Halloween prend fin

I don't know what this movie was but I am still waiting on the real final movie in the trilogy to be released. This was just a bad joke right? I kept watching hoping that it would get better and it just didn't I had heard the final act was good and I was lied to. Then I am not sure what message they were trying to send with their wacky symbolism they do but it went over my head. When it was over me and the girlfriend just felt crushed that it was such a bad movie. 2018 was great and kills was ok but this makes me angry and sad at how disappointing it was.

This wasn't a Halloween movie. It takes place on halloween and Michael and Laurie cameo in it but that's it. Every time I look at the rating I am giving it I lower the score because I feel I am being too generous.

No spoilers here. But, as tradition, the third installment goes off on a tangent. It opens with undoubtably the best pumpkin title sequence, and a thudding mix of Carpenter's theme.

The attraction of the final three movies to me is Jamie Lee Curtis. And although I feel she's stretching it a little to claim in interviews this film is all about relatable trauma (it's still a modern horror with modern annoyances), there are elements of this and the roundup is somewhat satisfying. Not because it is classical Halloween as hoped, but because as producer and overseer she may have delivered the ultimate f-you to the anti-hero worshiping fanboys of this franchise. In a fashion: trauma dealt with.

Of the 1978 original, Richard Combs said it was "one of the cinema's most perfectly engineered devices for saying 'Boo!'". That's spot on, and nothing beyond the original really matches. The moment Myers steps beyong those first 91 minutes, with any attempted explaination, motivation or widening, the illusion evaporates. Today the suspense and atmosphere is replaced with an apparent need for seeing people stabbed many, many, many times. Weirdly this might be more to meet the limited appetites of an attention deprived modern audience, rather than anything to do with the original.

There was no blood shown in 1978, and the ghost story worked well in the first telling.

Without spoilers, this movie is one of the most mis-marketed movies I've ever seen. If you watch the trailers, thinking you know what movie you're about to see, think again. Also, I thought this movie brought nothing new to the table as far as Halloween lore, and insightful explanations of pretty much any questions we may have had going in, and ultimately felt like a giant let down. Positives? Jamie Lee Curtis did a great job, I enjoyed the score, certain elements of the ending which I obviously can't get into here, and a few moments of good humor. Not the worst Halloween movie..

5/10 for me.

Another failed sequel of a classic horror flick. There was no Micheal Myers anywhere for most of the movie! That shouldn't be the final movie of a legendary horror movie character. We focused way too much on side characters, wasting so much time of the movie and taking away screen time from Michael for no reason. Laurie was once again the best in the movie. The actress played her role really well and I enjoyed seeing her probably for the last time. Her granddaughter as a character was annoying, like those straight to VHS Disney movies where the kid wod turn against their parents for stupid reasons, that was her in the entire movie... It was disappointing but I'm glad I watched it because it ends a huge franchise I've been watching since middle school. It was a pop corn movie and nothing more, but still an okay pop corn movie.

Yeah this movie proves why this should NEVER have been a trilogy in the first place... Kills was a letdown and this was the final nail in the coffin!

This movie introduces an entirely new storyline and character, which is not the way you close off a trilogy! The concept around this is interesting enough, but as a conclusion to a long running franchise, it could not have been more bafflingly misplaced!

Micheal Myers is reduced to a cameo and the final confrontation comes out of nowhere, with NO build up or satisfaction! The confrontation in 2018 was better than this! It is clear that there were not material enough for a trilogy so why? Oh Yeah.... money.
