All he ever wants from those old person safety videos is one old person going through a windshield or have some other brutal accident. Halloween Kills delivers.
If the most traumatic event that happened in this town was a double homicide with a knife 40 years ago, then this place must be pretty peaceful actually.

damn, you really made me go all the way back to chek it, and then into random episodes to check the knife's continuity. Well, just another subtle funny thing that happens in the background while they make fart jokes for the camera. You keep hitting those homeruns RLM

Nothing made my skin crawl more than Jamie Lee Curtis bringing BLM into it. Unless you *really* have a point bringing serious issues like that into a shitty horror movie's promotion, you're going to lose on all fronts.
I love the fact that Mike perfectly remembers the words in the background that mean nothing. Yet adamantly refuses to recognize the written words that are at the center of the screen and in perfect focus.
Halloween 2 was one of the few good sequels. Despite it being flawed, I still find that movie pretty scary. I just found this movie stupid and felt like it was trying way too hard to be something it's not. At least the other Halloween sequels knew they were cheesey.
Not sure what you could possibly mean. Last I checked Jay lost a Trivia Challenge TWICE and lost money for very important charities. *Clearly* we know where the knowledge is at.
They also made Kyle Richards get bangs again because Lindsay Wallace has bangs in the original. There's a season of Housewives where Richards is complaining about the bangs constantly bc she thinks they look bad but she had to get them for the film lol. As if any viewers were gonna be taken out of the experience by a conspicuously botox frozen woman in suburban Illinois having the wrong hair.
Haha. True. Same with making Jamie Leigh Curtis wear a long hair wig to match her hairstyle from 1978. God forbid a character changes their hairstyle in 40 years.
Jay remembers every single detail from this movie and every Halloween movie prior like a Rain Man..and yet Mike is ready to die for his belief about what the fucking bat said.
The mob mistaking a short, waddling fat man (who looked like Danny Devito as the Penguin) for Michael Myers was the funniest sh*t ever. I can't believe the filmmakers actually wanted us to take this movie seriously.
Also the ridiculous gore when he splatters on the ground felt like something straight out of a cheesy B movie and killed any sense of seriousness in the scene
@@charlottecorday8494 pretty sure your movie would be quite anti social justice if the only commentary you can offer on BLM is "mob bad". Also B Movie Slasher Film series
The idea of focusing on the trauma people go thru at the hands of Michael is great. It doesn’t hit the same when they try to apply it to literally the whole town.
That was literally the most compelling thing about Halloween 2018, that Laurie remarks to the (eventually crazy) doctor that 'he's the new Loomis', when in actuality *she* is. She has an understanding of Michael and a preparedness that equals Loomis' in the original and that for years Michael has been singularly focused on Halloween night. They both sound crazy because of their dealing with Michael, but they know what he's capable of and are eventually vindicated. With this? The traumatised mob are just a bunch of idiots who manage to pursue a mentally ill man to his death. It's like the bunch in Halloween 4 who immediately take up guns and manage to kill an innocent guy before getting picked off one by one.
Haddonfield must have the lowest violent-crime rate in human history. There's never been a single murder or shooting in (Or near) that town in the decades since the events of the first Halloween.
Was this a reference to the Black Christmas movie they watched? Where the guy accused his lady of causing the car to break down because she got homemade oil from an Arab dude.
In the original movie there is a scene where a little boy is dressed up as a clown or some shit and kills his baysitter I think. They shoulda brought him back.
Can't believe Mike "Old Hickory" Stoklasa pitched two scoreless innings for the Milwaukee Brewers last night before passing out drunk in his next at-bat.
Michael Myers should be 65 now and getting his senior discounts. The fact that he's still an unstoppable killing machine is impressive, he should have a side business making workout videos.
@@demilung oh no, now I have so many more questions. Does he go back to an institution in the off-season? Weren't these all closed since the 70s? Besides eating right and exercising, what does he do with all that non-Halloween killing time? Sketch out new murder plans in his notebooks? Attend the annual slasher conference with Jason and Freddie to go over the past year's performance? Maybe Mike is right and he just catches a bus to Las Vegas.
@@johnbrown1860 Well, in this continuity he sat there doing nothing for 40 years, but from the public opinion of him I guess it's common knowledge that he's hopping timelines to get some work out and kill people. I guess he also moonlights as Jason.
