“Halloween Kills” is a rated R, classic halloween thriller/horror flick. It is part of the 12-movie series that started in 1978, and is still going on 43 years later. “Halloween Kills” made over $50.4M. Although, so far all of the “Halloween” movies were very entertaining, “Halloween Kills” was a degrade from the story line, because it was basically ignoring the entire series backstory by bringing in people who weren’t even important to the situation and who came out of nowhere.
The movie was based on how Michael Myers, also known as “ The Shape” or “The Boogey-Man,” was supposedly burned in a house whose former owner was his sister, Laurie Strode. However, firefighters came about roughly 10 minutes later to put out the fire, and when the firefighters arrived he was somehow still alive and able to take out a whole team.
Into the filming, they did very great recording choices, like in a firefighter scene. They put the camera as one of the fire-fighters’ perspectives which was truly different from the first “Halloween” movies.
“Halloween Kills” is in the horror/thriller genre, but did not really live up to it. Most scenes were ridiculous and so illogical that it was humorous. There were parts that weren’t possible. For instance, when you are about to shoot a gun but a door hits your hand, you physically wouldn’t be able to pull the trigger, even if you did, your hand would’ twist back at you and you still be able to use that hand to shoot
The protagonist Laurie Strode, played by Jamie Lee Curtis, is always part of the main plot and intense scenes. In “Halloween Kills”, she is stuck in a place and rarely got screen time, instead, they put the new people that we don’t really know as the main characters and it threw off the flow of her being this survivor who can fight off Michael Myers. Instead, they took away her screen time and really made the movie bad. When someone has been the star of the movie for that long, you do not just keep them in one place away from the screen. That was a huge mistake on their part and they need to pick it up in their next movie.
Another thing they did that was illogical, was when he had an entire town against him and he still didn’t die. He was shot, beaten with a bat, stabbed, etc. and yet he still lives. Over the years they lost their touch with the possibles and the impossibles in their story lines. So,so far “Halloween Kills” was a degrade from the story line, because it basically ignored the entire backstory by bringing in people who weren’t even important to the situation and who came out of nowhere, as well as cutting the main characters screen time short. Overall, “Halloween Kills,” was a downgrade and totally messed up the entire storyline of the 43 year streak of great Michael Myers movies
