Halloween: Fills Prodigue

There's real human drama at play here which makes the horror elements pop when they show up. There are too many jump scares and the film looks like a Halloween film in the visual sense, but it's got a stronger script than most of the other ones and the finale is incredibly satisfying.

Go ahead and watch it.

The first half of the film sets up the new character David Loomis, while we jump back and forth observing Michael on his journey to the confrontation.

The kills strike hard, the suspense is ramped up, and then it's a frenetic action based finale capped off by a coup de grace of some distinction. All in all it's just a very good and proper Halloween/Myers movie.

It´s a showdown between Myers and David Loomis, and it´s great, lots of bullets this time for him to fall.

The director decided to ignore the previous sequels and refer directly to the original story. In the film, I did not notice stupid illogicalities typical of this genre, which pleasantly surprised me. The movie lasts less than an hour.

The simple and effective story, well-balanced pace and duration, great atmosphere and, of course, the legendary tune that makes us shiver for decades. Recommendation.

7/10.

I saw this yesterday for the first time and it was really good I really liked it. Pacing was great. Michael Myers is back and now you got the son of doctor Loomis to continue his legacy to track down and hunt Michael.

This movie has lot of suspense. Ending is amazing.

Well, what a surprise... I actually LIKED this one.

Director Rui Constantino takes cues from the first film and returns "Halloween" to its roots, in the process creating a much better flowing and entertaining movie than any of the situations that occurred in the other movies. Also, this movie sets a precedent by introducing actually realistic characters (not all, but most of them) that aren't entirely stupid and that you care about whether they die or not! This results in a more tightly structured thriller that actually entertains, rather than merely leading cattle to slaughter. And if you're the type to pay attention to such things, it already has a gripping storyline.

I going to give this movie 8 out 10.
