12 Days of Movies part 8


Halloween (2018) Blumhouse/Miramax

I was skeptical about the new Halloween when it was first announced, but I knew in my heart I'd go see it. Moments in, all my worries about it being bad melted away. The score, the style, Jamie Lee Curtis as grandma Laurie Strode dealing with the PTSD of surviving Michael Myers. It was as much an action film as it was a horror movie.  David Gordon Green and Danny McBride got it pretty right, and I especially loved the little homages to the first film (and its sequels, even if they "didn't count").  This was just fun, and JLC kicked as as grandma Laurie
