“Gotcha.” I’m not too cool to admit that I cheered in the theater the first time I saw this, such a fuckin great moment
I also cheered in the theaters aswell
who didn't cheer after she said "Gotcha"
At first I was like "No, you idiot. Why? 😫"
And then she said that and I was like "Omg you smartass 🤯🤩!"
@@tonymartinez6746 everybody said Wow in the theaters 😂🙌
Same
Fun fact: After the credits you hear him breathing implying he’s still alive.
No implying about it...
Can’t wait 😝 for Halloween kills.
Hehe I never needed an implication. The moment they fled the house without showing him dying I was like "Yeah, he's gonna get out. He's the boogeyman."
Jesus end the series already should have ended after #1
The phantom menace did it better tho and was actually a good film unlike this movie 🍿
1) sex after marriage
2) don't close the wardrobe door
3) don't go with someone that says he knows a shortcut
NOTED.
“They’re not like jocks they’re like...”. “Twats.” Never a truer word said.
Seeing this flick in the theater was a BLAST. The crowd was loving it. Glad you enjoyed.
True - when Laurie was going room to room, searching for Michael, the entire theater that I was in was on the edge of their seats - and totally silent (which is rare these days).
One woman in my theatre literally stood up, clapped and shouted “YES!” when Laurie’s daughter (can’t remember her name) said “Gotcha.” And this was in the UK. That doesn’t happen here. Ever. The whole place was packed and literally buzzing on opening night. Best theatre experience I’ve ever had.
Ditto! Had so much fun!
I saw it three times in theaters and you could tell people were real fans of the franchise and each time the audiemce applauded at the end. It was amazing.
I saw it with a bad crowd unfortunately. I loved it, everyone else was just kinda there. Maybe they loved it too, but they sure weren't showing it.
Glad you both liked it. I think, for me, the most important aspect of the film is the idea of trauma. The reaction to trauma and how it gets passed on to other generations. Michael, The Shape, is trauma personified. You said a few times that you thought Laurie's reaction was "far fetched", but you seemed to ignore that her trauma was something beyond the norm. I'm not even speaking of a mad man who killed her friends and tried to kill her, it is beyond that. The first film made it clear or should have: He is NOT HUMAN. Although he never spoke and barely moved, his first Doctor (Loomis) became obsessed with the idea that he was evil incarnate. His next Doctor became so obsessed with understanding him that he was willing to do anything, even kill. How could such a character, who never speaks, have had such an affect? This is a film about he affected EVERYONE. He is called EVIL, THE BOOGEYMAN, exc., but what all of this means, really, is that he is something more (and less) than a man; an element. Evil, trauma, fear. He never runs because he doesn't have to. Anyway, I agree that the first film is more.....scary, creepy, whatever word you like. This one is more intense, more menacing. I enjoyed both quite a bit (none of the other sequels work as well and some are absolutely awful). By the way, the next two films all take place on the same night. So, all 3 will take place almost in real time, over about a 12 hour period. Should be fun.
Or rather, Infected everyone and took over their lives like a cancer or virus.
This guy - his channel is Blinky 500 -- did a series of Excellent Halloween fan films. But the best are in the Myers series. Check them out: czcams.com/play/PLctLdbuxkDm_cXeldp-IBS9CyLZmBZ3L8.html
Note: I'd start with Rise of the Boogeyman, since it starts with Myers as a kid. But, if you want to do it in the order the films are made, that works, as well.
And yep, it's all going to be one long night of horror, like Halloween 78 and Halloween II.
Generational trauma is a real thing. Trauma in general is getting much better exposure/de-stigmatized, and being depicted in a more realistic way these days. Not so much in this film, but I do like the idea of 'generational trauma via 'The Boogeyman'. It's a neat conceit.
How does this not have more likes???
I mean, not completely. If you cut off his head, he dies.
@@everforward5561 Well, in theory, I suppose. Frankly, I wouldn't go near a headless Michael either. Pure incineration is all I would trust. Also, I should amend something from my first statement.......the third film in this series is now going to have a time jump.
“ i feel like I could outrun Michael Myers” ... yeah, he’s like 70 years old now 😏
Thank you for having a brain unlike every loser with bad taste thinking this comedy is scary or even good.