Hey what if we used the big ass hose that fires a stream of water between 150-300 psi.. you know.. just to keep his ass on the ground until we can get away since he just walked out of a burning building with one of our guys haligans and speared another?
Ending the Halloween franchise once and for all by having everyone in town go "you know what I'm tired of this shit" and surrounding Michael Meyers and comically beating him to death with blunt objects for 40 minutes is the only salvageable idea the series has had in like 3 decades
Only for Michael Myers to return to Haddonfield, driving his Station Wagon past the rampaging mob, looking at them through the car window, head slightly tilted, beating on poor old Mr Michael Meyers from Haddonfield Accounting.
I think I’m excited for Ghostbusters Afterlife to come out, just for RLM’s reaction alone. I remember the first trailer looked kinda neat, now in the new ones it’s kinda showing its true colors. Like, “We’re gonna finish what my Grandfather started.” You mean, what he started when he opened up a small business and became an exterminator??
@@uosdwiSrdewoH They made a movie centered on the *one* Ghostbuster who isn't there to actually play his part. Also, the one actor who wasn't alive to say "Oh my God this is stupid stop."
honestly the scene in my head of a casino goer who sees michael myers kill someone but doesnt immediately run as mike kills someone because their last pull of the slot machine just hit one, then a second 'lucky 7' before a jackpot is great.
@@planbrent cant say I agree as the original, halloween 2 and 2018 already beats it out hell I think even h20 has more of a leg up on kills solely based on the final encounter in that movie. Also mike acts like jason in some parts in kills.
Honestly it was better then any of the prior sequels (Aside from 2018), while it certainly had a ton of problems at least it didn't have the familial link between Laurie and Michael or Busta Rhymes vs Michael. I also count it as better then 4,5 & 6 because I can't take those films seriously after the ending of Halloween 2.
At least that was hilariously bad. This tries to act above the Halloween movies where it's just a big F*** you to the Halloween series and tries to overthink itself. It's like they were trying to make it their Aliens but ended up being a Alien³. And the fact it was professionally made is worse IMO. To see the potential wated by talented people.
There needs to be a new term in cinema: "REQUEL" -- a sequel which is also a reboot, in that it ignores all the sequels and is a new, replacement sequel to only the original. Godzilla did this a lot, as did Halloween 2018, and the recent Leprechaun movie.
@@ruthie8785 The Heisei era of Godzilla films began with a reboot in 1985 that ignored all previous Godzilla entries aside from the original '54 film. That continuity lasted until 1994. The subsequent Millennium era of films (1999-2004) went on to ignore everything - including all of those Heisei era films - except the original too, only they went even further and had every subsequent Millennium era release ignore each other. Meaning it was basically a chain of soft reboots one after the next, culminating in Final Wars in 2004. Shin Godzilla was the first Toho film to do a clean break and offer a total continuity reboot. Hope this helps.
That scene where Michael was in that car and kicked the door open, which caused that woman to somehow shoot herself in the face, was the funniest fucking thing I've ever seen in what's supposed to be a serious horror movie... The entire film felt like it was a parody, akin to the Scary Movie franchise...
Eh, that was supposed to funny. It’s dramatic irony. She makes a big fuss that her guy doesn’t know how to use the gun and that she should have it. Meanwhile the guy is in perfect position to get a shot on him and only has his stethoscope. The girl fires aimlessly at the car, hitting headlights and nothing else. Then Michael opens the door and she blows her own brains out. You think David Gordon Green, a pretty masterful comedic director, didn’t mean for that to be hilarious? That said, the movie is still really stupid and bad.
There's something so completely gratifying about watching Jamie Curtis shill this thing as a masterpiece and then everyone realizing it's literally the worst in the whole series
Slow your roll there, Resurrection still exists and will be unbeaten as the worst Halloween movie until they find a way to physically slap me through the screen.
@@DerMoerpler Say what you will but we did get Busta Rhymes electrocute Michael's nuts. I'm not saying that it's good or bad but it has a merit. (If that's possible)
@@thatoneantoid51 Good, bad, I'd say it's borderline experimental. Sadly the rest of the movie doesn't stoop down to that level of schlock. It's just boring and insultingly stupid. It also feels like a soulless cash grab even compared to other slasher sequels. But yeah, that moment was entertaining in a "Sure that might as well happen" kind of way.
