No. 90 (2018) Halloween October 23rd.

Film No 90 (2018) Oct. 23rd.  6:30 PM  READING CINEMAS Belmont. 


"He is a killer, but he will be killed tonight." (Laurie Strode prepares herself for the inevitable confrontation).






The ultimate sequel to the original (1978). Jamie Lee Curtis returns as Lawrie Strode still recovering, in her own way, from her ordeal as a babysitter in the late seventies. Michael Myers has been chained and locked away in a psychiatric prison since the mayhem he caused 40 years earlier. John Carpenter returns in a production role and the sound, (music mainly) which made the original a ground breaker, set the same tension for the 2018 version. Lawrie has lived her life preparing for the day when she knows she'll bury both Meyers and her demons. Her house is a fortress, it's a metaphor for the protective cocoon she has placed around her daughter, Allyson (Andi Matichak) and granddaughter, Karen (Judy Greer). While all around her see Lawrie as a crack-pot, only she knows preparation is everything when it comes to a maniac like Myers. Halloween is "killing" it at The Box Office. 8GUMS.
