Yeah, it's just mob mentality which is pretty poetic lmao. It's good.
People will come around eventually when the hate isn't in vogue.
Nah. A mediocre movie will always be a mediocre movie.

Except in the first Halloween, that made sense because no one knew he was an unstoppable killing machine. In Halloween Kills, they knew exactly who they were dealing with and still acted like complete dumbasses.
No, it's a bad film. I loved 2018, I think it's a great movie, and my second favourite Halloween, and a perfect sequel to the first film. I watched it just prior to Kills for the third time.Yeah, it's just mob mentality which is pretty poetic lmao. It's good.

The whole town knows. Not to mention half the township turns out to have a past encounter with Michael. That's why they form the mob.Nobody besides the Strodes and the returning characters knows this.
They don't though. The only people from the original who knows what he's capable of are Laurie, Hawkins, and Loomis. Everyone else has to go by stories told by those three or someone else. Then Allison and Karen get brought into things but that's it. Nobody else has survived to really know what to expect.The whole town knows.

Agreed. People do dumb things in horror movies, but in this one it's just one after the other after the other after the other.I actually really liked this one but it has the problem of every single character constantly making stunningly stupid decisions literally all the time. I'm not usually bothered by this sort of thing but it felt super egregious here.
To the last point, for real. The way people trash this makes me think they've never seen a truly bad horror/slasher film, and there's plenty of examples of them right within this exact franchise. And I can love me a legitimately terrible slasher; I enjoy basically all of the Friday the 13th films and I'd never call any of them really truly good.Watched Kills probably 20+ times now and it has a firm seat as the 3rd best Halloween movie behind the original and 2018.
For what it was supposed to be, Michael Myers on a visceral killing spree it succeeded in spades. I think people expected basically a continuation of 2018 from tone and pace when it was supposed to all along be Michael as an unstoppable killing machine.
BTW, the sequence of the car lights coming on, mobs comes out and surrounds him. Then the music kicks in and he picks up his mask and puts it on…..Probably the best sequence in any Halloween movie.
Also anyone trying to say H4 or H20 is better than Kills is fooling themselves.
The extended cut is basically the same. There's one extra scene.Time to finally watch the Extended cut. It's pretty neat they were able to throw that up on HBO Max because I was kind of mild on the theatrical cut and was curious about watching the extended, which I hear was an improvement.

Totally. But for someone who has seen the original cut already, like the poster I quoted, there isn't a whole lot there to make it worth a rewatch imo.
Absolutely hated this movie. Left the theater thinking it was shit, watched it 2 days later on Peacock thinking it was even more shit. It completely nuked the goodwill blumhouse created with Halloween 2018, and gives me serious doubts on how they are going to close this trilogy with Halloween Ends in October
I watched it earlier today, what a shitshow. There are some ideas that could've worked, but the execution is beyond terrible.
By the end, I just wanted Michael to straight up destroy everyone who showed up to murder him. I don't feel like there are any likeable characters to root for by the end and i just wanted to see Michael mop the floor with the entire town.
I'd love to know where you place it among other Halloween movies
It's interesting the vitriol this one gets when objectively you can't put more than maybe 4 movies in the franchise above it. I dunno, maybe it's like reverse recency bias or something.
Tbh? H1978-H1981-H3-H2018……… HKills. Big fan of the franchise, but I have no issue saying that many of the movies are… kind of crap. Even some of the more popular entries H4/H20, I just don't get the love they get ESPECIALLY H20I'd love to know where you place it among other Halloween movies

10000000%. Resurrection has the so bad it's entertaining factor. H20…. they even rip music straight from Scream 🤣🤣🤣. It's all a matter of personal opinion of course, but the only two things I can think of for H20's love is 1. Nostalgia and 2. I think people were happy to move on from the convoluted thorn cult.H20 did not age well at all, I'd rather watch Resurrection. Busta Rhymes acted his ass off, you can't fault him for everything else. H20 was purely a Scream knockoff and I'd drives me bonkers that people think it's good today.

What are the rumors?I didn't like it at all coming out of the theater but after watching it a few times…..I don't know, it's grown on me lol.
The flashback stuff is sooooo well done and I love how they kind of play with the lore of the original.
Does it have its faults? Sure…but I softened a lot on what I didn't like before.
I'm extremely excited for Ends so damn curious about it…esp. with the rumors surrounding aspects of it.
Why are there so many of these movies? They always feel the same. I watched 25 minutes of this and then stopped.
The beginning was in some ways shockingly good.The more times I watch this movie the more I wish it was entirely like the intro flashback 1970s scenes. I just felt like that part was so much more well done than what we got for the rest of the film.

I didn't actually hate the rest of the film, but was definitely disappointed that it couldn't live up to the high bar set early on.
That's exactly how I felt. I wouldn't have minded if the film had been entirely flashbacks and been a pseudo Halloween 2 (1980) reimagining/reboot. Then they wouldn't need to do such a huge time jump for Halloween Ends.
Yes, I agree the flashback sequences were incredible and felt more coherent than the entire movie did.I'd have loved this to be honest. Before Kills came out the leaks suggested that it was going to open with the aftermath of 1978 and I wasn't the biggest fan of that idea.
In the end, I thought what they pulled off was really cool and genuinely would have liked more.