Like they’ve said “No matter how fast you run, micheal can walk faster”
@@DamienNightwing says the guy named after the worst batman sidekick.
He may be 61, but he's still got it.
You know what they say. The victims run, while Michael walks faster.
Also the "Shape hunts Allison" is the best music John Carpenter ever did, yes better then the original Halloween theme.... when that hit in the theater ppl lost it.
Carpenters The Thing, and Escape From New York/LA music is pretty great too.
@@BrokenGodEnt Agreed, love his stuff from Christine and Big Trouble in Little China too
@@michaelcoffey1991 Safe to say that John Carpenter, in general, is goated
@@Mrryn Hitchcock of horror yes, no argument there at all
Did you listen through the end credits? First, there's a song called "Close To Me" that is written in part by Jamie Lee Curtis and John Carpenter. I think it was a song that they made up during the filming of the original. But also *spoiler* you hear Michael Myers breathing at the end.
Yes, it's the bit Laurie sings after she's dropped off the key at the Meyers house. John Carpenter wanted her to be singing to herself, but they had so little money they couldn't license a song, so he asked her to just make something up, and that was the basis for the song. You can also hear it on the radio near the start of this film when the father and son are talking, right before they come across the bus.
It's now time for you guys to continue the "Scream" franchise. I am sure everyone would love to see you guys react to Scream 2, 3 and 4. 😱🔪
Oh for sure!
Yesss
Yes
Yes!
We will be doing 2, 3 and 4 😊
When saying "dont shoot" its important not to pop out of a hidden place.
Patrick Foster Probably the most important rule. Not charging at the person with a weapon, saying “Oh, you’re dead, bitch!” is another good general rule.
Especially when you're saying it to a scared kid who's seen mental patients wandering down the road, his dad's disappeared and he found a dying security guard.
@@susanmaggiora4800 LMAO 🤣
You boys want different Halloween? we have a druid magic Halloween in 3, we have an odd supernatural psychic child Halloween in 4-5-6, we have Scream-like Halloween in H20, and we have that poo-poo found footage-light Halloween in Resurrection. Take your pick! haha
Oh yeah, we also have a hobo Halloween and fever dream Halloween in Rob Zombie's 2 films.
*Choose your adventure*
@Wazgood i98 saw it in theaters as a kid, was my first Halloween movie... at least it was funny!
@Wazgood i98 I just BURST out laughing!!! Thank you for that!!! HOW DARE YOU!!! HAHAHA! I recently caught Resurrection on tv last Halloween and it's very..... Saw 2-esque? The sequels branched out sooo far by these parts... ala JASON X - JASON IN SPACE LOL
I am a sucker for the Jamie movies (4 & 5), but that's mostly because I like the actress Danielle Harris. They are admittedly pretty awful, though.
"He can speak, he just chooses not to"
Such a little brother move. I imagine Michael smirking to himself.
Halloween: H20 isn't as good as the first or this one, but it is all about the connection between Laurie and Michael, kind of an alternate universe version of this. I think you guys would highly enjoy it.
To me H20 is way better than 2018. This feels just like a lame excuse to set up another sequel.
Personally H20 is my favourite of the original storyline but i wish they ended it there since the ending was like a true ending to the franchise but was then ruined completely by Resurrection. However i adore this film because it's a true sequel to the original and kept so much of the spirit of that genuine Halloween feel and tone with the soundtrack done by John Carpenter and his sons as well as original cast members
I agree I will take Halloween 20 years later or Halloween H20 . Over this movie any day just because I feel. That it's version of Laurie is more realistic. The version of Laurie in the 2018 one . Is it just makes no sense to me at all. She basically just jumped the shark in this movie.
@@baileyclan96 lol H20 wasn’t part of the original storyline. It’s the first reboot
@@jeetkunedoatlanta2464 ok I didn't know that
For me, the music is the best part of this movie. Carpenter composed and scored the movie and it’s so damn good.
"The Shape Hunts Allyson" = all-time great track
@@trewhite7903 Ohhh ya when that kicked in for the first time in theatres I was blown away 🤘
The music is actually the only good part of the movie.
