Official Blumhouse Halloween Thread

6/10

I didn’t like any of the characters outside of Jamie Lee Curtis.

I was actually happy he killed some of them. They had that shyt coming.

Some of these characters could’ve been left out and really had no reason for being there.

Her boyfriend especially.

That TURN they did I called that shyt early in the movie.

All the killing scenes in this were dope! Had me hit the :Jordancoverface: face a couple times.

The ending was trash to me. That “plan” they had, that coincidentally worked

H2O still my favorite one of them all. The first one too.

Saw it twice. Last night and tonight. Needed to get all my thoughts together because I've thought about it a lot. Hopefully this doesn't go too long.

For a while I've wondered how to make slasher's scary again. How do you make Freddy, Michael, Jason, and leather face threatening again? This movie answers that question. You have to make likable protagonists who exist to do more than just be knocked off. Truly gave a shyt about every character in the movie and didn't want to see any of them get brutalized and that's what made Michael so threatening and I loved every second of it.

Halloween is a dope flick. It moves, the characters are developed, the movie looks beautiful, the kills are brutal, and Michael moves like a cat. He really is somewhere between man and supernatural. There are two set pieces in the movie that nailed it for me: the tracking shot through the neighborhood and the motion light scene. It was funny when it needed to be, serious when it needed to be, and had a release of tension in the end. The score is fukking awesome and I don't regret copping it on vinyl last night either.

Loved the homages to the other movies and Laurie and michaels showdown was cleverly constructed while showing some character development. Best of both worlds.

There are a few quibbles with Laurie's consistency as a character and a third act "twist" that would've made more sense had they did the work to really earn it. There's also some writing issues with Allison and her boyfriend but that's minor.


Other than that, I thought it was a great horror flick, a great movie, and easily the 2nd best movie in the franchise. Glad this movie is making a killing this weekend because I want to see more. Getting rid of all the continuity worked so well for this because it made Michael a random killing machine with seemingly no rhyme or reason; just instinct. There’s a scene in the neighborhood where he could easily go after two people and chooses not to but instead goes after someone else and it’s scary as hell. Not because it’s surprising but because of its randomness. That’s what makes this movie work as well as it does.

Thumbs way the fukk up to everyone involved and God bless Jason Blum.

I had a feeling you’d like it. I think I’m noticing that most of the people in here that didn’t like this one liked the sister angle and maybe even the thorn stuff or the rob zombie trash. This one is easily the closest to the first.

I like the sister angle. Michael seem and acted much smarter in the old movies. In this one he just kills just to kill

 

[Deltron]

In this one he just kills just to kill

have you not seen the first one, which this is a direct sequel to?

 

[Dreamzeedream]

Yea. But he wasnt just roaming out in the open amongst people. This man dint even try to hide or be mysterious.

Somebody help me understand. I've seen my share of Halloween flicks. The Shape, this muthafukka has been maimed, mutilated, stabbed, shot and shot at. I can't remember why and don't even know if da shyt was ever explicitly said but why does this muthafukka just absolutely refuse to die?! Dawg is probably da most relentless muthafukka ever in horror.

Yea. But he wasnt just roaming out in the open amongst people. This man dint even try to hide or be mysterious.

It was Halloween. He was amongst other masked folks so ain't nobody look at da shyt as bein' suspect is my logic.

Thought it was trash but my wife liked it. Foreign horror flicks up my standards

Yeah and I hate the thorn angle with a passion. And the sister angle too. I like the simplicity of the first one so like you said this is the closest to that
