The idea of the Haddonfield Mob could have been something if that “Evil Dies Tonight” theme hadn’t been so overworked.

It’s not a great thing when your two best performances are from a hospital bed-ridden Jamie Lee Curtis and Will Patton trying to come to terms with their survivor’s guilt. It tries to address these ideas during a speech by survivor Tommy Doyle during a Halloween talent show, but anything meaningful fails to come of it.
Halloween kills 3d movie#
How do people cope and heal or do they fall and become a new worse version of their better selves? Pretty weighty stuff to consider but this movie doesn’t really want to explore that too much. Truthfully the idea of how a horrible event affects an entire town is a theme well worth exploring.

Going into Halloween Kills, expectations were understandably high for where the franchise would go next. Taking the bold step of slicing out nearly 40 years of sequel/remake history, the 2018 film was a fresh and bloody restart. Leave it to comedy writers and director David Gordon Green and Danny McBride to conjure up a reason for the series to return. After two less-than-amazing remake entries, The Shape looked like he was on the verge of just rolling through the churn and burn remake/sequel cycle. Now survivors of his original night of terror Tommy Doyle (Anthony Michael Hall), Lindsey Wallace (Kyle Richards), and Michael’s former nurse Marion Chambers (Nancy Stephens) are determined to see evil die tonight and turn the peaceful people of Haddonfield into a bloodthirsty mob.Ģ018’s Halloween was a wild prospect I never thought we’d ever see.

A little charred, a little crispy - Michael emerges from the fire with a renewed vigor for murder mayhem and madness. Her home used as a trap and set ablaze, Michael would die and her daughter Karen (Judy Greer) and granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) would survive. And after his insane doctor let him loose to see what he would do, Laurie got her chance to end Michael Myers once and for all. Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) waited 40 years for the night that Michael would return.
