Master of horror John Carpenter joins forces with director David Gordon Green and producer Jason Blum (Get Out, Split) for this follow-up to Carpenter's 1978 classic. Review: The best sequel of the franchise - Anyone who is a fan of the Halloween franchise knows that the various sequels have ranged from good, to decent, to absolute garbage. And, of course, the sequel that wasn't, Halloween 3. I think everyone has slightly different ideas about which sequels fall into what categories, but for me Halloween 6 and 8 fall into the absolute garbage category (although I think 6 had some potential as a story, it was just executed horribly and suffered massive rewrites and the death of Donald Pleasance), and Halloween 4 and H20 fall within the good category. This sequel is a complete reboot of the series, acknowledging that only the original movie existed, and is almost a "what if" scenario, opinening what if Michael had been caught at the end of the first movie, and held in Smith's Grove for 40-years. It was written by David Gordon Green, Jeff Fradley, Danny McBride, mostly known for the comedy genre, directed by David Gordon Green, and bringing back Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode. It also brought John Carpenter back into the fold as executive producer and co-composer. Die-hard Halloween nerds will know that his name was included on many of the other sequels but he never had anything to do with them, just getting royalty rights. He famously never wanted the movie to go any farther than the first one, and if there was going to be a franchise he wanted it to be like Season of the Witch, without the Michael Myers character. Curtis, aside from playing Laurie, was also an executive producer on the movie. Of course, her character was killed off in Halloween 8, hence the need for the total reboot. In this version, Laurie is basically a basket-case who is estranged from her daughter ( played by Judy Greer) and granddaughter (played by Andi Matichak) and has been readying herself for 40-years for Michael to come back. She lives alone in the woods in what can only be described as a compound with lots of surveillance and guns. Curtis does a great job with this version of the character and does a believable portrayal of what she would be like if she never moved on from the events of that night. While the movie does pretend that the other sequels and remakes never existed, it does have a lot of easter eggs that do pay homage to the original movie and some things that were clearly inspired by the other sequels, including the last shot of the movie. It does a good job either as an end to the franchise or as a set up to further movies. Given that it did well enough at the box office and got pretty good reviews it may spawn other movies down the road and was clearly left open-ended enough to do so. For those who get the 4k blu-ray, the movie looks and sounds great as you would expect. It, of course, includes the UHD blu-ray and a regular blu-ray version. The UHD has both the movie and the extras, which include about 12 minutes of deleted scenes, and then several short behind the scenes and making-of featurettes. Probably between a half hour' and 45 minutes worth of material. One thing that was not included which would have been nice, is a commentary track on the movie. I would have liked to hear the writers, director, Curtis, and Carpenter do a commentary on the movie. But what was included was very good. While I cannot say that everyone, including fans of the franchise is going to like it, but I do think it is worth checking out. Review: Arguably the BEST Halloween sequel ever!! - This Halloween movie is excellent! A real return to form! Technically, this is the first horror movie of the #MeToo era, and what a movie it is. The Halloween Franchise had been a bit stalled up to this point. With nowhere left to go after Rob Zombie’s reimagining, Blumhouse Studios came up with a great idea: Discount every sequel after the 1978 original and begin 40 years later setting up a whole new Timeline. Writers Danny McBride and Jeff Fradley, and director David Gordon Green have done their homework. They have apparently gone back over the original film with a fine-tooth comb and are going to bring us a new trilogy packed with familiar characters coming back after all these years. One example of this is Cameron Elam, the boy Laurie’s granddaughter Allyson dates. His dad, Lonnie Elam, is also mentioned in the film; Lonnie is the little kid in the original that Dr. Loomis scares by yelling at him to get off the Myers’ front porch. There are dozens of these Easter Eggs peppered throughout the film giving a little nod to all the sequels that came before it. That also happens to be the biggest complaint from most reviewers; the movie is too much of an homage to the original and the sequels to the point that some scenes and kills are filmed in the same manner. Here’s an Easter Egg that was really subtle: After learning that Michael escaped the transfer Deputy Frank Hawkins, who arrested Michael in 1978, tries to convince Sheriff Barker of how dangerous he is. Hawkins refers to the incident in ‘78 as the Babysitter murders. That was John Carpenter’s original title for the film before it was changed to Halloween. So, it’s 4 decades later and that should make Michael Myers about 61. Not the ideal age to start a new killing spree, but hey, he looks like he’s in “Shape”. The movie