Halloween is a sequel to Halloween, but not Halloween. As in the Halloween continuity, not the Halloween one. There's a lot of damn Halloween movies called Halloween... Either way, Jamie Lee Curtis returns as Laurie Strode to Haddonfield where we see absolutely nothing happened since the original movie. However, her plot sense tells her to spend 40 years preparing to take out Michael Myers!

When Laurie finally confronted Michael I thought a neat twist could have been to have Michael not know who she was. Just have him tilt his head when she called out his name. It's just my opinion but it would have been an interesting contrast with Laurie to spend 40 years obsessing over Michael, damaging her relationships all the while Michael didn't even care enough to bother remembering her.
To be honest, that was the impression I got from the movie anyway. Michael doesn't really react to Laurie in their first meeting in the movie and seemed content to just wander around and kill random people. It's only the doctor bringing him to Laurie's place that brings the climax with them together and I just got the impression that Michael honestly didn't care who Laurie was.
Gerardo Munoz Yeahhhhh, the movie didn’t really capitalize on the overpushed fact of them not being related anymore. They made a big enough hullabaloo to break the sibling connection, but it really amounts to jack.
plus hes senile
If I ain't mistaken, I actually think Michael kept thinking about her. Think about it. Michael is pretty much just a predator who seeks to kill... and nothing else. He has no empathy, no regret for his actions, nothing. All he wants... is to kill. Once he sets his eyes on a target, he'll go for that person because it's pretty much his prey. And on the wiki I spotted the fact that Michael has a rare condition called ''congenital insensitivity''. He doesn't feel pain whatsoever. Combine that with the fact that he's a sociopath and there we go. You got a monster who doesn't feel regret, empathy and especially no pain (shot in the shoulder by a revolver, hit by a car, fingers blown off by a shotgun, shot in the face, tumbled down stairs... he just gets back again as if it was nothing) AND who has pretty much a hunter/predator mentality. He doesn't go as far as killing small children (as seen in that scene with the baby crib) because they pose no challenge or threat to him whatsoever.
As for Laurie... she was the one who actually escaped him years ago. So she basically became his best prey. His most precious target. That's why I think Michael won't stop hunting her until either she gets killed or he gets killed himself.
The bottom line detail that people seem to miss is the firdt halloween film had a tag line of "Fate". It is fate that brings them together. They are a ying yang relationship. He did for get her, until that climax she showed him who she was. Its fate that brought them back. The idea of pure evil against a simple frightend and stained individual.
Granma: Here's 4grand dearie, skip town till Thanksgiving.
Me:Dont got to ask me twice.
Me good looking out japan here i come.
Me: wanna get fucked up?
@@WooZIE997 me: Yes
And notice she is worried about her granddaughter! Notice granddaughter tells her to forget about Michael and not Michael Myers! Called him on a first name basis! They are related
19:48 "If this is what it comes to, I can make my own damn sandwiches!" This got me, I ain't going to lie
Bro me too 😂😂 caught me totally off guard
3:09 this got me
Me too.
why do they always transport him on Halloween, haven't they learned their lesson from literally every other time, along with the fact that it's his birthday.
Why transport him at all though
@@burntgrahamcracker2866 sometimes transport is necessary, just don't do it on Halloween, that's all I ask
Technically the other ones don't exist so technically they haven't moved him on Halloween before. The first movie they were going to transport him the night before
since when is it his birthday ..
Michael’s birthday is October 13th I believe
Wait....you haven't done Chucky Marathon have you? I'm hoping for this summer
or scream
Me too 🤞🏽
NP138 not that i know of
Do Summer of Chucky, since a remake's coming 🤞
As in that series that doesn't even follow it's own damn rules.
So he becomes more human the longer he's in the doll except he can get resurrected after being dead for more than 15 hours along with after being reassembled.
People can hate this movie all they want. BUT...they can't say that John Carpenter's score was bad. The score is the absolute best part of this movie.
Ongo Gablogian The Art Collector Damn straight! Now if only he had written the script.... Danny really has no clue when it comes to writing a horror movie. The peanut butter penis joke being the lowest point.
