Halloween Kills Film Review

 



Horror fans we are just a  few short days from the final film in yet another Halloween timeline and wow did this one sneak up on me. Even tho I knew what day and date Halloween Ends was coming out I still thought that I had more time in order to produce the tie in review but nevertheless i'm here now with the tie in review and so then join me as I review the film that brought back a ton of legacy characters with the film in question being called simply just "Halloween Kills" enjoy.

The plot of this film is after seemingly killing of Michael Myers for good Laurie and surviving family find out that he's still alive and so then the whole town of Haddonfield goes to hunt him down before he gets to Laurie. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad but the issue is that this films plot feels like the stereotypical plot of the middle film in a franchise and nothing more then that in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode , Judy Greer as Karen Nelson and Andi Matichak as Allyson Nelson. Also starring in this film is Will Patton as Deputy Frank Hawkins , Jacob Keohane as Deputy Tobias , Anthony Michael Hall as Tommy Doyle , The Haunting Of Hill House star Robert Longstreet as Lonnie Elam , Dylan Arnold as Cameron Elam , Charles Cyphers as Leigh Brackett , Kyle Richards as Lindsey Wallace , Nancy Stephens as Marion Chambers , James Jude Courtney as Michael Myers / The Shape and director and screenwriter Nick Castle as The Voice Of Michael Myers / The Shape.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. Which given who is starring in this film isn't all that surprising and the film really does deserve all of the credit that it gets for the acting in this film as the acting that we get in this film is really that good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


For some strange reason this film likes to pad out it's running time by including alot and I do mean alot of flashbacks. This wouldn't be an issue if the flashbacks added something new to the story but they really don't all they do is just tell us things that we already knew happened and so they come across as being pointless they might add things to the story of Halloween Ends but interms if this film they really do just across as padding and nothing more then that in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Despite being a main character Laurie Strode really doesn't have that big of a role in this film and well I kind of have a theory as to why. Since if you look at both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame the characters that got alot of screen time in Avengers: Infinity War didn't get that much screen time when it came to Avengers: Endgame well I think that this will be the case when it comes to this film so basically expect Laurie to get alot more focus in Halloween Ends and expect Allyson to get alot less screen time in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

That being said however I do think that Laurie should have gotten alot more screen time in this film since she is the arch rival of Michael Myers. This would also make sense for this current version of the character since this version of the character has been all about getting revenge on Michael Myers and wanting to see him dead and so then having her be sidelined for the entire movie while the town goes out to kill Michael Myers just doesn't make sense at all for either the character or the plot of this movie in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


To me this film really doesn't take full advantage of the whole town basically becoming one big mob since you only see them together in a few big scenes. To me it would be alot more impactful if we saw burning down the Myers house as a way to lure Michael out of the house only for him not to be there and to show them killing of a few more innocent people since showing them kill of an innocent mental patient was a good idea in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and forty five minuets and twelve seconds. Which while this film has more then enough there interms of either plot or story it pads out it's running time with pointless flashbacks which as stated before in this very review add nothing to this very film and heck I think that this film would have flowed alot better if all except the opening flashback scene was removed from this film because that's how pointless they are and that's how much that really do they pad out this films running time in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then since this is a slasher that means that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good and was rather rightfully the best part of the film. Since we got to see Michael Myers kill people in some really and in some rather brutal ways in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this film felt more like a feature length trailer to Halloween Ends since it's more bothered with setting up things for that movie then it is in being an actually good and entertaining movie in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page , the official Halloween fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because of the fact Google Images actually has alot of images from this film up on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all fairly high quality and as well as being as fairly high definition and so then horror fans we ends this review as we always freaking do with our one and true freaking goddess Elvira wishing us all some very freaking unpleasant dreams indeed.
