    Is just another chapter.
    Halloween Kills

    This Halloween Kills is just another chapter of the franchise, the best part of the mediocrity of the film and how little I like it is the flashback to Halloween night in 1978 where Dr Loomis was recreated with the facial appearance of Donald Pleasend Through CGI, they would have been better off making the film entirely recreated at that time.

    The characters are entirely stupid since the previous film, the clear example being the crowd of hysterical idiots with an even more idiotic slogan wanting to lynch a supposedly innocent person, this was unnecessary drama in a slasher film, this was poorly handled by the scriptwriters and the director where It is just a message that says people are so stupid that although the authorities are inept, it is necessary that people are within the system although it does not give them true security and for which they pay with taxes since they would commit atrocities caused by chaos .

    It is necessary for the culmination of this Gordon Green trilogy to improve the script by correcting the errors of the clumsy previous films.

    The motivation for Michael Myers' homicidal actions along with the immortality and super strength that this murderer possesses is not justified, it is only explained that it is through the fear of the victims that fuels him and gives him power, but why? This is what I would like to know. Finally, John Carpenter's soundtrack is the highlight of the film.

    One of the Best Plotless Movies Ever Made
    There are character moments and threads here, but by the time Halloween Kills ends, nothing that you could call a plot has taken place. But honestly, I don't think this reflects poorly on the film. Slasher films kind of defy a lot of traditional structure, and ultimately rely on our fascination with human survival to work in ways other movies simply can not. While I can't speak for everybody, a large portion of us watch slasher films to see facsimiles of ourselves and the people we know attempt to survive deadly situations. I actually don't watch slasher films to see someone mutilated against a wall of Halloween decorations. Which, unfortunately, is Halloween Kills' MO.

    Characters approach survival situations in this film in one of two frustrating ways: acting entirely helpless, or running straight into Michael Myers' arms with a knife to give him. No one acts remotely like they are invested in keeping their heart beating, though, so the essence of a good slasher is lost. I actually ended up liking the movie's dramatic scenes better than its mean spirited yet cheap kill sequences, and I guess I am one of the few that liked Tommy and the mob. But the dramatic scenes don't add up to a plot, everything occurs pretty arbitrarily, and it's all pretty difficult to take seriously.

    I'll give it a pass for being a slasher film with lots of Halloween decorations, but it's not my most critically sound opinion.