It was better than the other crappy sequels and that pointless 3rd film that had nothing to do with Halloween Franchise or Michael Myers and was supposed to be the start of films that would see different Halloween stories released but then they decided fuck it lets just go back to Michael killing people
Mark Pugh yea, that was a problem that needed addressing 3 decades ago.
KINDA too late to change that.
This movie was fine and provided the best Michael Myers performance right next to Nick Castle
marty uribe nice opinion. The comedy was unnecessary I completely agree, but so was unnecessary amount of totally’s in the first film. Or Annie’s not give a shit performance.
I’m just excited to see what they do for Halloween Kills. People may be angry that it’s being too much of a slasher...but umm...HALLOWEEN IS A SLASHER FRANCHISE, you can’t really erase that fact like you could the other stories.
I love how his wife plays as micheal Myers in every Halloween review 😂😂
Wait...Decker is MARRIED?!
Mitch Fletcher indeed
@@ThatHorrorGuy99 I knew they were engaged. When did they get married?
Jim Wells I don’t know if they’re actually married yet.
@@ThatHorrorGuy99 Huh. Good for him!
Decker's work ethic is inspiring. Hell, the dude even goes out of his way to name each and EVERY character's actor. That's damn cool, and I don't know any other UA-cam reviewers that go that far.
I agree deckers hair aint the only thing thats awesome. Love that guy
Deckers hair aint the only thing that amazing dude is awesone
He doesn’t name Every characters actor I noticed that in Halloween 4 and others
This doesn't come close to halloween 2
Decker is the unsung hero of this format. He’s easily one of my favorites and I could watch his videos all day. Sometimes, I do lol
It's a small thing...but I always appreciate how Decker includes the actor's name, even for the small roles
I’m a simple man. I see a Decker Shado notification, I watch
We're simple men
Simple tastes and wishes to have granted... Huzzah!
Stop.
Cult of Shado
well yeah.., as long as it's not his awkward fails of live&wired and there is no signs of his cringe sidekick.
Its because carpenter regretted making michael and laurie siblings, that they decided to remove that. Because making them siblings, took away the scariness of Mikey, because he got motives in stead of being pure evil. And i say it like this: He isnt going after laurie in this one, he just goes to where the road leads him, which is, kinda creepy
I really like how Decker is educated in firearms, unlike other horror movie reviewers who call shotgun shells "bullets"
"It was horrible, sweetie. She taught me how to protect myself and how handle...how yo handle...guns!"
Decker talks about the reference to the original when Laurie is stalking her granddaughter at school like Michael did to her in the original. But as he said this we hear the teacher in the background say "His method is TOTALLY helpful." That voice is PJ Soles who was also in the original. And who also says the word (Totally) what seems like every other word in her dialogue!! So there's another reference within a reference. Sorry just had to get that out there.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that
I knew it was P.J. but I never noticed her saying "totally" in the background. Nice catch!
@Lars Day. And in the scene where Laurie sees Michael looking at his reflection in the mirror Michael's played by Nick Castle for that one scene. Castle also does Michael's breathing too. James Jude Courtney does the rest though.
@@Xehanort10 Correct, shame Nick couldn't do more. But that little head nod while locking eyes with Laurie made it a legit reunion. Courtney is one of my new fave Shapes now. He did awesome! Everybody was on point in this flick. Even with the flaws ( very few). Everyone in front of the camera and behind did a fine job.
Yep. The only things I didn't like was that Cameron, Ray, Oscar and the 2 comedy cops were completely pointless characters, Judy Greer's bad delivery when Karen's telling Allyson about her childhood, some bad comedy like the "peanut butter on my penis" bit and the cops talking about their sandwiches and the whole Halloween dance subplot wasn't needed and was just there so Allyson would lose her phone so Laurie wouldn't be able to tell her Michael was on the loose. Apart from that the rest was great.
Dont forget the breathing at the ending of the credits
I found the last shot of the knife was meant to be more thematic than insinuating she'd become a killer.
No
Yes
Maybe.
Kinda.
