My movie review for the film Halloween Kills
To say I’m a little disappointed is an understatement, after the last movie was so good it was always going to have big boots to fill but this felt like a low budget B movie.
The story was a bit random and pointless mixed in with some very poor acting, it really made this a struggle to watch.
I did like the flash back scenes and Michael did look great, the kills were very cool but let down massively by everything else.
Definitely a home watch, hopefully they will sort things out before moving on with another movie.
2/5
Although I suspect even the hardcore fans of the last Green film would be disappointed even in a crowd. The biggest difference between the visions of Carpenter and Green comes down to momentum. The first “Halloween” is lean and mean, whereas this movie can’t maintain focus for longer than a few minutes, and so it tries to use cheesy, overheated dialogue to impart seriousness that the pace lacks. In particular, Laurie’s monologues are a mish-mash of nonsense about unstoppable evil. And fans will be truly sad that she barely leaves the hospital or even impacts the plot, which is a baffling decision given how much fans of the last film praised Curtis’ return, seeming to tie Myers and Strode together before untying them here.
