Halloween Kills (1 Viewer)

[Combat]

This was pretty good absent a couple of idiotic plot points. They brought back several of the original cast members from the 1978 film, threw in the kind gratuitous violence that made these films so popular, a great soundtrack from John Carpenter, killer mask, and no discrimination on the kills (i.e. everyone dies regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation). I give Danny McBride (aka Kenny Powers) some credit for sticking to the formula instead of turning this into some type of message movie. It's killing at the box office even though you can watch it for free on Peacock. Hollywood never learns. Those 80s slasher films like F13 and Halloween were escapes from reality. People loved them. No need to change the winning formula.

What made the original Halloween so good was the lack of gore/violence, it was more of a scary movie than a gorefest.

When Rob Zombie remade Halloween, it became a gory movie vs a scary one.

Glad you enjoyed it.
