production with a massively increased budget.

Halloween II remains a troubled film. Cleverly set on the same night as its predecessor, it lacked the trademark stalk and kill sequences that made its forbearer such an impeccable addition to the genre.

Upping the budget also meant upping the gore and from here the series started to rely heavily on brutality rather than outright terror. Still, it’s a great film anchored by Jamie Lee Curtis’ brilliant performance as Laurie Strode.

Not as good, but still worth it.
Michael Myers lives, he pursues Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) to the hospital. It's up to Dr. Samuel Loomis (Donald Pleasence) to stop him.

With this sequel John Carpenter served only as a producer, Rick Rosenthal stepped in to direct.
Halloween II still has good to it. The score is good, the acting is mostly good (especially Curtis and Pleasence), and Michael has plenty of screen time which is definitely a pro.

Unfortunately, Halloween II fails to recapture its predecessors suspenseful tone, there are some pointless deaths, and some death scenes are straight up cheesy, ruining what suspense what the film had.

Overall it's still an entertaining slasher, just not anything more then that.

The Halloween franchise has suffered from a disease known as sequelitis. 2002s Halloween Resurrection in particular tried too hard to change the formula and update it for a modern audience; it didn’t work.

Halloween 4 is by no means a masterpiece, but after producers decided, wrongly, to do away with Michael Myers in Halloween III, the return of our masked murderer was a site many fans had been waiting for.

The film itself is fine, though suffers from a lack of Jamie Lee Curtis, but the acting is decent and the story of Michael tracking down his niece is actually really good. It may not have set the box-office alight, but as a sequel, it’s not too bad at all.

Escape From New York is a excellent movie. That combines sci-fi, action, adventure, suspense and thrills.

The plot: In 1997, a major war between the United States and the Soviet Union is concluding, and the entire island of Manhattan has been converted into a giant maximum security prison. When Air Force One is hijacked and crashes into the island, the president (Donald Pleasence) is taken hostage by a group of inmates. Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell), a former Special Forces soldier turned criminal, is recruited to retrieve the president in exchange for his own freedom.

The cast is full of people who have or will work will john carpenter. Kurt Russell, Nick Castle, Tom Atkins, Donald Pleaseance, Jamie Lee Curtis and Nancy Stephens all in this film.

Its a excellent movie.
  
Prom Night (1980)

Halloween 1.5
Fairly forgettable slasher/horror film with a lot of similarities to the original Halloween which had been released only 2 years earlier also starring Jamie Lee Curtis. Maybe at the time, all the now predictable horror cliches had not been overdone as they have been these days, but it was still mostly a bore.

After several children murder another girl in an abandoned building, they decide to keep their crime as a secret. Years later the children are now in high school when a mysterious stranger now decides to look them up and make them pay for the dastardly deed. They don't notice subtle clues immediately as the stranger starting calling them with his "spooky voice". The night of the prom is different though, as he decides to take his revenge on them one at a time after there is plenty of disco dancing of course.

Were audiences easier to please back in 1980? Clearly this was a cash grab of a film coming right on the heels of a much better ground breaking entry into the horror genre. This killer is pretty boring in comparison to others even of the same time period. No Captain Kirk or hockey masks here. The guy just wears all black with a black ski mask.

The soundtrack of disco tunes and the prom dancing scene with Jamie Lee strutting her stuff with her date was the highlight for me. It was also funny, yet not funny to see Leslie Nielsen in a dramatic role. It's hard to believe his career would change forever the same year when Airplane! was released.

I would pass if I were you.

Halloween (1978)
Halloween (1978)
1978 | Horror
The oldest film on my list, John Carpenter’s 1978 masterpiece was the film that began my enjoyment of the slasher genre.

And by enjoyment, I of course mean sitting with my hands in front of my eyes for the majority of the run-time. This seventies film set the standard for the genre with its incredible mix of horror, teenage angst and obviously that iconic tune.

Jamie Lee Curtis became the scream queen of the period and Michael Myers was the antagonist that made you check your wardrobes before going to bed – or was that just me?

It still gives me chills to this day. Sure, it’s been impersonated, remade and has about 100 sequels to its name, but that doesn’t tarnish the memory of one of the greatest horror films ever made.
