Halloween2018

With original director John Carpenter's blessing, Green manages something that is both a tribute to and an evolution of the 1978 classic, with moments designed to create resonances that are not just re-enactment but part of his bigger theme of trauma-causing scars (there are also, in a nod to his days as an Austin resident, a couple of subtle visual nods to the original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre).

大卫·戈登·格林是个优秀的导演，恐怖氛围的营造和摄影都很正点，但是这种故事满地bug，情节毫无逻辑的虐杀片到底好看在哪里？大反派杀人狂在监狱里蹲了40年，刚越狱就可以迅速追杀到当年受害者的后代，杀死的那个保姆竟然是女孩的朋友，这个小镇是有多小啊。诸如此类的逻辑实在让人费解，可能观众只能不带脑子，自愿被那些40年前的老套虐杀桥段惊吓吧，时代进步了，这种恐怖片打着致敬经典的幌子，还在原地踏步。这可是40年了，万圣节系列竟然还在原地踏步。

As with Carpenter, build-up is the thing (Michael is mostly talked-about for the first half-hour), and producers Blumhouse’s trademark jump-scares are a nice stylistic fit.
