Halloween Kills Review

-


Cast: Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer, Andi Matichak, Anthony Michael Hall. Kyle Richards, James Jude Courtney 

Director: David Gordon Green 


After the events of HALLOWEEN 2018, Laurie, Karen and Allyson have escaped the wrath of Michael Myers with Michael trapped in the burning basement of Laurie's compound.

However, evil never dies as Michael escapes from the burning building and is more pissed then ever as he goes on the most brutal and bloodiest killing spree to date (forget the RZ versions please).

I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of HALLOWEEN KILLS ever since it was first announced for 2020.

And then the unthinkable happened, COVID hit and the movie was pushed to 2021.  I was really worried that the movie was going to be pushed again, but I am so thankful that it didn't occur and HALLOWEEN KILLS has finally been released worldwide.

Now, let me get into my thoughts on what was my most anticipated movie of the year.

Holy shit, HALLOWEEN KILLS was what I was expecting and what I really wanted out of the 2018 movie.

Don't get me wrong, HALLOWEEN 2018 was a fun little ride, but alot of the killings were shown off screen, just the after effects of the deaths.

HALLOWEEN KILLS is not like that as most of the brutal and gory slayings are full on display here and I appreciated that so much.

Michael brought on so much carnage that made me happy, however there was one death that truly made me cringe and that is unusual for me.

To everyone that was excited about the flashback scenes to 1978, let me just say that I was highly impressed. I always wondered what would happen after Loomis shot Michael and he just walked away from it and the police went on the hunt to find him. That was much more cooler then I could've imagined and I loved the images of Loomis for these scenes. The dude they got to play him was so spot on. Plus another guy to do his voice, it was incredible.

The flashback scenes were so good! 

I was so excited as I kept hearing that they were being back Tommy, Lindsey, Marion, Lonnie and Sheriff Brackett to battle Michael. I was truly in Halloween heaven as HALLOWEEN is my favorite franchise 

Just like HALLOWEEN 2018, they brought back an homage to SEASON OF THE WITCH, which is shown more here and I know it will make fans of that film very happy.

I had read the ending of HALLOWEEN KILLS in the leaked script that I have, so I knew ahead of time what was going to happen, so I was prepared for it, although I still didn't want it to happen, but it does get you ready for HALLOWEEN ENDS.

All in all, HALLOWEEN KILLS is a full on brutal and gory film with some great homages and kills.

This is not a Laurie Strode film, this is a true Michael Myers film and I can't wait until the 3rd and final HALLOWEEN film in the David Gordon Green trilogy comes out.

HALLOWEEN KILLS is now playing in theaters and streaming on Peacock. The choice is yours.

X Review

  Cast: Mia Goth, Jenna Ortega, Brittany Snow, Martin Henderson, Kid Cudi, Stephen Ure, Owen Campbell  Director: Ti West  A film crew rents a guest house from an elderly couple to make an adult film.  As the night goes on and tensions rise, they are killed off one by one in really gruesome fashion by someone that is observing what kind of filth they are making. First of all, I have to admit that I am not a fan of the films that A24 comes out with. For the most part, they are completely boring and uninteresting to me.   I am the type of person that can't get into films that are known as "slow burns" because I have a tendency to fall asleep. However, X is a much different kind of horror film. Sure, it's still slow-paced, but the storyline is very interesting that you actually don't even realize how long it's taking for the first murder begins and one that happens, you are in for a wild ride. X is set in the rural backwoods of Texas in the 70's and that made ...

Halloween Kills Trailer Review

 Late last week someone had leaked out the trailer for HALLOWEEN KILLS. I didn't have any idea, so I never watched the poor quality that was floating around. The trailer was due to be dropped this week, so what was the studio going to do about this?  Well, you guessed it, they released the official HALLOWEEN KILLS trailer within hours of the leak and that means Halloween came early for us hardcore fans. We all had to wait a year for this movie to finally come out since theaters were closed due to the COVID restrictions and lockdowns. Now that things are getting back to normal and theaters are opening up again, we are finally back on track with movie releases.  So with that said, will HALLOWEEN KILLS live up to expectations? I watched the trailer and let me just say....YES!  I had heard early on that this new Halloween film will be the most brutal and bloody of all the Halloween films and that is including the Rob Zombie movies and that is saying something there. The ...
