"In September 2017, when I first laid eyes on the photo released of OG scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis standing with her former foe, serial killer Michael Myers, that announced a sequel to the 1978 original was incoming, I let out an actual squeal. The Myers franchise is my favourite of the iconic slasher series that hit screens in the late '70s and '80s, and I couldn't wait to see how a David Gordon Green-directed reboot would shake out. Spoiler alert: Curtis's older (but perhaps not altogether wiser) Laurie Strode kicks all the ass, having spent years preparing for another showdown with the homicidal maniac who murdered her friends decades earlier. This movie is wildly fun, features stomach-turning kills, and pays just the right amount of homage to the untouchable genius of John Carpenter's first stab at the story (pun very much intended)." — QK