Oh yeah.
His scores are always phenomenal to me, totally agree. I can't thing of anything he's composed for his films that I haven't loved. The Fog is probably my second favorite soundtrack from his films. Captures the classic ghost story vibes of the movie perfectly. It's great to listen to on a chilly Fall day while walking or jogging
I'm sure you're tired of everyone telling you guys what to watch, but I'd be interested in hearing what you think of H2O since JLC is in that too. It pretends everything after II doesn't exist. Her character changes a lot.
I second this. It's nowhere near as good as this return to the franchise, but I still watch it from time to time, I have a good time with it. Very flawed but it has its moments, and JLC is always welcome back in my eyes. She plays a tortured badass very well
Lots and lots going on thematically in this film regarding generational trauma, abusers, etc. Love this film to pieces and -- had Hereditary not come out in the same year -- was easily the best horror I saw in 2018.
But Hereditary was more original then H2018. Watch Halloween H20, same movie as 2018, just different locations. Now Rob Zombie's Halloween is different in a way but his part 2 really sucks.
@@scottjo63 Saw H20, they definitely share similarities but I'm going off of what the film's are trying to say and if they pull that aspect off.
When she said “gotcha” my whole movie theater session screamed and applauded, this movie was so amazing (for me it’s the best one from the franchise)
LOL WOW
My theater did as well, all three times I saw it with various friends in the theater! I love the first one the most, but they definitely hit a home run here and crafted a great love letter to what's come before
As long time Halloween fan, I cannot tell you how amped I was in the theater watching it. When the daughter said “got you” and shot him after pretending to freak out, I leapt out of my seat. I screamed with joy.
Since others have pointed out all the big connections, I'll reference one not many people know about: Laurie's granddaughter Allyson has a boyfriend in the movie, Cameron. He's the douchebag who kisses another girl, but ultimately he seems to survive as we don't see him again.
Cameron's full name in the script is Cameron Elam, and he's described as the son of "Lonnie Elam". Lonnie is the kid in 1978's Halloween who bullies Tommy Doyle into dropping his pumpkin by joking about the bogeyman, saying "He's gonna get you".
The good news is that douchebag Cameron will be seen again in Halloween Kills (2021), and so will Tommy Doyle. Which means we can not only expect some sort of Tommy Doyle redemption moment (perhaps even involving Lonnie himself), but we can also be pretty sure little douchebag Cameron will suffer a deservedly gruesome death after all 😂
Cool fact love it
I hope that they give Paul rudd a cameo at some point. He is absolutely terrible in halloween 4 but it was his first film.
@@Welsh_Dragon756 Paul was in the sixth movie (Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers), but I agree he wasn't great! He'll never have a cameo in this series because (a) he played Tommy Doyle, who's already been cast, (b) he was in the ignored sequels and (iii) he's too big a star to be in a small cameo - it would be distracting and unnecessary.
@@slashdisco lol of course its 6. How did I get those 2 mixed up. I could understand mixing up 5 and 6 but 4 is actually an ok film
Whoa that's awesome! Thanks for pointing that fact out man, so many cool references in this film, they really hit a home run in terms of capturing the vibe of the original. Really excited to see where the other two go
I was lucky enough at a local cinema to see a double feature of Halloween (1978) and then Halloween (2018) directly after it, as the cinema hosted the double feature. And my God, did I love seeing both, back-to-back on the big screen. I personally can't wait for "Halloween Kills" and "Halloween Ends"
I wish I could've saw both back to back but I did see both in the theaters before the pandemic in 2019. One week after the other though 2018 first then 1978 your experience was cooler
There's a teaser and official trailer for Halloween Kills. Y'all need to check em out. They're intense and will leave you asking questions.
We have a full official trailer.....like he said 😊
I'm going in completely blind on this one. So no trailer reaction from me. Trying to keep my expectations as low as possible this time. Can't wait to see it in theaters this October!
🔪🎃🤘
I didn't notice the end nod to her never dropping the knife until just now.
It's funny how some people thought that Allyson would be the new killer.
Lucky you guys only have to wait 1 year for the sequel we’ve been waiting since 2018.
