50. Halloween Kills (Peacock)

Hey, it's the sequel to the much lauded Halloween 2018! I really enjoyed this one.

Halloween Kills picks up after Halloween the sequel to Halloween, and Michael Myers survives and the entire town is ready to take up arms and kill him now.

This is far from a perfect movie. It has a lot of issues. But damnit all if I don't love it still. I guess I'll start with those issues. The first of which being... there's that whole side plot with the second escaped prisoner which kind of sucks and is pointless. I know what they wanted to say with it, but it feels kind of sloppy. I guess it helps with Karen's development too, but there should be other ways. I also feel like there's some other pointless scenes as well that didn't light my world on fire. Additionally, stupid characters. But that's kind of the point I guess. There's also some dialogue in here I want to be like "Mmmmmmyou can have better lines that that."

Hey, bad out of the way. Let's talk about the good. Michael Myers is a fucking badass. Legitimately this may be him at his absolute best, through every Halloween movie. He's so deadly, terrifying, and such a looming presence of death and doom and I love it. Plus, the climax of the movie? EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS AMAZING! I lost my mind when Michael Myers just got right the fuck back up after everyone thought he was dead. And then just MURDERS EVERYONE. Incredible moment. 10/10 I knew it was coming and I still loved it.

The characters from the movies were all great too. Picking up from the first movie, giving us characters from the previous movies, giving us more with Laurie. There's a lot of development here and it's nice to see how Michael Myers touched these people's lives and it continues to haunt them. Just seeing the rest of the town makes it seem more alive. I just love the flow of time here and how everything changes, and even all the development through the movie really makes it feel awesome! It sets up a lot for the sequel, and I can't wait to see how this ends.

Great follow up, with some issues. But there's so much good here, especially for fans of the series. I may rate it higher than most, but I just thought this movie was great.

Rating: 8.5/10
