From IMDB- ‘Four years after the events of last year's Halloween Kills, Laurie is living with her granddaughter Allyson and is finishing writing her memoir. Michael Myers hasn't been seen since. Laurie, after allowing the specter of Michael to determine and drive her reality for decades, has decided to liberate herself from fear and rage …

After the frankly dreadful film from 2018 I wasn't looking forward to it's sequel. I even intended on not seeing the film but someone posted online that this was 'The Film of the Year'. Mission accepted. I had to see and review it. After the dodgy political posturing of the previous film ('The Night The …

So, the day has finally arrived. Fanboys have been counting down to this release since the start of the year. Yes, even though the film was due to drop in October. This film is a direct sequel to the first film, the filmmakers told us. We must pretend Parts 2-8 didn't happen. So, what's it …

Laurie is sent to hospital straight after the events of the first film. The film then flashes forward to see how Laurie, Annie, Dr Loomis and, of course, Michael are doing. How do you include your actress wife in a film even though her character was killed in the last movie? You bring her back …

Halloween is Rob Zombie’s origin story of what made Michael Myers, erm, Michael Myers. This lasts about 40 minutes, and then we see the events of the original film through Zombie’s eyes. Apparently, John Carpenter told Zombie to make the film his way and make it his own. And he does (my eyes are rolling …

You may remember at the end of the previous film that Laurie beheaded Michael. How could they possibly progress after such an event to keep the franchise going? Well, apparently Michael had actually swapped clothes with a paramedic and crushed his larynx. Hence Laurie chopped off the head of an innocent man whilst Michael is …

Michael returns and steals a file on Laurie from his old nurse. After he slits her throat, he drives to find Strode who is living under the alias of Keri Tate and the headmistress of a posh private school. I remember going to see this in a huge cinema in Marble Arch as I was …

In this installment, Michael is seeking the son of niece, Jamie Lloyd. And not for a family get together. This film reminds me of someone at a casino who decides to gamble all of their money on either red or black. This is what happens here. Myers murderous ways are explained by him being part …

Halloween 5 involves more of the same from Part 4- Michael returns to Haddonfield to try and kill his niece, Jamie Lloyd. Unfortunately, it repeats the same elements I despised from the previous film. Irritating characters, older characters who were once interesting who have been reduced to shadows of their former self (yes, I'm talking …

I remember I actually had the poster for Halloween 4, which I seem to recall came free with either Fangoria or Gorezone, which I used to buy religiously back in the day. This was way before the film was released here in the UK. The poster looked so cool and I was intrigued to see …
