    Hopefully the franchise ends here.
    This movie made an entire town (not just one or two people) but the entire town a complete senseless hillbilly like the type of people you see on TikTok.

    They set out on a movie long manhunt for Michael Myers and it's not even Michael Myers! It's some other looney from the nuthouse Michael was living in from the previous movie.

    I mean, they're all apparently traumatised by this man in their own ways and storylines yet no idea what he looks like but are determined this guy is Myers. Granted the beast wears a mask, but the person they set out for is this old short guy. Michael is old now, but built like a brick house. The body type alone is an OBVIOUS sign that it's not him. This alone infuriated me so much that I felt I needed to mention it in depth on a god damn review but it honestly shows what Hollywood thinks of Americans. Lacking any common sense and jump on a witch hunt the second someone says 'equal rights' mind blowing.

    An hour and half of wasted cinema with virtually zero horror - literally the entire movie is nothing more than a hillbilly town man hunt movie. I'm clashing it as a new movie genre. One that I hope to never have to endure again.

    Safe yourself the time and energy and watch LITERALLY anything else.

    Why the hate?
    I refuse to believe the rating of this movie is only .5 higher than Ends. It had so many great things going for it.

    1. Extremely accurate flashbacks to 1978.

    2. Seeing 1978 Michael Myers in action again.

    3. Seeing Dr. Samuel Loomis again.

    4. All the actor callbacks 5. The Myers house (accurate for the first time since H1) 6. Big John and Little John were awesome.

    7. Michael Myers was pretty frightening with his burned mask and brutal kills.

    8. Great ending!

    The one incredibly cheesy kill with the gun and car door, and "evil dies tonight" was meh, but damn this movie was so good! I do not understand what there is to hate.

    Almost killed me with disappointment
    Not sure if i'm in the minority of Halloween fans who enjoyed "Halloween (2018)" , i though Gordon Green made a strong attempt to recapture the magic that made the original such a classic. It certainly had it's flaws, but i felt the story and most of the characters did their job to entertain me.

    However, this attempt falls flat immediately by throwing logic and reason out the window and decides excessive gore and "fight" scenes are the pathway to following up the previous installment.

    This doesn't feel anything like a "Halloween" movie, but more like a cheap action flick where the "bad guys" gang up on the hero, only for the hero to conquer them one-by-one (because the group never attacks all at once, you see). Only the guy filling in for the "hero" in this thing is supposed to be the villainous psycho killer....yet it's not even worth caring about since the townies of Haddonfield are all moronic dopes with zero logic passing through their brains.

    Obviously the real blame lies with the Director and producers of this poor follow-up. I could be wrong, but couldn't help but feel the filmmakers were trying to cram a social message into this thing with the "lynch mob" chanting their ham-handed "evil dies tonight" message. It seemed like they were trying to say something with that and the mob attacking the wrong guy, but the message was so half-baked i'm not sure what it was.

    One part i enjoyed was after Myers attacks the group in the car, and Lindsey Wallace escapes from Myers, she hides by a creek nearby the park as Myers looks for her. I thought it was one of the most genuine moments of tension and panic in the entire film. Also, the score is solid. However, the story,acting and dialogue was horrendous even for a horror movie.

    Favourite Halloween
    This movie is awesome. This is Michael Myers. I'm not like most people who hate the whole " evil dies tonight" which they do say a lot, but it fits. But the kills in the movie are great, epic scenes like Michael vs the Mob. The slow reach down to grab his mask and putting it back on while staring down the whole town. The beginning when he takes out all the fire fighters one by one. When he kills Cameron in the stairwell and the music plays as he walks down the stairs to go after Allison. That's another thing, maybe the best music in ANY Halloween movie. Plus after seeing Halloween Ends, it really highlights how much better this movie really is.

    Its a Scary One, Eh Kids? - Halloween Kills
    I fondly remember Flaherty on Second City Television hosting a monster movie show. He would always comment "Its a scary one, eh kids?", when, in reality, it was just another children's piece of junk like this film; Halloween Kills. These films are not scary, and the reason they are not scary is because the monster is alwaus so predictable. The plots are always the same as well. Stupid people walking around making dumb decisions to enable the monsters to either kill them or some other deserving party. I only watch these films in our theater because my brother in law is the managar and I get free passes, coke and popcorn. If its not free for you, don't bother.

    Perfect, one of the best in the franchise
    Absolutely adore the Halloween franchise, never found anything to be as frightening as Michael Myers.

    In regards to the sequels some are amazing, others alright and a couple terrible ones but this latest entry is undoubtedly one of the best, easily top 3 and generally one of the best slasher films I've ever seen.

    It improves upon the 2018 reboot in almost every way. It is never boring, constantly had me on the edge of my seat and delivers gut wrenching brutality to really drive the evil of Michael home.

    The cast are all flawless, some familiar faces of which are so good to see again (Nancy Stephens and Kyle Richards to name a few). The directing, editing, cinematography just everything I cannot fault, it is practically perfect. Even loved the side plot of the destructive nature of mob mentality and the repurcussions in may inflict, very appropriate for this day and age.

    Just really appreciate the fact this is a straight forward and serious slasher, so if you're looking for that I cannot recommend this enough. Also loved the fact the cast weren't stupid teens rather intelligent adults. And this is genuinely frightening too, I don't get scared easy but this made me feel terrified in parts. The violence again is so disturbing at times but is so perfectly used.

    Please don't bother rating this if you can't appreciate a good slasher film. For everyone else, this is definitely a must see.
