Review: The original Halloween is a masterpiece, but most of its ideas have been improved upon and streamlined by more modern slasher flicks. One of elements, which is underused in the movies it inspired is heavily relying on fear of the unknown. The movie has no explanation for the almost pure evil of Myers, and it enhances the horror. The suburban setting is excellent, allowing you to put yourself in the shoes of the protagonists, which is assisted by the movie not being overindulgent with gore or nudity. The side characters are interesting enough for you to care when they die. Jamie Lee Curtis is excellent as Laurie Strode, and Donald Pleasance gives one of the best performances I've seen in a movie as the incredible Dr. Loomis. The themes of fate are shown bluntly, but naturally and are very intertwined throughout the film. 9/10 Incredible, but dated.

Review: The sequel to the 1978 slasher movie, is surprisingly decent, but still fails to live up to the original. The fear of the unknown is de-emphasized with further explanation of why Myers targeted Laurie (making them long lost siblings), without any real need. Thankfully the film doesn’t fully explain why he is evil. Unfortunately, this film isn't very different from other post-Halloween slasher films, being very tropey, losing the excuse of being the first. The film's hospital setting is effective, especially if you've spent a lot of time in them, but if you haven't, it will feel less relatable than the original. 5/10 Bland and predictable. 

Review: Season of the Witch is an enjoyable Horror/Mystery movie. It has nothing to do with the first two films, and follows a doctor trying to prevent a bizarre plot that you wouldn't believe is real if I went into it. It follows the original intended plan, an anthology centered around the Halloween series. It has a relatively engaging, yet deeply bizarre mystery, although the film lacks in horror. 7/10, Great, if absolutely batshit insane. 

Review: This film is surprisingly good, being a better sequel to Halloween than the second one, but still not living up to the original. This movie has a lot of the same flaws as the second movie, but takes itself less seriously and knows that it is ridiculous. If you watch this movie, watch it for Myers being hit by a car and not to scare yourself. Dr. Loomis is one of the few recurring characters (Curtis didn’t come back), and continues killing it in this movie. The movie is once again in suburbia, and focuses on Michael’s niece, an interesting enough plotline to continue the series. 7/10, shockingly good.

Review: I forgot this movie even existed. The last one is shockingly good, the next one is comically awful, while this one is just nothing. Michael’s niece is traumatized and mute now. The script sucks, and other than Pleasance, so does the acting. There is literally nothing else to say about this movie. 3/10, don't bother, you'll forget you even saw it. 

Review: This movie is absolutely miserable. It has little outside of entirely pointless violence and a nonsensical plot. The only parts of the plot I can make out ruin all of the mystery around Michael Myers, and a deeply bizarre cult. It is impossible to describe the experience of watching this movie. 1/10, the movie is nonsensical and a complete waste of time and breath.

Review: This movie erases every film after the second one, and it uses the idea of Laurie and Michael being siblings well enough to make the continuity of the second film worth keeping in series. It stylistically feels a lot more like the first 2 films, taking itself more seriously than the previous three, and does it well. The movie focuses on an adult Laurie Strode, who is now the dean of a school and has a son. Unfortunately, this movie isn’t particularly memorable, other than the fact that Loomis Isn't in the film (Donald Pleasance died 3 years earlier) and that Curtis brings some great acting and kills in a short haircut. 6/10 It's a decent return to form for the series, but isn’t as good as the original, nor as funny as the fourth. 

Review: This movie is so comically terrible, but unlike Curse of Michael Myers, that's why it's incredible. It's such a fun experience, with the absurd premise of an internet reality TV show streamed from the Myers house. It was shockingly accurate about early internet culture. Busta Rhymes is one of the stars of this movie, and his acting isn’t good, but not as bad as one would think. The movie is boring at the beginning, but once everyone gets to the house, it becomes humorously insane, and is a very enjoyable ride. 8/10 Absolutely Awful 

Review: The Halloween remake is the third movie made by musician Rob Zombie. It fails to recapture the horror of the first two films, lacking a relatability with unrealistic characterization and setting. The movie starts with a solid explanation of his evil and why he is targeting Laurie, which rips away the fear of the unknown. Its edgy aesthetic fails to capture any horror of its own, lacking any relatable or realistic horror, which seems to be its main goal. His previous films succeeded by being a clever mix of realistic horror and dark comedy; however, this movie lacks the comedy. 3/10 This movie is gore, and nothing more.

Review: Surprisingly, this movie works quite well, succeeding at reimagining the story of Halloween. It succeeds at the style Rob Zombie has developed, although is certainly not as good as House of 1000 Corpses or The Devil's Rejects. The movie has a messy ending and some of the characters are quite annoying, but it is so much better than the 2007 movie. The movie feels underbaked and the elements it adds to Micheal are sidelined by the end of the film. This movie is the only one that makes the idea of Laurie and Michael being siblings work, although it still isn't the best. 6/10, quite enjoyable, but held back by the previous film. 

Review: The film is alright, but its most interesting element is bringing back Jamie Lee Curtis as a paranoid old Laurie Strode. It unfortunately lacks a character nearing the level of Dr. Loomis. The movie is quite generic, but resetting back to the first film made it feel fresh, despite being very tropey. The ending of the movie is very well done, and may be some of the best modern slasher action outside of the X trilogy. Unfortunately, before the end of the movie, there is little that you cannot find done better elsewhere. 7/10 A great movie, held back by being quite derivative. 

Review: Despite wasting Laurie, who is in a hospital for most of the movie, it is better than people give it credit for. It has some great action, decent scares, and interesting, if shallow, themes. The movie is deeply flawed, though fun, and I personally found it more enjoyable to watch than the previous film, despite being worse in many ways. 6/10 Not great, but an entertaining viewing experience.

Review: This movie is brimming with downright horrible execution of great ideas. Corey, the most prominent character in the film, should have been set up in any way by the previous two, or at least by Kills. The entire point of a trilogy is set up, but this just feels like a sequel that was thought of later. The majority of this movie is waiting to get to the action and horror, which are executed with aggressive mediocrity and simplicity. Early on Corey is relatable, but his arc is rushed and takes away from Michael, who is the main reason most people would watch this movie. The ending is surprisingly decent. 4/10 a waste of great music and great potential.
