Looking forward to this, though pretty obvious the series will get another remake a few years down the line.
 
Halloween Kills was an incoherent stupid mess that squandered a really good setup from Halloween (2018) - honestly one of the worst movies i've seen, I really do struggle to get any enthusiasm for this.

Only real good part of kills was michael taking the beating and then massacring the mob, the whole "evil dies tonight" chant was so cringey.

Plus yer woman showing up with an iron to beat michael with was pretty amusing as well. :cry:

Damn I was not expecting that bit at the beginning with the boy falling, gruesome!

Got a few laughs, me included at the showing i was at, it just looked so totally over the top to propel him the way it did. :cry:

The bit with the tongue also had quite a few laughing, again me included. :p

I just finished it. I had it on pause for ages while I did other things, anyway it was pretty crap throughout but the ending was alright I guess... Sort of made up for the dross in a way.

He's definitely dead now after being minced in a machine but as Laurie said when she was writing her journal on the pc, evil changes shape.... So who knows what they'll do next. Great ending credits songs though haha


Plus his mask was sitting in her room as well.

It was a weird movie in a lot of ways, they at one point seemed to be considering the "thorn" subplot from the older movies where the "curse" could be passed on. I half expected Myers to somehow transfer himself into Coreys body so he was younger and able to basically start over, especially after that scene where Myers grabs him by the throat and seems to look into his mind.

There seemed to be more of a supernatural element to Myers this time around as well, at one point he was barely standing, then as he killed the cop you seen him regain his strength during and after the kill. It used to just show him being resiliant to pain, this movie one upped that with the cop killing scene. It's the first time we've seen him basically useless then re-energising essentially.

It's interesting though that the rumours way earlier in the year of Myers in this being a copycat killer sort of did pan out with Corey making a few kills in full Myers garb.

Just watched this with my boys. One of the worst films I've seen in a long time. Rubbish story and frankly ridiculous things occurred throughout. We all nearly walked out twice.

You must not have seen the previous movie then if you think this was ridiculous :p
 
I don't understand even why Myers just ..went away?...he killed the daughter at the end of the last, then...."meh..bit tired...best go lay down some sewer"...the f?....Best thing was he was constant pace relentless.

I think the end of kills was basically Myers in survival mode to survive the mob and that weakened him severely, he was shot, beaten, stabbed near the spine etc, he summed up enough strength to take them down and then Karen, but after that he went into hiding as he was spent. Considering how he is in this it seems to have weakened him to the point of being near useless, he wasn't the same Myers in this as evidenced by his confrontations with Corey and the fight with Lorie, he seemed a lot more vulnerable and not even remotely as resiliant. His only Myers-esque kill was to the small girl the doctor was trying to bone, which isn't saying much.

It was a bit weird how he seemed to basically "hulk up" during his encounter with the cop, he was stumbling about at the start of the fight and got stronger as he stabbed him and killed him, but even then he was nowhere neaar full strength, if he had been Corey would have never been able to put him to the ground and take the mask. Just seems age and injuries sustained caught up with him in the end.
 
Yes....thats a good take, but then why not SHOW something of that effect..a small flash back of him stumbling..breathing hard/ bleeding..crawling into the sewer to drop down etc..snap back to present day. I get that we shoulndt be hand held in film, I do hate it, but when its Myers, at the end of the second film ( of this trilogy) you are basically left thinking he is more than a "man" and more a personification of just unrelenting evil.

He was breathing pretty hard when you first see him, plus stumbling around, a flashback would have been a good addition but i think they sold his weakened state reasonably well when you see him getting knocked around so easily.

It'll be remade at some point in the future, these movies cost basically pennies to make compared to the cgi spoogeathons and basically always turn a decent profit vs their budget.

I seen the last one and i thought it was awful. Take it this one is not much better?

It's very different, tells a different story. IMO worth a watch so you can connect some of the aftermath from kills with this.