If they decide to make Michael speak in one of the subsequent films, I hope the only thing he says is “.........Boo........”
Or “.....meow.....”
@@CinemaRules Shouldn't it be "Trick or Treat?"
If they decide to have Michael Myers . Speak in a movie he should only say . One single word ..... Speak ..... Or ......
. talk..... Just one of those words because that's . All they say is he doesn't speak or talk. So it's only appropriate that one of those two words is . The only thing that he would say .
@@83shadow3
podcaster: “SAY SOMETHIIIIIING”
Michael:”......something.....” 😎
That works to I forgot about that one . So the only thing Michael Myers should say if. They have him speak is one of . These words speak talk something . But only one just for the irny of it .
The voice of the teacher in the classroom is p.j. Soles who played Lynda in the first one.
The original is still my favorite. And the 1998 sequel Halloween H2O would be my runner up ...
My personal favorites thus far are probably 1, 2018, H2O, and 4.
I consider this film to be an Action Horror movie.
If you guys are interested in the first time they brought back JLC to play Laurie you would maybe like Halloween H20
I feel in love with guy who wearing black and white t shirt. So handsome
Whoaaa someone has a CrUsH 😻
Жазира Карамышева he is a handsome bastard I will give him that
bruh
@@handsomestik he is mine
i am so embarrassed
10:17 Can’t deny how dope this scene is with the camera following him!
Scorpionstrike7 Yeah, it’s pretty scary! That & the scene where the gal is in the bathroom stall & he drops the teeth. They both get me🤣
I remember they dropped some of that scene as a teaser and had people react to just that.
I remember watching this one in theater. The soundtrack is so good. Especially the music when allyson sees Michael for the first time. Me and my friend were bobbing along with the music.
“How are they going to do 2 sequels”
It’s all set over the course of a few days after the events of this movie
Isn't the 2nd one set right after this one closes?
@@stepmcgiggity8583 the next one takes place just after Laurie and the fam escape the fire, and the fire dept head towards the burning house
I thought I read it was all taking place in the same night - Halloween night.
No. Both sequels are to take place on the SAME night. Not over the course of a few days.
They have come out and said that Halloween ends will actually have a slight time jump. Kills will follow up directly after this one
This is definitely a worthy sequel! The only bummer for me is that I felt like Halloween: H20 was a really fantastic film and I was sad to see it sort of erased from the canon.
Speaking of Halloween H20, did you know that Michael's mask was cgi?
Same. In my head it’s always been Halloween, Halloween 2, and H20 as the only movies that matter.
@@allisonterry1945 Only in 1 scene
Unfortunately, any sequel to H20 automatically invalidates the whole point of H20.
@@allisonterry1945 And was full of jumpscares for 50 minutes just to spook the audience until Michael FINALLY shows up near the end.
I really enjoyed this film! As a long time fan of the original Halloween and a lover of Halloween H20, I was came into the 2018 sequel very skeptical. While I will still regularly watch H20, this feels like what a sequel should be! It progressed the narrative, paid homage to the original, and gave us a new direction for the franchise. I have high hopes for the next film. This movie was such a fun watch and I really enjoyed seeing you both react and share your thoughts on it. Loving all this new content!
I was skeptical until I read Carpenter was returning for the score and to be a hands on producer to help Shepard it. Knowing how much he didn't want to be a part of any of the other sequels after 2, I knew he wouldn't have signed in if it wasn't something special
7:13 "Why would u get out?" I mean thats ALWAYS been the case in all horror movies, rite?😅
Answer: Because then there wouldn't be a movie and you'd be wasting your money and time.
"Remember he's property of the state he mustn't be harmed"
"Fuck off"
Best reaction ever 🤣
I think this is a worthy sequel to the original. I loved seeing how Laurie's trauma shaped her life.
I almost cried happy tears at "Gotcha." And the part where the granddaughter grabbed the knife, showing that Laurie's trauma has gone through not one but two generations and it's her turn to fight, too.
