Description
Four years after the events of Halloween in 2018, Laurie has decided to liberate herself from fear and rage and embrace life. But when a young man is accused of killing a boy he was babysitting, it ignites a cascade of violence and terror that will force Laurie to finally confront the evil she can’t control, once and for all.
For what? Where to? What for? - let it all be one big question.
It would be better to send him into space than this feint with the under-transmigration of souls, as it was on the 9th "Friday, 13". So I hated this part because they replace concepts and rules, introducing complete nonsense. And then... In the same place... for an hour and forty, they show Myers a couple of times for a couple of seconds. It's like it's a separate fanfiction in the universe with a separate psychopath. And it would be fine to do something like a copycat, as in the Scream. So no. They introduced some kind of scanning all-seeing eye. Pancake. Clouded the mind or... I do not even know what it was at all. Well, why?!
As a result, we're watching something like a documentary about Laurie Strode and how she bakes pies. And at the end, a couple of minutes of carnage. There is a lot of blood and very little meaning.
Eh... and I had such high expectations. Thank God it's all over.
Or not?
In 2 hours of the film, Maers has no more than 5 minutes of time ...
They introduced this sucker copycat ...
Almost zero actions
The plot is sucked out of the finger ...
Against this background, even the second part from rob zombie is no longer fecal
Restart-the continuation was ok, the second part is no longer och, but also ok, but this third one is complete
best part is still the first - 1978
despite the fact that there was no direct wow, it's still better at least for its cult status
right there, the whole movie tells us the story of a guy who was taken in by a maniac, and Myers cosplayed Penwise, but he didn't do it well either. He was sitting somewhere in the sewers and crushing people, not even scaring them.
in general, until now it seemed to me that there was no mysticism in this series of films, but the transmission of evil through the eyes from Michael Corry is not exactly what can happen in real life
(I only watched the 1978 film and the new trilogy, if anything. I don't know how things were in the rest of the films)
All I liked was the end. it was powerful of course. The townspeople, the crusher
"evil is immortal - it only changes shape"
it was possible, in principle, not to watch the film. include the ending and that's enough
in the last shots, I was afraid that now there would be some hint again that he had survived. even after grinding
Although which of us is sinless
After a good attempt in 2018 to once again complete the line of confrontation between Myers and Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), which began back in 1978, Green and McBride of some kind stretched the restart for a whole trilogy. And we know how it usually ends well, right? If not in terms of the finances received, then at least creatively. And already "Halloween kills ", the second part of the trilogy, which, in theory, should have been better in every sense than its predecessor, turned out to be the bottom of the bottom. In my opinion, as a result, I did not leave a short opinion on him in any of the social networks. Well, he didn't even publish anything in stories. Therefore, I had no illusions about Halloween ending. And you know what?
Yes, it's such a great movie, but it's not being scolded at all for the reasons I imagined. The story is literally repeated with the original third part of the franchise, with the Season of Witches. Then, in general, a good horror movie with a memorable ending (I watched this part once, but still impressed by the finale) was pelted with tomatoes, because Michael Myers was not in it. And why wasn't he there? Because in the second part, the maniac was nailed (he was still a more or less realistic killer, not the embodiment of evil), and the producers wanted money and decided that they could make a themed franchise out of Halloween - on a regular basis to tell full-length horror stories that take place on the eve of everyone's day saints. A great idea? In my opinion, it is magnificent. Only it didn't take off. Because give the fans their favorite, Myers. And what do we have in the end? A dozen senseless and merciless sequels with a couple of restarts (soft and not so much), which either ignores all events, then only after certain parts. Of course, Michael Myers will be back in a couple of years. And on big screens, and most likely on TV / streaming services, too. The franchise hasn't died, but I wouldn't say it feels great either.
In short, why am I doing this? The authors of the new trilogy did not go to the end, they obviously got scared, or they were crushed by the producers, who certainly know better than me what it's like to make a film without Michael Myers in the Michael Myers franchise. If they had developed a topic that they had clearly laid down, they could have left by slamming the door loudly. They had nothing to lose after the second part, the fan community would have poured another tub of slop on them anyway, but they could have done everything beautifully. In the finale, "Halloween kills" maniacello is right badly, badly beaten, but he goes off into the sunset as if with the last of his strength (having filled up all his abusers along the way, yes). It says in plain text once again that Michael Myers is not just a lucky patient and long-living killer, but something above that. Or lower. If we're talking about hell. What do we see in the trailers for the finale? Michael Myers goes out (not again, but again) on the hunt for poor pensioner Laurie Strode. Well, purely old robbers. A game of hide-and-seek for those who are over... What is the film really about? Three quarters of the timekeeping is dedicated to the boy Corey (Rohan Campbell), who has a frankly unsuccessful experience of looking after other people's children. After the accident, the residents of Haddonfield appoint Corey as a new scarecrow to replace the missing Myers.
And so it was honestly interesting for me to watch Corey, for those circumstances that would surely lead the guy to a breakdown. In addition, Corey finds Michael Myers' hideout, but he manages to get away with it. For how long? I repeat: personally, I was fascinated by this story. What didn't the authors finish? They left Myers alive. Corey had to find the remains of Myers or Myers on the verge of death, then take his mask, a knife, and also accept this sinister mask, becoming the successor to the noble deed of intimidating Haddonfield residents (Haddonfield residents?). It was possible to pass the baton even without mysticism. Well, like in the story with the Screams, where anyone could hide under a mask, maintaining the cult status of a Ghostly Face. In a way that would have producers on hand even with the departure of the current creative team: 1) the legend of Myers persists; 2) the franchise can be continued as much as you like, even with mysticism, even without - any road is open; 3) the development of mythology (while preserving all this hat about druids, if you really want to); 4) absolutely anyone can be under the mask (Campbell, by the way, played well. It could have been saved for a potential sequel).
This would all look more logical, and not what we were shown in the film, which is glued together from two unequal and poorly working stories with each other. Well, we kind of want to eat a fish here, and finish the story of Jamie Lee Curtis, who, obviously, will not be able to return to a new restart. I.e. without this whole topic with the passing of the baton, it's not clear why Cory is needed at all? The topic of mentoring is not disclosed here, the topic of cooperation is even more so. What was that? What for?
There was a good thriller somewhere here, if the authors hadn't been afraid to anger the fan base. Who knows, maybe even the beaten ones would like such courage?
