Endlich war es soweit. Auf dem Toronto International Film Festival wurde Halloween von Regisseur David Gordon Green (Joe - Die Rache ist sein) zum ersten Mal gezeigt. Natürlich hatte dies eine Lawine von Meinungen zu folge, die via Twitter über uns herein brachen. Unten haben wir euch einige davon eingefügt.
Im Großen und Ganzen kam der Film sehr gut an. Vor allemJamie Lee Curtis (Scream Queens) und der Soundtrack von John Carpenter (Halloween -Die Nacht des Grauens) werden hoch gelobt. Für einige, die den Film bereits sehen konnten, bot er aber zu viel Fan Service und wirkte im Mittelteil zu chaotisch. Uns selbst eine Meinung bilden können wir ab dem 25. Oktober, dann schlitzt sich Michael Myers auch über deutsche Kinoleinwände.
Welche Erwartungen habt ihr an den Film?
#Halloween is suuuuper satisfying, not least because it’s a movie that actually gives Judy Greer something to do! #TIFF18

Movie #9: HALLOWEEN. Fear not, @HalloweenMovie delivers. Some great kills that had me cheering. And lots of great references (& a cameo!) that harken back to the original. Great score by Carpenter and his son, Cody. I want to be as badass as the Strode women, someday. #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

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, THE NEW HALLOWEEN FUCKING RULES #TIFF18

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

The new HALLOWEEN is intense, with brutal kills, a killer score, and a powerhouse performance from @jamieleecurtis. An excellent companion piece to John Carpenter's original. #TIFF18 pic.twitter.com/ECBOrGwiUV

HALLOWEEN (david gordon greene): it somehow manages to do all the wink-nudge fan service bullshit and....not be annoying at all. the film is a miracle. and so much fucking fun. #TIFF18

#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.

They did it. They only went ahead and did it. #Halloween is the movie we wanted and it delivers gloriously. The Shape has never been more terrifying. #TIFF18

DGG directs the hell out of the new HALLOWEEN. There are some chilling shots, esp. during a motion sensor scene. I had nitpicks, like some goofy humor & the off-camera kills, but the gory ones really make up for everything we don’t see. Jibrail Nantambu is a fun scene-stealer. 🎃

Oh my God, the new #Halloween is SO FREAKING GREAT! I loved it! Can't wait for you all to read my review later Sunday! #TIFF18 pic.twitter.com/QpJMqnfUNw

Hell yeah, #Halloween rocks! So scary & pretty funny. The way it balances the freak-out and the nervous humor and the nasty kills is just fantastic. All of it plays so well together. Badass to the bone. Loved it. As David Gordon Green says, “it’s simple and relentless.”#TIFF18 pic.twitter.com/ZpebQfdAVF

So #Halloween is a whole hell of a lot of fun. It has a number of dynamite old school slasher sequences that make Michael a FORCE again, and Laurie Strode has never been better. Fans will love it. #TIFF

#Halloween: There’s an entire subplot in this that’s TERRIBLE and should’ve been cut. Thankfully, everything else is an absolute blast. Brutal, scary, and yes, funny. #TIFF18

For those waitin on word from the #TIFF screening of HALLOWEEN 🎃 lemme set your mind at ease. David Gordon Green brought the goods! Plenty to ❤️4 fans of the franchise & genre, JLC brought her A game per usual, Carpenter’s score was 🔥 , but Jibrail Nantambu stole the show!

Um, why did I just cry in HALLOWEEN?

We Just Got Done Watching “Halloween” 2018 At @TIFF_NET And Guys OMG!! Your not ready, the kills are more gruesome, it definitely lives up to the original, Jamie Lee Curtis does absolutely OUTSTANDING In this film! We’re gonna give it at 9.5/10🎃 #HalloweenMovie #MichaelMyers

Jamie Lee Curtis returns as Laurie Strode and satisfyingly faces off against Michael Meyers 40 years later in David Gordon Green’s Halloween— in the style of John Carpenter and with his rocking score.#TIFF pic.twitter.com/MURzwjEgGG

Buzzkill warning: After months of hype, David Gordon Green's HALLOWEEN is just another lame HALLOWEEN sequel, adding almost nothing except comic relief to undercut the scares. I much prefer H20. #TIFF18
— AADowd (@AADowd) September 9, 2018
There is ONE scene that original fans are going to GO NUTS for. You know when you see it. The theatre erupted in screams and applause. #Halloween
— Joey Monda (@joeymonda) September 9, 2018
The new Halloween has a callback shot so inspired it could sell the entire movie. Luckily, it doesn’t have to. It’s an absolute blast.
— Matt Jacobs (@tarantallegra) September 9, 2018
Halloween was fucking fantastic! Gory, entertaining, scary and hilarious! Everyone brought their A game. Ya’ll ain’t ready. #HalloweenMovie #TIFF #TIFF18

#HALLOWEEN: Messy and overloaded with fan service, but Jamie Lee Curtis charges through it as if she never stopped running 40 years ago. There are two moments that lift images from the '78 version to brilliant effect. It's OK. https://t.co/ezck7vNsfd #TIFF18

HALLOWEEN: Best one in thirty-nine years. #TIFF18
— Norm Wilner (@normwilner) September 9, 2018
The new HALLOWEEN starts with an interesting premise. The ending is good. The rest was really disappointing. #tiff18

HALLOWEEN 2018: it shreds
