Trivia
The film's producer is Malek Akkad, who is the son of Moustapha Akkad, the producer of the original 1978 "Halloween." Moustapha Akkad was murdered, along with his daughter Rima (Malek's sister), in the terrorist bombing of an Amman, Jordan hotel in 2005. Jamie Lee Curtis has recounted how the first person she saw when she came to the set for the first day of filming the 2018 film was Malek, who she remembered as a 7 year-old child visiting the set during production of the original film. She added that seeing Malek for the first time since his father's death immediately brought her to tears.

Goofs
When Michael Myers walks around Laurie's house, the view from the basement shows gaps, dust and even his footsteps through the floor. Earlier the floor was shown to be consisting of square floor tiles without gaps.

Quotes
Laurie Strode: Happy Halloween, Michael.

A Disappointing Mess

The easily entertained movie goers will be perfectly happy with this disaster of a film. But, people who are looking for a quality storyline or a finished movie with a clear direction will be extremely disappointed.

I mostly enjoyed the first half of the movie. The ending was the worst and most pathetic section, which ruined a lot of potential. Do not expect the ending to be better than Halloween Resurrection.

The film attempts to be original using an interesting twist, but timidly chooses a plain and boring formula for most of the film. The pathetic attempts at humor were a disaster, and made the film very messy.

The film doesn't do much to separate itself from the other sequels. It fails to be unique due to imitating other sequels which are supposed to be ignored. It felt like a lame remake instead of being a new and interesting sequel.

Don't get your hopes up. You will need to ignore the unfinished nature of this film in order to enjoy it. The trailer showed images that were never in the movie. Seems like very messy editing.

Halloween Resurrection was also bad, but the new movie was almost like The Last Jedi of Halloween films. But, an easily entertained popcorn muncher will enjoy it. It was unoriginal, uncomfortably unfunny, and unfinished. The soundtrack and Jamie Lee Curtis were the best things about this film. Just do not get your hopes up.