Honestly speaking this was one of the best times I've had in theater. I would never call this a masterpiece. Hell, I wouldn't even call this a good horror movie. But the way they portrayed Michael is just fucking badass. I'm in total, fucking love with how brutal they portrayed him. Also that gas station scene with him throwing the teeth at her was one of the coolest things I ever saw in a horror movie. I don't know what it is exactly, but I love it.
Sequel to the original Halloween... Why not call it Halloween 2 (didn't stop em last time) or heck give it a subtitle. Halloween; endures, survives, eternal. Something
apex2000 #Eternal sounds awesome
I guess it's because calling it something else, or calling it 'Halloween 2', will make people think that it is a sequel to another movie, and people might not want to go through the efforts of watching the previous sequels to make sense of this one. Calling it simply 'Halloween' draws more people to it, especially those who've never seen a Halloween movie before, and it gives the illusion of it being a reboot or a remake, which it is not. It's nothing more than a marketing strategy. The filmmakers of The Thing (2011) did the same thing by calling it the same name as JC's The Thing (1981), even though it's a prequel to that movie. It's a marketing thing, I guess.
Rights. A different company probably owns h2 and the title - notice the "new" Halloweens have no numbers and titles totally different from any preceding entry
Halloween: The Escape Of Micheal Meyers
If this is a sequel.... then to which 1? In the first one they didn't catch him. In the second they burnt him alive (however you want to put it). So wouldn't it shouldn't they had a story about that? Just a thought
Dude Decker somebody mentioned a Child’s Play review marathon this summer. Just wanted to put that out there, I think that would be awesome.
But I’ll watch no matter what it is lol.
I personally enjoyed Halloween 2018. Obviously it's not going to be for everyone, and yeah the comedic parts along with the acting were hit-and-miss honestly.
the film sucked 2 stupid cops were terrible should have been cut out like alot of shit
G Kroll people can have opinions you fucknugget
Its not a bad movie, but I wish It had more suspence and exiety It gave me in the last 20 min. The whole looking for Michael inside the house was Very good
The power of decker shados hair compels you to smash that like button... or Michael-Timmay Myers gonna cut you up!
Deckershadow deserves more that 100k + subscribers he should be closer too 1 mill
Agreed. This guy does great reviews and is without a doubt one of the funniest people I've seen on this site.
Many of us have been saying this for a long time. If I remember correctly, I subbed when he was around 30-40,000 subs and saying the same thing. He will get there ! :)
Lol nah not really.
Still no justice for Ben Tramer.
Since Halloween II didn't happen in this continuity it's possible he's still alive here because the last mention of him in the original is Annie saying he went to get drunk with his friend. He might have been one of Laurie's husbands in her 2 marriages since she mentioned she wanted to go out with him in the first film. Which also means he might be Karen's dad.
Justice for Ben Tramer!
Surely this is justice for Ben Tramer as in this continuity Halloween 2 never happened, meaning he's either still alive or died in circumstances unrelated to Michael Myers
They should’ve had Ben Tramer be Karen’s dad 😂
@@Anavaeebaee he could be. Could also be that male nurse, Jimmy. I know Halloween 2 isn't canon, but one can theorize. They said Laurie was married twice, maybe it was to them.
why for the love of god does everyone in horror movies with a crowbar hit with the blunt side?
yknow, if you hit it with the bent pointy side you can kill someone in one it.
BUT NOOOO
Because it could get stuck and if it's not a kill shot, you're fucked.
Its sad but this is how I watch new movies now through a decker filter
me too
Same
It's not sad though. It's a time-saver with a few chuckles and guffaws.
It's okay, Nitro. I eventually found myself watching movies with a Cinema Snob filter on these days. I guess it's inevitable when you watch an Internet critic for long enough.
Not sad, not sad at all
MYERS CURSE ENDS
HALLOWEEN 2019!
Watch the teaser here:
ua-cam.com/video/oyjKTY5nPIg/v-deo.html
Stellar! Can't wait. 👍🏻
Subbed
"If this is what it's come to, I can make my OWN damn sandwiches!"
Bruh I laughed for 30 minutes 😂
I had to take my inhaler
The dance always kills me 🤣🤣🤣🤣 please make a compilation bro. Keep up the good work.
