Halloween (2018) [4K UHD + Blu-ray]

Scary movies today are simply jump scare, after jump scare. Yeah, it'll get you the first time you see it, but when you watch the movie a second time, you can anticipate the scares which can take away from the entertainment factor. Halloween 2018 does the exact opposite. It isn't chock full of jump scares, and the few jump scares that appear are even more entertaining to see again and again. There is a sense of nostalgia for the classic horror icon Michael Myers, and this movie reminds the audience why he is so famous. The story is also good, developing characters such as Laurie Strode from the original Halloween 1978 in a forty year gap, growing on how she handle the trauma from losing her friends in the previous movie. That being said, this movie is worth your time of day.

As a viewer, the Halloween Michael Myers movie is an adrenaline-fueled rollercoaster of terror. With each suspenseful moment and bone-chilling scare, it keeps you on the edge of your seat, delivering an unforgettable and spine-tingling experience. We now watch this every year.

This is the Michael Myers I remember, my favorite thriller killer, this movie brought back the thrill in thriller movies for me, very nice writing, story line is perfect, making sense, isn't just the same shtick again, adds just the right amount of depth with out over doing it like the past RZ movies, for those that don't know, this is sort of a reboot, this movie continues after the first Holloween, ditching the other movies's story line and replaces it with a new story line, great movie, now we need a Jason vs Michael Myers movie, my money is on Michael Myers, always.

Me likey: + The film in both Blue Ray and Ultra HD + The SteelBook case is cool + The price is fair Me no likey: - The extras are a bit lacking I loved the film, and appreciate that the filmmakers tried to stay true to the original. For the most part it works, though there’s still moments where the powers-that-be deem it necessary for Myers to do things that he doesn’t do (like kill random people completely unrelated to the story or his agenda). They also felt the need to include OTHER characters that are willing to do the unspeakable, making the Myers mythos less scary as a result. These sound like nitpicks, but they do make you suspend your disbelief that much more. Horror films have a long history of using gore to manipulate the audience, but Halloween never needed it due to the film’s pacing, framing and high suspense. So it’s peculiar that Halloween 2018 ups the gore level from the original considerably. Of course times have changed since 1978 and, it’s not over-the-top gruesome — it’s not even bad, it’s just that it’s a shame that the filmmakers think it’s necessary. Gore doesn’t faze me, but I think for a Halloween movie that looks to the original as its inspiration, it sort of cheapens it. Otherwise, Halloween 2018 tries very hard to do the original justice and, for the most part it succeeds. Jamie Lee Curtis is as outstanding as you’d expect her to be. James Jude Courtney gives Myers the respect the character deserves, and supporting leads Andi Matichak and Judy Greer are excellent. There’s quite a few trope-ish characters that are mostly set up to die, but that’s a given. I like the SteelBook design, and I appreciate the separate discs to support both formats. There’s some obvious extras, like commentaries and featurettes, but in my opinion, they could’ve done better for this release. I feel like both the film and this release are about on par with one another: Really good but not quite amazing, so I docked a ⭐️.

If the killer is a woman (ladies give a shot) • Survivor means the characters that Mike is trying to Kill • Please play/Drink responsibly

Blu-Ray looks Amazing Disc is Exactly as Described & Arrived on Time

Plot is questionable, but Michael is still intimidating after all these years. Its worth a watch in my opinion

Loved the movie. It was shot near my neck of the woods. One of the extras in the scene with the pinball machine was an old neighbor of mine. I lent him 50 dollars, but have not been paid back. I see he got some kind of an income coming in. Due to the fact he actually said something in the movie which means he got real money. So if you see him tell him that someone on Amazon has his number and needs his 50

Not too many horror cliches here - this is defintely one of my favourite horror films. Excellent sound effects and acting of Michael Myers. Not at all disappointed in this one - would never sell it.

C c'est întressant ca vaut coup de regarder halloween

La edición en Bluray merece la pena en cuanto a la calidad de imagen, que no defrauda. Si puedes cogerla en alguna rebaja de precio, aún mejor. En relación a la película, entretenida continuación de la primera de Carpenter.

NOTE: 1. US Edition. 2. Lacks Dolby Vision support (only HDR). "Halloween" (4K UHD + Blu-ray) arrived on time and in good condition. Thankyou to Amazon (Au) and Australia Post for a speedy despatch and a fast delivery. "Halloween" follows a familiar slasher storyline: escaped deranged psycho wreak havoc. At the start, the movie shows some promise: hyped up escaped psycho creating mayhem (carnage), a couple of passable kills and the inclusion of a modicum of the supernatural. However, the movie soon changes. With some "kills", we are privy to what occurs before and/or after the "kill", without actually seeing the kill (the main reason that I watch "slasher" movies). Such a pity. Such a lost opportunity. I prefer "slasher" movies whereby the victim (prey) is stalked before the kill. I like to see the fear and terror in their eyes as they are toyed with. Also, l like to see that fear turn to resignation as the victim "accepts" their impending demise. Furthermore, l like to see the resultant arterial blood spurt(s), blood spray patterns, blood pooling and any eviscerated innards, from the piercing attack, as their life ebbs. I found "Halloween" to be deficient in all these respects. The "kills" were over much too soon: a matter of moments. The build-up of anticipation, suspense and interest didn't eventuate, for me. The acting in the movie was acceptable. Although, in a couple of scenes, it was a little unconvincing. Jamie Lee Curtis gave a solid performance, perhaps a little overkill in this roll (viewed as a standalone film). Production (as undertaken) was competently executed: scenes were well framed with good camera angles. This revealed more action (detail) in scenes which increased my overall enjoyment (stopping my itchy finger from hitting the eject button). Both discs offer a satisfactory viewing experience. Although, the 4K UHD disc (preferred option) affords a significantly superior picture (detail and colour), particularly in dark scenes. I wasn't frightened once by "Halloween". It uses similar scenarios encountered in some other "slasher" movies. More of a watchable time "killer" than an engrossing movie. Overall, a disappointment.

He comprado esta peli un año después de su salida ya que en su fecha de salida me dio problemas. Ahora al fin todo va como tiene que ir con un audio y una calidad excepcional. Sin duda una de mis franquicias favoritas
