Halloween Kills - 2021

In 2018 Halloween the original movie from 1978 got a sequel, simply titled Halloween. I saw it in theaters twice and I fuckin loved it. It erased all the stupid sequels and the thorn cult and everything else that had soiled the name and it got back to Michael and Laurie. The sequels were announced after the success of Halloween, we soon after knew we were going to get Halloween Kills and the next one, Halloween Ends. Covid delayed Halloween Kills, but now it came out in 2021.

Jamie Lee Curtis returns... should I start with that? I bet her total screen time is less than ten minutes. Okay, well she is back and she is in this sequel. As is Anthony Michael Hall as Tommy from the first film. Michael Myers is out and we pick up right after the sequences in Halloween, the 2018 film.

What is the plot here, I don't really know. I just saw the movie this night. Basically, Myers is back and killing people here and there. There's definitely an up in body count, there's an up in gore, and there's an up in screen presence, and those are all the signs of a usual bad sequel right? In fact, this in many ways felt like the usual bad sequel directed by someone else, written by someone else, made by someone else. Was this made by someone else? It would seem so.

Tension is gone, character is gone, drama is gone, horror is gone. Is this even a horror movie? It's a movie, that's for sure. Maybe IMDB should list this as drama first, then horror. Who knows huh? Anthony Michael Hall leads a cult like group who despite not knowing who Myers is decides to revolt against him. Strode's daughter is there, doing things. Other people die, including a faggot couple who are horribly written. This movie fucking sucked.