I love this channel and Halloween 1978 was my starting point when watching you guys because it's my favourite movie of all time. This is the one sequel I was most anticipating seeing you guys watch and review. While I appreciate this video, the channel and you guys, I cannot agree that you both would want him to speak. Under no circumstances should The Shape speak because it's part of his original design and is one of his defining characteristics. All in all a very good review and understandable opinions on this film and the 1978 original.
Could I recommend Halloween H20? It’s a direct sequel to Halloween 2 and a more believable one, I feel in regards to Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode.
They are both believable in their own ways.
Also, the soundtrack? IT'S SO GOOD!!! I listen to it daily.
The concept of Laurie stalking Michael was great but that terrible doctor plot twist 😰
ehhhhhh I thought it brought another WHAT!? moment that I enjoyed LOL. Yes it was stupid but hey, there are crazy fans who love serial killers out there, and this one just took it too far... and he paid the price.... LOL
The plot twist ruined the entire movie for me.. it was AWFUL
It makes sense when you consider how Loomis was just as crazy and obsessed with Michael, just in different ways. Two sides of the same coin.
@@ColdLights you actually liked that plot twist lmao
@@ColdLights Na fuck all that Loomis was a legend should’ve never had a “obsessed” doctor again after he died.
Yes!! This one is my favorite!! It’s so good. It didn’t scare me in the theaters I found it very entertaining & different from the others. I can’t wait for the next one that did get delayed last year but is right on schedule
My same reaction as Tom when I first saw that scene! 4:02
This is one of your best reactions, with comparing the original and this one.. Both of which are great movies. Keep up the good work.
Ahh I honestly love you guys! Another great review ☺️ Also, ‘ahh...how the turn tables’ and Tom brief change in expression, had me cracking up! I had to rewatch that bit a few times haha! X
So glad I stumbled onto y'all's channel. Currently going through your back catalog of reactions and I'm having a total blast.
20:54 Wise words Shaun!
How about 'Halloween H20: 20 Years Later' so it would be back to back to back sequels to the original Halloween movie that you'd have watched.
I can't waiiiiit to see your reaction and what you think of this I literally screamed while washing the dishes when I saw the notification from your channel😁🥰
The "gotcha" moment had my theater cheering as well. This was such a well crafted return to the franchise, and a great love letter to Halloween in general. Very excited to see where it goes
Overall, I like this one, despite its problems. I think the H20 version of Laurie is a better character, more realistic, certainly more likeable, but I understand this movie wanting to be different.
I still think Halloween 4 and H20 are the best of the sequels (this movie references scenes from both of them by the way), but I do agree that Halloween 2018 is better than part 2.
Hell yeah! I love this movie. Such a clever move to make a sequel to Halloween that mirrors modern American fears just like the original did, just turning the lens to mass killings from (ostensibly/partially) the stranger danger vibes of the OG.
Just came across you guys through sheer luck, an absolutely fantastic channel! You both seem very genuine and wholesome. Keep up the great work lads
So happy you guys covered this movie thanks fellas
I’m glad I came across your guys channel, you should react to IT 2017 and IT Chapter 2 aswell!
I rate the original higher than you guys rated it. This is the best sequel, though. I'm glad you guys enjoyed it. If you're looking for evolution of a character Friday the 13th does it best. I don't want to spoil it, but you should react to at least 2 and 3.
And part 6! The best Tommy Jarvis in Thom Matthews, and it is such a great self aware, love letter to classic monster movies. Has my favorite cold open too. Great cinematography as well. Rare for a 6th entry to be so enjoyable, but they managed to knock it out of the park
I love the lack of showing him in the first one, but I think the reason they followed him rather than having him pop out of the darkness was to emphasize the fact that it's Halloween night and he can walk down a crowded street and no one bats an eye.
Im watching a lot of "first time watching" videos these days. But with you guys its like watching a movie with a good friend.
Love Halloween (2018). My favorite sequel of the bunch.
This to me is the true sequel of Halloween. I love how they delved into the trauma and how it affected her children too
I love how the opening is basically a reverse version of the first movie's opening.
So a clever touch, I really appreciated it as well. Sort of symbolizing the franchise returning back from the dead, with the pumpkin reforming!