Dr. Sartan's character arc ruined what I thought was a pretty solid Halloween film.
In this timeline Laurie really didn't have a reason to be so paranoid. She was only terrorized by Michael for a single night forty years ago, he's never escaped again, and they don't have a personal connection. It only really makes sense if the previous Halloweens all happened and Michael accidentally killed the wrong woman back in Resurrection.
Yeah, but are you really expecting consistent writing from a franchise that started from a drugged up hippie and has brought back the main characters in over 4 timelines?
1:42 thank god that it’s confirmed we get Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends,
Unless your name is DeckerShado in which case you are NEVER free of this curse!
I feel like they could have done more with the investigative journalists; it went from being an interesting, indie type film to a generic horror. The music was excellent though.
Just in case anyone didn't notice....Decker is a karate master and knows about guns. So don't mess with him! Lol
KENPO dingus not Karate he says second degree brown belt in Kenpo. That's the art of "sword" play. Damn fool how did you miss that. He never says he knew Karate.
Michael Myers is 61 years old in this.
HALLOWEEN AARP edition 😐
And with sequels to come
He’s not much older than Tom Cruise. Think about that
63
he's so old in this one that the teeth he dropped over the bathroom stall were his
Hallowars: The Rise of Darth Myers
Whatever ripping software you have been using lately really washes out the picture but great video though
11:25 Wow... sorry, Karen. Feel bad all you want, buuuuut… you've got nothing on John Connor. HIS mother get sent to a mental asylum after getting caught trying to blow up a computer lab.
Seriously, as similar as Laurie and Karen's relationship is to John and Sarah Connor... I can't help but feel a bit let down that it wasn't as brutal as I was led to believe in other reviews that quoted how Laurie trained Karen how to fight as a child. Seeing the flashbacks in this video and hearing the voice-over, I'm just... kind of disappointed. Oh well. It doesn't make the movie bad, just not quite what I had expected.
"pushy is not exchanged by the laws of supply and demand!"
i casually listen to these reviews at work but that line actually made me laugh
It’s Not Even The Summer Of Halloween 🎃 Yet?
This was a good sequel indeed. I prefer H20 though.
BTW, Decker, will you review Terminator Salvation and Terminator Genisys soon, given the new Terminator film is coming out later this year?
H20 and this one were OK. But, apart from 3 (which took place in an entirely different reality) all the other sequels were garbage.
I'm already looking forwards to the next mediocre Halloween movie in 2038!
I liked Halloween 2 and 4, but I agree the rest are crap.
12:05 He also called his son Lumpy proving that he's far more evil than Michael.
I always wondered why, if Laurie was so traumatized by the whole thing, what made her have a kid? Who then had her granddaughter? Was there a time she was like "eh, its no big deal?"
Do you do voice acting? I think you'd be good at it.
The mask was perfect, Michael was intimidating again, I love that they had the balls to kill a kid, the soundtrack was amazing, and there was some great scenes but overall I didn't like this movie.
All the male characters were written to be stupid and/or douchebags, Judy's acting wasn't believable for most of the movie (especially when she was telling us about her "horrible" childhood), all the references to the original movie became tiring, the ending was underwhelming, and the post credit tease was annoying.
Great review as always Decker, though there's no escaping from the Curse Of Cock lmao.
Yeah, unfortunately this movie had to tow the 'wahmen good, men bad' line most hollywood movies have been shoving out lately. Which is unfortunate, because it's the bad writing that really keeps this movie from becoming as good (or possibly even better) than the original. It doesn't really matter how good the rest of the movie is, little things like that that make the audience stop and go 'huh? Why?' ruins suspension of disbelief, which is very much needed in any movie like this.
And don't forget making the men as feminine as possible. Of course the kid takes a dance class, of course the daughters boyfriend dressed like Bonnie instead of Clyde, of course the husband is useless.
100% right.
You know i just realized that just now.. That this is just another sjw movie even if it does have some entertainment and some scenes i loved but you are right every single male is not a man there is no masculinity here there is not a single true man in this film at all. Where you see the all mighty women in the end of the film victorious and not a single man left alive at the end....Sigh this is why i can not in good faith watch any current film being made today not even alita which i was a big fan of the original manga series they just made it about waman politics.
