It's been 40 years since Laurie Strode survived a vicious attack from crazed killer Michael Myers on Halloween night. Locked up in an institution, Myers manages to escape when his bus transfer goes horribly wrong. Laurie now faces a terrifying showdown when the masked madman returns to Haddonfield, Ill. -- but this time, she's ready for him.

Critics Consensus

Halloween largely wipes the slate clean after decades of disappointing sequels, ignoring increasingly elaborate mythology in favor of basic - yet still effective - ingredients.

Halloween is [Laurie Strode's] love letter to all of us, wrapped in a most excellent slasher movie.

[Forgets] that a decent Halloween movie should take its cue from Michael Myers: low on chat, high on surprise. Even so, this one can still boast a higher-than-average proportion of treats among its tricks.

A brutal rumination on intergenerational pain, and the ways that male cruelty can make good women bad.

3/5

This is one of the stronger sequels/reboots in this checkered franchise and would have been a banger of a way to end it.

This is a great movie. Probably one of the best slashers that I have seen. I highly recommend seeing it this Halloween season.
