Fanit ovat olleet hieman kaksijakoisia siitä, mitä elokuvasta tulisi ajatella. Halloween on nimittäin jatkoa ensimmäiselle Halloweenille ja pyyhkii kaikki jatko-osat kaanonista pois.
Leffa näytettiin viikonloppuna Toronto International Film Festivalilla, joten onko siitä mihinkään?
On hyvä kuulla, että suurin osa reaktioista on sitä positiivisempaa puolta.
Elokuvaan on kommenttien perusteella ympätty mukaan myös huumoria. Leffasta löytyy myös todella paljon viitteitä sarjan muihin elokuviin, myös niihin jatko-osiin.
Ei kaikki kuitenkaan positiivista. Eräskin katsoja kutsui leffaa hirvittäväksi. Kuulemma todella tylsä ja ennalta-arvattava. Hänen mukaansa Jamie Lee Curtis menee aivan hukkaan. Toinen katsoja kutsui elokuvaa sotkuiseksi fanifilmiksi.
Alla Twitter-reaktioita.

#Halloween is vicious! Loved the continuation of Laurie’s story but the pure evil of Michael’s drive to kill and the randomness of it is there and it’s strong. Beautifully shot, score is on point, some great humor and loaded with gore. It’s the complete package.

#Halloween is suuuuper satisfying, not least because it’s a movie that actually gives Judy Greer something to do! #TIFF18

The new HALLOWEEN movie is trash. Not one legitimately scary moment and everything is played for laughs. Starts off with an interesting premise and fails to execute on it. #TIFF18

HALLOWEEN is a total blast and is going to make a killing at the box office. Blumhouse does it again. Jamie Lee Curtis is still kicking ass and taking names. I can see fans watching this over and over again. The best Halloween since the original. #HalloweenMovie #TIFF18 pic.twitter.com/TSbtXr5Nuy

HALLOWEEN is THE FORCE AWAKENS of HALLOWEEN movies: all the stuff you want, plus some new stuff, some dumb stuff, some delightfully remixed stuff. definitely the best time I’ve had at a #TIFF18 screening thus far

Loud applause for #HalloweenMovie – a clever redux that takes the slasher film in modern directions without losing any of its classic bite. A film by fans that works for general audiences as well, it's the best of both old and new #tiff18

I was always gonna be an easy lay with #HalloweenMovie but they really nailed it. Some will have quibbles — it’s maybe *too* funny, and one little twist might have been too much — but scary AF plus Force Awakens levels of fan service = very good times. #tiff18