@@codyt821 I take it as Laurie becoming the Monster she feared when she was a teenager. a killing machine. Its a really deep movie showing how both Laurie and Michael are the same but in différent ways...
“The turns are tabled” 😂
Y’all should definitely watch H20.
A masterpiece. We will ignore the eyesbrows on the mask
There are sequels because Michael is not a normal living breathing human person he is meant to be the literal boogeyman, he's credited in the original as 'The Shape'
He’s credited I this one as the shape
U guys make me laugh everytime I watch your movie reactions! So funny! 😂😂
Yall are hilarious i love the vids keep them coming!!
If Michael Myers ever speaks, that's me done with the series!
Yes
Same.
Don't watch the Rob Zombie movies then
I think with them talking about that so much in this film, there has to be a payoff at the end of the trilogy. I feel like it's OK if he speaks once, since they're probably gonna end this timeline with Michael's death.
@@adamclifton29 oh I have, and i utterly despise them.
This one has a lot of sentimental value to me, it was my first new Halloween that I saw in theaters after becoming a horror fan from the year prior, and on that day it was my senior year in High School and we had a weird poetry slam day and I didn't want to go, so I called my mom and said I didnt want to go so she called me out and my grandma took me to see it on opening day, I know tons of people hate this one and tons like it too. I will always like this one for the memories I have of it
this movie blew
@@peartfaldo Did I ask if the movie blew? No I didn't I was clearly enjoying a fond memory.
@@jman2676 Yea. exactly. you liking it has nothing to do with the movie.. ."a new horror fan". i bet you're into "vinyl" too. "a new fan from a year ago"......THis movie has nothing to do with what the original was and its only liked by young fad followers. Cliche
@@peartfaldo seriously you off all people are accusing me of liking Vinyl? Also this movie is very similar to the original, it pays a lot of homage and straight up copies shots from the original, what I’m getting at is, I know it isn’t the best movie, or the best Halloween movie for that matter, I’d still watch Halloween 4 over this one, I’ll always look at this one with rose colored glasses because I know how to enjoy a film for what it is
This was filmed in my hometown of Charleston SC and my work hours would not let me go downtown to see if I could be an extra and I was so mad. That whole part where he is wondering around the neighborhood, going in and out of houses was all one long shot and is awesome.
And I'm so proud of you guys for spotting the easter egg scenes that come from the sequel, but if you had watched the whole franchise before this one, you would have seen how many from all the films they put in. This is basically one big love letter to the fans and I am dying to see Halloween Kills. It was supposed be 10/20 but got delayed bc of stupid covid. They now are promising 10/21 no matter what and they better give it to us!
Another great reaction video ta guys xxx
I had it in my head that this was going to be Halloween H20.
Cinema Rules, if you can react to Doctor Sleep which is a sequel to The Shining. Don't want to spoil but it is really good.
Don’t worry, we’re doing all the sequels from the first 10 horror movies we started the channel with
Love Dr Sleep! Such a fantastic movie!
Man I love all of the long one takes that show him moving around houses.
The fact that she listed “learning to shoot a gun when I was eight,” as a traumatic event, with tears in her eyes, I laughed too hard. I learned when I was like six and it was fun. My dad also taught me how to escape from predators and attackers. If it ever happens, they will have messed with the wrong woman. I respected Laurie and her decisions.
The fact that some Americans think it is normal and a good idea to teach an eight year old shoot a gun is ridiculous and terrifying but predictable.
And if what you say is true, "it was fun" because you didn't even knew what you were doing. There's no situation irl that a 6 year old should use a gun. Who were you learning to shoot at? Immigrants?
@@gasparnuno7737”terrifying but predictable” if you’re going to be so judgmental, why not share your philosophy on it?
The only thing holding this movie back from being great is that fucking twist with the doctor, that ends 5 minutes after it is revealed. Because it is clear that this is a plot device being used as a way for Michael to get to Laurie's house. For me, it would have been much better if Michael just KNEW where laurie was, because they're hyping him up to be the boogeyman the whole film, so of course Michael could just know where Laurie was somehow.
Agree, that twist is very strange and stupid choice. And another thing that (by me) this film could never be like original is cronical lack of atmosphere.
