 Going on guys, welcome back to the channel critical overlord here. This is gonna be my spoiler review for Halloween 2018 So if you have not seen the film, I recommend not watching this video You should go watch that movie first and then come back to this video after you have watched the film Halloween 2018 came out last weekend. You guys know I did my spoiler free review This is gonna be my spoiler review So the film picks up 40 years after the original film that came out in 1978 Michael Myers after he got shot six times By dr. Loomis's character Donald Pleasants played by Donald Pleasants He was apprehended and taken back to Smith's World Sanitarium again One of the characters that was on scene that night that Sheriff detective hot or deputy Hawkins, I think he's now Deputy Hawkins, he's now like a right hand of the sheriff in this film So he's been around in the town ever since that night with Myers and then you also have Lori Strowed is back played by Jamie Lee Curtis Curtis again Michael Myers played by Nick Castle and James Jude Courtney who premiered who also starred in Buffy an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer for Buffy fans out there nice little hinted nice little easter egg for you guys there as well You have Andy Maddichak's character playing Allison Lori Strowes granddaughter, and you have Judy Greer playing Lori Strowes daughter. There is no curse of thorn. There is no thorn trilogy. Daniel Harris is not relevant in this film Josh Hartnitz character. He's not relevant in this film. There is no Buster Rhymes There's no trick-or-treat mother effa and all that stuff It's just Michael Myers and he's back in his 40 years after the original film So the film starts off with us following those two podcasters that we've seen in the trailers They go to the sanitary and they go to Smith's Grove They're taunting Michael Myers with his mask and then that's when things start to go crazy Michael Myers of course is he some for some odd reason is able to sense the presence of this mass He just gets a feeling that's what the movie is trying to hint at he just has a feeling So once it's time for the bus transfer Michael Myers does in fact get set free and He ends up escaping and he goes after those two podcasters he gets his mask back and then goes back to Haddonfield I'm not going in order of what if what if that is what is actually happening I may get out of order at some points. So for people who have seen the movie If you're not able to follow what I'm saying, I apologize, but anyway, if you've seen the film Then you should be able to put it all together anyway Michael kills a few people in Haddonfield And then Laurie becomes Laurie becomes aware that hit that he is broken out because Laurie has been spending the last 40 years Suffering from PTSD from the murders that occurred in 1978 and she's been preparing for this inevitable return Her daughter her family and her marriage life have suffered because of this She lost her daughter when she was only 12 years old because at the young age of the young age of 8 That's when she started training Karen Judy Grish characters start preparing for Michael Myers inevitable return So there's always been some sort of disconnect between mother and daughter because the daughter never quite understood What was wrong with her mother and she still kind kind of doesn't understand that today because she didn't go through these things Her mother did and she's just being affected by Something that Michael Myers cause so she also has been affected by Michael Myers and then you have this this This other young lady played by Andy Maddichak Allison's character Allison strolled. She's being affected by it because she She has no relationship with her grandmother because of her mother who constantly lies to her about What is going on with her grandmother? But in some ways Allison does kind of have some sort of Some sort of a relationship with her grandmother They're not the closest but they seem to have a lot in common if they were to actually get down to the nitty gritty And we actually saw these two interact they seem to have a lot in common It seems like Allison kind of sympathizes with her grandmother and she relates to her There's a lot of comic relief in this film you have Judy Gur's husband He's he's one of the biggest comic release comic relief aspects. I think he's all I think he exists merely to make the audience laugh There's one kid played by there's one kid in the film. I think his name is Julian I think that might be the actor's name. He gives some of the best one lines. I've ever heard in a Michael Myers film It's not over the top comedy. It's charming comedy that you would expect from someone his age Some of the comedy there's a one scene where it is out of place. There's a scene where he's killing the babysitter I felt that was out of place That's just me personally I think that took away from the feel of the film a lot and another thing about this film It's not it doesn't really have that atmosphere that it was trying to grasp from the first film That's why I was always saying that this movie is over-hyped. It's still good But for example Rob Zombie films even though they are far inferior They do have a more serious tone to them And I just wish the tone of this film in the atmosphere was dealt with a little bit more seriously and the movie was projected as like a legit Horror film like Michael Myers actually something to be worried about because we don't really get that until the end of the film It's not that Michael Myers is portrayed as a joke. It's just that it just didn't feel like enough for a Michael Myers film That's just me personally But yeah, Michael Myers also has a new doctor in this film Dr. Sartain He teams up with the sheriff Hawkins or deputy Hawkins and they go to Haddonfield And if we come to find out that Hawkins Or not Hawkins, but Dr. Sartain ended up being responsible for Michael Myers escape where that's what we're led to believe because Initially when the bus crashed we didn't see anyone on the bus besides Dr. Sartain so it's kind of ironic that Michael Myers not only didn't kill the patients But he didn't kill Dr. Sartain as well So that kind of hinting that perhaps something is going on here because it was quite odd to me When I saw the film that he was the only one alive on the bus, but anyway Dr. Sartain Reveals his true colors and he leaves Michael Myers over to Laurie's show because he believes That they need to settle this once for all of something Oh, he feels he feels that they are feeding off of each other in some way or another And there's something there that needs to be settled So he he kind of he doesn't orchestrate it, but he makes sure the inevitable happens He believes that Michael Myers has been waiting to go back after Laurie's show He really hasn't Michael Myers doesn't show any intention of going after Laurie's show The only time he seems concerned with her is the point when he's brought to her Uh the same thing with Laurie's show. She spent the last 40 years thinking Michael Myers was obsessing over her He really wasn't She was obsessing over him of The film ends with all the all three of the stroll women in in Laurie's house It's all booby trapped in rigged to blow. It was all a trap set up for Michael Myers When he shows up they lock him down in the basement. We have a little altercation with Laurie Michael Myers presumably gets burned alive And then the film ends with all three women escaping and we see Allison's character played by Andy Mattajack grasping Michael Myers knife kind of symbolizing that they've taken back Over their lives and Michael Myers no longer controls them. They have the power now Uh I enjoyed the film. I give it a solid. I gave it a seven and a half But the more I think about it, I'm going to give it a seven out of ten of Because like I said, this movie does have a few problems Here and there. It's not an overall bad film. It is probably the one of the better sequels that came out from this franchise of I it just depends on I really don't know. I'm in between seven to seven and a half It just depends on what day of the week it is. I guess I could say either or I won't go higher than a seven or seven and a half on this film Uh, that was my spoiler review of it. I like I like the cinematography. I think that was done I was think I think that was done masterfully. David Gordon Green. His direction was good Uh, Danny McBride's comedy in it. I could have done without it, but it was it was leveled out Fine with what was going on in the film the acting while not the best everyone gives solid performances James Jude Courtney gives an amazing performance to Michael Myers. Jamie Lee Curtis, of course, knocks it out of the park park as Laurie Strode Judy Greer, Andy Mattacek, their roles are their roles are fine. The person who played Dr. Sartain. I'm sorry. I don't know your name. You were fine Uh The only character that I really didn't like was Vicki. I don't want to get into Vicki at right now I'll get into her at some point in another video But if you guys have seen Halloween 2018 and you enjoyed it, let me know down in the comment section below Uh, I've done a video explaining what I think happened to Michael Myers So I'm not going to talk about that in this video But if you've seen Halloween 2018, let me know what you guys thought about it down in the comment section below If you enjoyed this video give it a thumbs up if you haven't already subscribed and turn on post notifications in the description I'll have links to all my social media accounts.