And also when the babysitters boyfriend tries to display the natural masculine trait of bravery he gets killed for it....So men should be cowards???
I really laughed hard at the Ben Tramer reference.👌🤣😂
The jerk boyfriend lives and the neighbors actually help until the police arrive? Yes! The horror tropes have been given the finger. XD
You're rude and nasty telling them to shut up. I thought it was a funny comment rooted in truth. You responded like a child. Are you 8 years old?
The jerk boyfriend got some pussy tho whereas the nice guy friend didn't just like in real life lol
They escaped on the truck ala Texas chainsaw massacre ending.
I have no idea why Decker is afraid of Michael Myer on an electric wheelchair.
Michael on a traditional wheelchair on the other hand...
I can't get enough of the Halloween Dance.
at 20:08 you missed the obvious reference to Halloween III: Season Of The Witch, all 3 of the exact masks are right there
Props to them for actually setting up a character slipping when running
We are going to need a storytime video about your childhood decker
I've missed dancing Michael 🕺
The Stabbin' Boogie!
So did i
0:20 Cat was like "Yo, Decker. You know you can't kill the curse."
Does this mean that loomas didn't " shoot him six times"
He did...he shot him 6 times in the 1st movie
@@kristalwiley3648 yes but he didnt confirm it to the cop. He shot him six times, but he never said "i shot him six times"
The thing I hated most about them wiping away Halloween II was by taking that away it makes Laurie's idea that Michael would hunt her down ridiculous. They could have easily removed the Michael/Laurie sibling thing without taking that movie away. It was pointed out by someone else, that Michael in this new series never searches out Laurie more than he just happens across her.
Pissed myself when the black kid came with..... "hell no".
This and "4" are my favorite sequels in the franchise, though I'm going to say I like "4" more.
The movie definitely seems pretty cookie-cutter overall. And damn, those jump scares. Thanks for the review!
People complain about jump scares but if you know and follow horror films suspense, shock, surprise all those things that make up jump scares are literally the backbone of horror films. That especially the climatic and eerie scores that builds up during the suspenseful parts of the movies and the kill scenes.
Dr Sartain: say something/ Michael Myers: … something (head smash)
I feel like Decker is the only person so open about their actually abusive childhood.
I wonder if he gets the urge to punch people in the face who "hate their parents" that paid for college and still supports them like me.
From one "child called it" to another, you are doing damn well and glad we both didn't end up as cannibals.
I know she wants Michael dead but damn she needs a hobby honestly if i was her id just move away he cant kill you if he doesn’t know what different State,Country,Continent your in and shes old enough to be retired by now move take a break.
To be honest, if I could say I spent my childhood learning to handle all manner of weapons, training in various forms of hand-to-hand combat, and having a badass basement that constantly threw sparks, I'd say that was a pretty awesome childhood.
Why do modern writers have to labour ever single point? Shite jokes don't magically become amusing with repetition.
Not gonna lie, been waiting for this one
"If this is what it comes to. I can make my own damn sandwich"
You funny af bro
That was another great video review. I actually love watching the Michael Myers dance moves in every video it is featured.
I like how cameron comes back in Halloween kills.... Wait
I like how they did a artistic flare as an artistic flare
Idk why, but at 27:00 the gun shot and you saying “tactical” right after was the most satisfying combo 😂
At least in this one there's a good reason the killer does the Slasher Film Slow Walk everywhere. . .he's 61! lol
Instant huge smile and drop everything when a Decker notification is waiting for me :-)
"So to put it in another way, I have no Fucking idea!" Lol omg Decker you are the absolute best 😂😅 and you'd think you'd have some idea I mean you are engaged 😂😂😂
I really enjoyed the scenes of Laurie referencing the old spooky Michael scenes. It's like "oh look, shes Halloween now."
That monolog on lomus is the best thing ever. As it's how everyone should treat slashers
Sort explanation: What happens when you try to turn a classic horror story into a girl-power movie, but the people you hire are actually competent.