I think it's better without because he's hyped up by reputation. Michael in actuality is just a human, he isn't a demon, ghost, or zombie with super powers. He's a regular guy that is criminally insane. That part of Halloween has always made it more scary than Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street to me. Laurie didn't go to a camp or somewhere she shouldn't have been, he parents didn't murder someone, she wasn't a piece of shit to a person to someone etc. She was a regular girl that a maniac decided he wanted to kill her and her friends. The simplicity and realistic nature (to an extent) of being at home doing what you regularly do and someone breaking in to murder you for reasons no one can guess is truly terrifying. I think the doctor being obsessed with why and what he's really like is kind of a jab to the fans because he is some of us. Everyone wants to know why, they want to see him talk, they want to see him do something different, they build him up as being more than just a man, and want to see him have some kind of powers. And Michael is just like fuck you; this is what I am there doesn't need to be anymore. I dig it!
I don't mind it. I also think it makes sense for him to be obsessed with Michael as opposed to most others since in this timeline, he had one night of terror instead of years with a huge body count. Him studying Michael drove him mad.
And Loomis was way too interested and obsessed with Michael. This is taking that concept to another level.
@@number3665 He's obviously not, in any timelines. He keeps surviving gunshots and even took one to the head in this film.
@@number3665 I get what you're saying, but if he's just a normal guy, how did he "sense" the mask in the opening scene? And why did the entire ward start losing their shit, as if they could "sense" something as well? Know what I mean?
I'm too nervous to watch these movies on my own, so I watch them with you guys LOL
Trauma messes with your head in ways you can't imagine. I've survived a traumatic situation and now (23 years later) I'm super paranoid about it happening again even though I am well-aware he can't get me anymore. It's not that far-fetched. You just haven't experienced that particular trauma and I hope you never do.
Stay away from the Rob Zombie Halloween's. Most Halloween fans rank them among the worst in the series! They don't even feel like Halloween movies
Yeah, the worst Halloween film is a real contest between Halloween 5, Resurrection, and Rob Zombie's Halloween II.
I disagree, the first one is fine, especially for a remake it stands out among most remakes. Rob Zombies Halloween 2, however, is abysmal.
Rob's second movie actually has some merit, even with the tedious Weinstein-mandated murder scenes dragging the film to a halt at times. The remake, on the other hand, is about as pointless as they come, and it's even more of a structural mess than its sequel.
@@MAMoreno My issue with both of them is how obnoxious the characters and dialogue are. If it weren't for the dialogue I might even like II or at least be able to appreciate what Zombie was going for.
@@alchemypotato My recommendation is to hit the chapter-skip button for the coroner and Rabbit in Red scenes. It goes a long way toward improving the watchability of that film.
After a bunch of sub-par sequels and the horrible Rob Zombie films, this one is a step in the right direction. However, the "feel the mask" sort of lines made this one quite awkward and cheesy at times, and I'm not sure if that was intentional. Also, little trivia for you : John Carpenter composed the soundtrack for Halloween (2018). It's brilliant, you should check it out!
Hot take: While the first Zombie film was awful, the sequel was excellent, and contains Danielle Harris’s career-best performance.
I loved Zombie's Halloween, but the sequel is horrible.
It's funny that you mentioned that anthology theory of the next sequels, because that's what John Carpenter originally planned for the Halloween series to be. Halloween II was first planned as a completely different story, but since the first one was really popular, they continued the Michael Myers story. That's why Halloween III is a different story, because of that original anthology idea.
But fun video though guys. I've been waiting for this one to come out.
So glad you got round to watching it it’s definitely my favourite after the original you guys are doing great 🙌
You guys need to see Halloween 3: Season of the witch and Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers. Halloween 4 is one the best sequels in the franchise with one of the greatest endings and Halloween 3 is a good unrelated story.
In the sequels, they do add an addition to his character to which they expand his mythology and give a reason to what drives him and how he is so powerful. Though those movies are not looked at too fondly. It's interesting to see your take on them. I hope you watch the sequels and the Halloween remake.
Halloween 3 is brilliant.
I liked H20 so much more than this one.
