Immediate Response: Halloween Kills (2021)

 I use Peacock to watching WWE and Savage Dragon, so I might as well watch this Film at my Computer like a weirdo...

The Good

* The Film is strong on style and atmosphere.

* The Shape is as menacing as ever, killing people without a word- while still showing little touches of character.

* The Film brings in lots of people from the original Film- some as the real Actors, some Recast and one with some post-production trickery.

* The Score is nice.

* The Plot takes some nice turns and takes some big risks.  That said...


The Bad

* The Ending- no SPOILERS- sure is rubbing people the wrong way.  I can see it, even if I'm not too bothered by it.

* The tone sure is bleak.  Yes, even for a Slasher Film.

* Michael McDonald has some bad luck in Films.  He ran afoul of killer Dinosaurs twice (Carnosaur 2 & 3), the Leprechaun (Leprechaun 2) and now Michael Meyers.


The Film sure is divisive.  If you're a fan of the Series, give it a look and see for yourself.
