Sandler and friends doing a kids’ movie, which will always be an odd combo to me. Selena Gomez sounded like Miley Cyrus the whole time

More of a display of Hardy’s acting skills than anything else. It can only be so engaging when it's just him in a car yapping on the phone for an hour and a half, but I’ll be damned if he doesn’t manage to do the most with that

The way this movie opens doesn't even feel close to 1961, and the rest of the film often doesn't either. Some great dread and suspense through a haunting theme song, ambiguity, shadows, themes of repression, great acting, and uncanny statuesque poses that apparently helped inspire Carpenter's vision of Michael Myers. Easily a foundational film for the horror genre