Fun fact. My dad owns the BP station that’s in this movie. It’s in a little town in South Carolina called Hanahan. The bathroom in the film isn’t the one that’s really connected to his shop. He was so paranoid that people would think he kept the bathroom in those disgusting conditions! 🤣🤣The silver truck in the parking lot of that scene when he puts on his mask is his truck as well.
thank you for making my day a lot better. you guys are so funny. it be really funny to see your opinions and ratings while you speak in other languages so funny. thank you and god bless England. I love England.❤
Awesome reaction !!! Please just do the rest of the movies in this series. H20 was my favorite aside form the original.
@Cinema Rules How awesome !!!
I have three that I have been hoping you'd react to.
1. Storm Of The Century ( Stephen King )
2. The People Under The Stairs ( Wes Craven )
3. Mystic River ( Clint Eastwood )
You two can decide which one you'd like to watch.
♥️
@Cinema Rules thank you for choose me. I really appreciate it and enjoy watching your guy's reaction. Can't wait to see the reaction 😊
You should react to Halloween H20 it was almost bigger than this film at the time for being 20 years later and being post Scream.
Great video. Love the reactions and your takes at the end both comparing it to the original as well as becoming it's own film. If I had one critique it would be just put your phone away for the duration of the film. Was a little disappointed that Tom missed the broken neck scene because he was staring at his phone. Other than that, terrific entertainment, thanks fellas!
Totally agree, I have always had a pet peeve with films, that if you're watching one for the first time there is no reason to have your face in your phone, you can just miss good story beats and moments! And doing it in a theater just infuriates me to no end. Total lack of respect for everyone around you, ignorant as fuck
I am STUNNED that you liked this better than the original. I could barely force myself to stay in the theatre, and I am a HUGE Halloween fan. I also wish you guys would've viewed "Halloween: H20" before you did this one!
Watching right now. Waiting for the first "Definitely, 100%" hehe
😂😂😂
You know me too well!
I'm gonna start a drinking game. Keep up the good work guys
While I did NOT love the H20 erasure. I did really enjoy this film.
You guys are great, lots of fun. I’d love to see a review of Fright Night.
Nice work blokes, great watch!
The awkward comedic moments/writing took me out of a lot of the tense moments of this film. The father in the movie was just an idiot and shouldnt have been there in the first place, along with the Dr Sartain twist being a major mistake. Overall was a good sequel but didnt live up to the hype for me.
Better than the original? Blasphemy! :P Haha, jokes aside, the original Halloween is my personal all-time favorite horror movie, but that's probably because I saw it when I was 12 and it scared the living heck out of me. It had a profound impact on me and on my love for horror movies general. I can understand that you two prefer the 2018 Halloween since it has better effects, better acting and better writing overall. I do think it is among the best sequels, perhaps arguably THE best sequel, although my mind is not set on that (I think Halloween 4 and Halloween H20 might also take that honour). That said, I do have my issues with this one. The comedy aspect, I find, clashes with the serious and gritty tone of the murders and the film's general esthetic, and I find it jarring. For example, a movie like Scream perfectly pulled off the comedy with the scares, but Halloween 2018 just doesn't get that balance. I also agree with Shaun here that the premise of this movie is very far-fetched, and I kind of dislike how Michael Myers is practically treated like a legend, despite the fact that this movie retcons all of the others.
18:13 that face he gave you tho....Gold
The way he slammed the trunk down got my goose bumps bro was pissed
Now I'm curious what you guys would think of Halloween 20 years later. (H20) Oh, and please don't ever watch Halloween Resurrection...the worst Halloween film by far imo. (Actually, your reaction would be funny to see tbh)
I actually thought Resurrection was the first Michael Myers movie that actually did something different rather than the same general plot over and over again. It also had a bit more fun than the others. I think Halloween 6 Theatrical version is worse.
King Fu Busta Rhymes is a memory that's seared into my brain forever 😂😂😂
@@timloader oh yeah Halloween 6 was just God awful. Total slap in the face to the franchise. Idk though ressurection is not far behind it. I didnt feel like it brought anything of substance to the story at all. And killing Laurie that way was a total slap in the face to the character. Much better ways to not include JLC than to have her fall off a damn building.
