Halloween – Film Review
If you go by the numbers, technically, the new Halloween is the eleventh in the series. However, director David Gordon Green wants you to forget the middle nine. Evidently, like Bobby Ewing’s wake-up call in the shower, we have to assume all those previous outings were dreams, or in this case, nightmares. Not a difficult […]
