Absolutely loved the Sopranos but found this film pretty boring overall.

The Forever Purge
I didn’t finish it. Switched it off as was just so bored. Complete garbage.

"Security" on Netflix. Antonio Banderas as a former Marine who takes a security guard position at a mall on the same night a bunch of paramilitary bad guys turn up. Watchable 90 minute action romp.
One thing that did annoy me though was when one particular character got shot, is carried to bed and patched up and then never seen, referenced or mentioned again. It's like they completely forgot the character.

You did right. Absolute tripe
When I search that, a few movies come up, but not the one you mention?
It’s the first choice when I search for it on Netflix. Now I see the synopsis I remember that I’ve seen it and it was good.
That's odd. It's vanished from Netflix. Even Just Watch has it with the Netflix icon but then it's not actually shown as being on there. They've obviously taken it down already.
I am a huge Halloween fan, and felt the same way.
I love the 2018 one, but decision making from some of the key characters in here made ZERO sense
Also I hated the whole Tommy Doyle :
"evil dies tonight" vigilante setup
It felt ridiculous and tantamount to Jerry Springer audience ranting.
6/10
Im just a horror fan but i am fond of the Halloween films. I also, like you, liked the 2018 one and i liked how it flashes back to the original but yea the film died when Tommy Doyle was introduced. Just became silly from then on and not remotely scary.

The Last Duel (2021) - 8/10
A relatively long story which didn’t feel long, even though it repeated the same scenes from different viewpoints, and it held my interest until the end.
Its presentation was a bit too bitty at times and some scenes and the subject matter did make me feel uncomfortable.
Great acting all round and apart from the odd CGI building, the scenery, castles, costumes and fight scenes all looked authentic, with the latter violent and captivating.

It seems to me, the people annoyed by the YouTubers are the ones that know who the YouTubers are?! Seems rather odd to me...
Haha yeah. I just assumed they were all actors!
Some parts were pretty cringeworthy, but on the whole it was pretty much a Myers murder marathon, some very brutal ones as well. I enjoyed it overall, it really showpieces why Myers is to be feared and just how much punishment he can take.
Seen people say it was dumb not having Curtis in it much, but she had been stabbed and undergone surgery, would be a bit much having her out combating Myers literally an hour or so later. This movie was the big set up for part three. it shows Myers to be virtually unstoppable and giving Laurie more motivation to end him with her daughter being killed.
I watched 1&2 back to back yesterday, both good but 2 is the better film, anything past 2 is garbage though.
In your opinion, what are the best horror films? My partner doesn't like them but I want to get in to some on my own.

6/10 is far too generous to Halloween Kills.
The script was awful, the acting was quite poor in places and everybody was an absolute moron. They mostly deserved to die because of their own stupidity.
The sequence in the hospital with the old man was absolutely laughable. A mob of 50 people can't keep up with a frail old fat man?
