Ranking October 2018's Movies From Worst To Best

10. Halloween

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 79% (6.8/10)

Box Office: The $15 million franchise reboot-quel smashed past expectations, becoming the highest-grossing movie in the series in its first weekend alone. It's already passed the $175 million mark worldwide, ensuring that Michael Myers will be a cinema mainstay for the foreseeable future.

Verdict: Easily the best Halloween movie since the 1978 original, this latest is incredibly far from perfect with its inane teen characters and needlessly absurd subplots, but it achieves the dual goal of making Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) interesting again and depicting Michael Myers at perhaps his scariest ever.

David Gordon Green and Danny McBride prove themselves a most unexpected source for revitalising the series, while a moodily intense new musical score from John Carpenter and his son Cody sure doesn't hurt.

Again, not a great film, but a great course-correction, even if it's hard to be enthusiastic about the cowardly final scene and the inevitable glut of sequels to follow.
