But there's so much good here, especially for fans of the series.
I think this is one of the spots the movie really shines in. I personally was stoked to see the scenes featuring Dr. Loomis. It was really like seeing new content from Donald Pleasence. Reading about how they did this was fascinating too. I have a lot of respect for Kills because unlike what a lot of reviews I had read about this film said coming in, this film actually did take chances and do things I hadn't seen the franchise try before. While the scenes with the mob chasing down the wrong person weren't perfect, I appreciate the attempt to speak to the current state of America's cultural climate. It wasn't masterful, but the unexpected nature of it all made me like it anyway. ---
