There was nothing fresh about the story. There were elements from Halloween 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, H20, Resurrection, Rob Zombie's Halloween ll, Psycho, and Jason Goes to Hell. There was even some Scream 2 in there. They were even hinting at some Natural Born Killers shyt.
This shyt was disappointing especially when you consider how Gordon Green ignored all continuity except for the original, only to create a movie that was all of those movies rolled in one.
He really leaned heavy on that Rob Zombie H2 shyt too, the worst Halloween movie.
How the hell is Michael Myers not gonna Michael Myers until halfway through a trilogy ender?
I don't give a fukk if Mike is
or not. He needed that Halloween 5 hermit stimulus.
Now, it wasn't all bad. There were some cool kills. We got 3 Hall of Fame head stomps in the Halloween franchise now.
Corey got to live Dr. Sartain's dream and become a serial killer right in front of our eyes. And shyt finally got real when he put the mask on and got busy. But the problem was that it came way too late in the runtime.
Laurie crucifying evil incarnate was cool imagery with the stigmata. And finally getting to dispose of the Boogeyman in one of the most satisfying ways imaginable after 44 years. Thank God she ain't go out sad like she did in Resurrection.
Soundtrack was dope. Had go hit the
up on that "Burn it Down" track by Boy Harsher.
I don't know if I can put this below Rob Zombie's Halloween ll. That shyt was terrible. And Rob Zombie and I are from the same fukking city.
The final act and kills saved this shyt. Despite the elements from the franchise, it didn't feel like a Halloween movie until it was almost too late. Definitely worse than Halloween Kills. That was at least, a Halloween movie.
Ends narrowly avoids last place but it's duking it out in the bottom third of the Halloween batting order with 5, 6 and Resurrection.
I was supposed to see this on Thursday with my best friend and nephew. My other nephew, who is too young for Halloween, got a fever, fainted hit his head on the stove. Turned out that the poor kid contracted Hand Foot and Mouth when they were just at Universal. So, we couldn't go see this shyt in theaters. Thank Samhain and the Druids
I'm sorry for the long post but I love the Halloween franchise. I can all but assure you that I've seen every movie more than anyone here save for some absolute movie marathoning manicacs in middle America. I like Halloween 6. The original. Introducing Paul Stephen Rudd. Not the Producer's Cut. Michael Myers slashed the Stephen right outta that mothafukka. I write because I care.
I think I need to write a script for the my own Halloween movie. It's something one of my best friends from college and I talked about doing back in like 2010. I gotta rid the world, or, at least the Peacock audience, of this atrocity.
Evil definitely died tonight.
Donald Pleasence is rolling over in his grave.
