       I've never, ever given a f*ck about the Halloween franchise.
       Horror movies in general just don't deliver for me in anyway and
       this one in particular never grabbed my attention, even with
       people always talking about it. I've never seen any of the films
       and that includes the first one. Well, I have seen a handful of
       clips over the years given how iconic the movie is. So, what
       finally convinced me to finally sit down and watch this one?
       Well, when the Trailer dropped, it reminded me of T2 in a way.
       Where Sarah Connor was the victim in the first film, she herself
       becomes the "Terminator" in the followup and that's exactly what
       Halloween is with Jamie Lee Curtis to the role she made famous.
       The roles are reversed here with he character basically waiting
       40 years to finally exact her revenge. The fact that she is so
       much older just makes this all the more appealing. There is
       nothing better than seeing an older woman kicking ass and
       carrying a big Hollywood movie as she does.
       With that said, she really isn't in the movie a whole lot. They
       set her up at the beginning and she pops up here and there in
       the first 2/3 of the flick. Its not until the 3rd Act do we
       finally get what we are waiting for. One thing this movie did do
       that went against the "norms" of what is and isn't allowed in
       some of the other Horror movies I have managed to watch all the
       way through is that you never kill a child. That goes out the
       window at the beginning when Michael Myers does exactly that and
       that's what made it so shocking. Just figured the kid would
       somehow escape. I don't need to talk about the rest of the
       flick. It's a Horror movie, you know what that entails. But I
       will talk about the ending. Sequel. Sure, they "blow up Myers"
       in the house....but we never really see him perish. Definitely
       worth a Rent. I was entertained, which I didn't expect.
