Sure, we can go for the original and tell you how great it is. With 2018's Halloween, this time directed by David Gordon Green, the long-awaited sequel (almost 40 years!) features an older, but more vicious Michael Myers. The storyline's great and the kills brutal, but, because this is a new trilogy, the two films after this didn't quit deliver like this one.