establishes right away that Michael Myers is human and has no “supernatural abilities”. When watching the Halloween movies, it can be fun to count the victims and how they die, but here’s something different to do: count Michael’s injuries. When the movie opens Michael is shown outside on the courtyard at Smith’s Grove, you can clearly see his left eye is milky white due to Laurie sticking a wire coat hanger in it. An injury sustained 40 years earlier. Also, in a Deleted Scene, Laurie is shown to have a scar on her left shoulder from the night she faced off with The Shape all those years ago. With the filmmakers taking the time to put these past wounds in the film, it seems significant and HIGHLY likely that Michael’s injuries will accumulate over the course of these 3 films leading to his eventual demise/ defeat in Halloween Ends as has been teased. We’ll see. Some of these injuries may not seem like much, but again, an accumulation effect should start to occur. Michael’s Injuries: Hit on left side of face with a crowbar Hit across left arm with a wooden chair Shot in the back of left shoulder with a revolver Hit deliberately while on foot by a speeding police SUV Knocked unconscious by landing on the pavement from being hit so hard from that last one 2 fingers on left hand blown off with a shotgun; Pinky and Ring finger Grazing shot on right side of neck with a rifle Stabbed in the back with a large kitchen knife Smacked across the right side of the face and an uppercut to the chin with a cast iron skillet Fell backwards down a flight of wood stairs headfirst b/c of that last one Stabbed with a large kitchen knife on top of right shoulder Side of the wrist on right hand slashed with a large kitchen knife Kicked in the face Left to die, trapped in the basement of a house on fire …ESCAPES Michael is a mess going into Halloween Kills, which is getting buzz that it’s THIS movie on speed. Never in ANY of the sequels has Michael sustained such injuries. Depending on what happens in the next installment, Halloween Ends might be a little rough for The Shape. As far as the Strode women go, they inflicted most of the damage to Michael in this film and all walked away to fight another day, or until later that same night, that is.

Thanks for taking the time to read this review. I know it's long! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ michael myers returns! *by M***N on June 8, 2019* I don't care what anyone thinks but this movie is pretty darn good! I have been a halloween fan since the original was released in 1978. the original is a classic. halloween 2018 is the best sequel since the original halloween 2. the rest of the films in the series, in my opinion, are just plain crap! didn't really care much for H2O either, thought it was lame. resurrection was a big disappointment too. this new film gets back to the basics of what made halloween so great. is it a perfect film?, no, but it is good one. almost no movie is perfect but this film comes close. sure the film makers made a few mistakes but come on, this attempt brought back michael myers in a good way, long, long over due. for those of you that disagree, that's your opinion. one thing that really bothers me is why people feel that the less you see the better. the old slasher movies were never allowed to show much, especially blood and gore. I still love old horror movies, especially the universal monster films but I also love the slasher movies from the 80's. horror movies used to leave it up more to your imagination like the original halloween and many other films that were made in the past. that's ok but I like a movie to be more realistic. I mean, come on, a psycho running around slashing people with a knife and there's no blood? I just find this to be unrealistic. that's the one thing I didn't like about the original halloween and many other horror films. I guess many people feel you don't need to see all that blood and gore but I disagree. many horror films today go over the top and perhaps show too much, well, that is true but I think you must have a certain amount to keep it more in touch with reality. halloween 2018 had just right amount of bloodshed, not too much not too little. the mask that was created for this movie was awesome! the best since the original two. the ending could have been more original but what is there to do? michael myers has been killed several times already. possibly, the only thing left is to maybe blow him to pieces or totally dismember him. I guess their going to make another one but maybe that's not a good idea, I mean, how many more times are they going to do the same thing over and over. I love michael myers more than anyone but maybe they should put an end to it all. I think they should just kill them both off once and for all. I'm always happy to see a good halloween movie but maybe enough is enough. with all it's faults I love halloween 2018, long live michael myers! ## Frequently Bought Together - Halloween (2018) [Blu-ray] - Halloween Kills - Extended Cut 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital [4K UHD] - Halloween Ends (2022) - Collector's Edition 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital [4K UHD] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/84061423-halloween-2018-blu-ray](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/84061423-halloween-2018-blu-ray) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-30*
