Test screenings went very well apparently.

Ultra violent is a key word.

I can't do Halloween movies. They freak me out. My friend had a Halloween mask and he'd show up in the window every once and awhile. It's not a good feeling.

That looks horrible. Do we really think a 62 year old woman is going to kill Michael Myers for good? He took out like 5 firefighters in peak physical condition in about 30 seconds.

Are you familiar with the character Michael Myers?

My problem with the 3rd “Halloween” (not to be confused with “Halloween III” which I love) is that it didn’t have any real special qualities to it to separate it from a typical slasher sequel. There were a few humorous moments but we’re in a smarter era of horror where this type of brainless fodder doesn’t cut it. The kills weren’t even all that creative or interesting.

I didn't realize how many Halloween movies there are. They seem to keep starting over or ignoring what happened in some of the movies, no?

Was Halloween III the one with the killer silver shamrock masks?

Yes. Tom Atkins was at the top of his game and it was B movie greatness. And that goddamn song gets stuck in your head. Plus a blazin soundtrack from Carpenter.

The first two still do an incredible job of jump scaring me. Three is sufficiently different to me (In my memory) that it doesn't even feel like a sequel (Reading the wikipedia page I see why) but I remember enjoying it. The damn carpenter soundtracks just work though.

I do like what I saw from the trailer. Quality kills, crazy gore…it could end up working better.

Dude, it's a (fictional) movie.

One review said it’s the most brutal movie ever made.

Looking forward to watching it.

this is available for streaming on peacock. so i watched it this morning. i couldn't wait.

yes, it is bloody. it is gory. but it's nothing i haven't seen before. in fact, the gory fun unfortunately gets mixed up in some heavy-handed social commentary that comes bludgeoning through the second act that literally grinds the film to a halt. it's fine if you want to make "halloween" into some allegory for hatred, anger and violence. but you can't have that mixed with trying to find amusing and ridiculous new ways for michael meyers to kill people. that's what muddles the film, which half-wants to be a joyful blood bath. but the other half wants to be taken seriously, and that just doesn't work.

there are some things i really liked: the real-time feel of the movie reminded me of (the original) "Halloween II" (seriously, this series is going to be so confusing to future generations). the expansion of including original characters (and in some cases, original actors) from the first movie. that had a "gangs all here" feeling that made me think this was going to be a lot of fun.

but once it starts in with the "who are the real monsters?" rhetoric, it took me out. jamie lee curtis is mostly confined to a bed throughout the film (again, another call back to "Halloween II"), so her performance is mostly wincing and repeating stuff about evil that we've heard for over 40 years.

and that's the other problem, which is going to carry on into this supposed "finale" in "halloween ends": haven't we seen enough of laurie vs. michael? how many times do we need a showdown? especially when you've now established that michael's power is divined from anger and hatred and humans and all that...it's quite a conundrum. and i don't trust this writing team nor director to pull that off.

so, i don't care how bloody or gory you want to make the next one...just make it fun. that's what you want out of a slasher film. nobody's wondering what higher learning you can get out of "friday the 13th". ditto "halloween".

out of

Halloween 4 is absolutely underrated


I guess in this series we forget about part 2 and it takes place after 1?

This one is terrible. It's not even fun bad. Stabs a women with a light bulb that's stronger than a knife, and it's all downhill from there.

It was filmed in Pasadena. They had to pick up all the brown leaves when they were done shooting.
