seminoles1 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 In anticipation of Halloween Ends, I watched Halloween (2018) a few days ago. I enjoyed it and thought it was a very solid legacy sequel. Just started Halloween Kills...and boy is this a rough start. Not sure I'll be able to finish this. The firefighters attacking Michael 1-on-1 was just cringey. I thought non-parody movies moved past this like 20 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halloween Kills sucks outside of Michael going HAM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved the 2018 sequel and that non-stop stretch in town was gold (the one take scene that lasted like 10 minutes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first was enjoyable, the second less so, and the last will be totally unwatchable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Failed social commentary on mob mentality. I mean seriously, can no one write a slasher movie that doesn't involve a bunch of absolute morons? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Prince Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 The first IT is probably in my top 5 for horror movies. also agreed what everyone said on Halloween. First one (2018) is a solid flick Kills is just awful, still wondering how Michael was able to get past everyone that was around the house and show up in the room at the end.

I think they legit made him supernatural based on him surviving that nonsense and then Laurie's narration talking about him not being just flesh and blood or whatever. If he's not supernatural then it makes the ending even worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they did make him supernatural they ruined Myers all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad he didn’t have more involvement if they’re that bad. I don’t care to watch them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big_palooka Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 I pretty much go for campy 90's horror for pure nostalgia this time of year. Idle Hands, Scream , I know what you did last summer, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