Not bad for two grand parents fighting each other.
GOD!!!!!! I freaking hate Ray’s line about peanut butter.
Yeah, it was pretty stupid and the presence of his character was grating, it was quite satisfying when he died.
Because?
It would have been great had he used his voice when he was Artie the strongest man in the world! Lol
Halloween 2018 is so overrated Most people just like it as a sequel because they all like this is our version of Halloween for our generation smh
This my order
1. Halloween 1978
2. Halloween 4
3. Halloween 2 1981
4. Halloween H20
5. Halloween 3
6. Halloween 2018
7. Halloween 5
8. Halloween Resurrection
9.Halloween curse of Michael Myers
10. Halloween 2021
whats to be confused about?
John's Carpenter's Halloween
Rob Zombie's Halloween
David Gordon Green's Halloween
done
Tires not squealing on dirt roads isnt necassarily true, I live on a dirt road in bumfuck florida and ive done it.
Still having HDR10 problems?
I'm telling you: don't bother with 4k, it's not worth the effort.
We see his face WAY too much in this movie
? Honestly we see it much less than even the first film, lmao. 5 and RZH2 show it even longer as well..
Man I remember subbing to this channel about 2+ years ago when he was around 10k. Really glad he stuck around and built an audience, always thought he deserved at least 100k. Good stuff!
Yeaaaaah.....laughed my ass off at the "learning to shoot and fight" bits of the movie when I first saw it lmfao
You’re my new fav movie critic
That little grunt that Michael makes at 28:40 is so cute and funny :D
Laurie must have contracted the same company as In-Gen, to build her fence.
Heh
Here in Japan this comes out next month. Yay!! Halloween 2018 in april 2019.. so seasonal.
6:46 I beg to disagree. The elimination of the brother/sister thing, to me, makes Michael’s motives more unclear, making him seem more unpredictable and menacing. In the original series after 2, we all knew he was after his own blood and anyone who got in his way, making him seem less of a threat to everyday people who aren’t related to him.
Stumbled onto your channel...fucking brilliant!
The momentum the shape hunts Allyson theme oh yes
1978 - 2018 means michael was 40 years old wow the man still got his killing spreee
He was 21 in 1978.. making him 61 in 2018... and 63 in 2020
1:15
Basically what Godzilla series kept doing till the Final War.
Even though I love the franchise, I was sadly disappointed with this film. A few things: the teenagers' scenes were a bit cringey. I don't understand why they didn't use "Jamie Lloyd" (I felt that Karen was too weak a character). And didn't "Laurie" also have a son? (Josh Hartnett, H20?) - - I speak only for myself here, and hope that I didn't offend anyone with my opinion.
remember holloween 2 to resurrection never happen. this movie is a direct sequel to the first movie ignoring all the others.
@@atomic747 They still could've brought Danielle Harris back.
11:50. Decker! It's ok! Its not that movie. Its not that movie!
Does anyone notice Laurie sees her son - in-law being killed with her own eyes 👀....says nothing to her daughter 🤔 🤣!
Seeing this movie in theaters was the most fun I’ve had in terms of a movie-going experience in a long time. It was small, maybe ten of us, but damn everyone was having a good time. Every time that amazing synthesized soundtrack kicked in everyone was bouncing their heads and “dancing”. Some people were vocal (during the right moments) and funny as hell too. Despite all of us being strangers we all clearly had love for the Halloween franchise and were all enjoying seeing Michael on the big screen (cause for a lot of us we didn’t get to do that with the original, it’s always been through our TV’s). Definitely a movie that I’m fond of based on experience alone.
11:25 right?!? My childhood alone, at school was more traumatizing than that... firearms and self defense at that age would have been a blessing!
I thought you already covered this movie.
But apparently it just has the exact same title as multiple other movies.
Question. Assuming its the same mask....WHY THE HELL DID MICHEALS MASK AGE CHRONOLOGICALLY?! I mean It's one thing for it to become yellowed and crusty but this damn thing has age spots, crows feet, wrinkles and is sagging in spots. is the mask alive? I want answers to these slight artistic non issues damnit!