In the trivia section on the IMDB, there's an entry about how producer Ryan Freimann wanted Danielle Harris to make a cameo, but he was vetoed by undisclosed parties. I really feel sorry for Harris, as she acted her ass off in 4 and 5 and looked like she was genuinely traumatized.
"The only difference between us and Michael Myers is that the mask he wears...he can take off." This quote was not in the movie, but it might as well have been.
@@goblined "Michal Myers is returning to his childhood home. But the important thing isn't the destination, it's the... Halloween Kills he made along the way."
I still can't believe "Maybe we'll find him tomorrow, or next Halloween(TM)." is a line in the movie This shit's on part with "it's Morbin' time" jokes lol
one of the small things I love about this series is the fact the set literally hasn't changed since they started. the VHS repair shop and Plinkett's house have all these years of damages added up on them. I love the continuity.
"Old hickory" - it's endlessly entertaining that Mike keeps thinking that writers/directors will pick the most cerebral and interesting ideas, while reality proves him wrong every single time. He really is a perennial romantic softie inside, and it's slowly eating his sanity.
I have no idea why you think a reference to Andrew Jackson would be “cerebral” or “interesting” here. It would be as much of a non sequitur as “Old Huckleberry” is, and it would be even more muddled, because it would suggest symbolism where none exists.
@@MegaZeta ah, but you could tie it in to their talk of the last President and the Capitol events -- TH-cam now needs this brand new policy that you can't ever say an American election was rigged due to voter fraud, but *_coincidentally_* Andrew Jackson just happens to be the ̶o̶t̶h̶e̶r̶ ̶P̶r̶e̶s̶i̶d̶e̶n̶t̶ only President ever to have lost an election due to fraud -- oh wait, is mentioning the fraud of the 1824 election against YT policy?

"How would you describe brutally murdering a husband in front of his slowly expiring wife, that you have just stabbed through the throat?" Jay: "Mean spirited."
Also Jay: "I enjoyed that scene where the dying wife with a broken fluorescent light tube in her throat had to watch her husband stabbed to death with many different knives."
I just got finished watching the film and came back to rewatch this review. They really undersold just how bad this film is. It should be on a Best of the Worst. Some of my favourite highlights were a cop shooting another cop in the neck then proceeding to miss multiple shots at Michael from about 5 feet away and Michael kicking a door towards a woman causing her to rapidly spin around and accidently shoot herself in the head.
It's almost hard to believe the same people that made the last one made this one. I swear, the dialogue was so bad that by the time the fifth "Evil dies tonight!" I started to think the director was trolling us or this was a parody of something. I can't believe that they didn't see this.
@@VEE0034 Look up Curse of the Worst on this channel. For a while, people they mentioned died shortly after at an alarming rate. I myself believe it's because Rich Evans is actually the human form the grim reaper takes to walk among us on his off days and he was having a hard time at home and kept mixing up work and fun.
Omg. The tag line: "Whatever happens in Vegas, _D I E S_ in Vegas." Is seriously the *best* tag line for a slasher film set in Vegas, ever. I hope that gets used someday.
Honestly after seeing her past reasonings behind other Halloween movies now I think she was full of shit then- and that was a decade after Resurrection which she was vocally negative about. I wonder if she'll live long enough to be vocally negative about this one too. Or if truly she really only does care about the pay check. She did seem pretty impassioned about her feeling behind H20 and Resurrection, though. It's very confusing to me.
I believe John Carpenter is in possession of The One Ring. Peter Jackson removed that scene at the end of the Return of the King where Carpenter surfs by on the lava and takes it out of Gollum's hand.
I could've swore the old couple said "Cheese and Wine" but Jay was right again, they did say "Cheez-it and Wine"...Jay gave me a Tums Festival and he doesn't even know me lol. He is indeed a trivia GOAT.
What I really hate about these movies is that in this timeline Michael got captured immediately after the events of the original film (lame) and has been locked up for 40 years but in-universe it still feels like all the other sequels happened what with his insane power level and Satan reputation.
These new movies wanna have their cake and eat it too. They tell us to forget about all the sequels as they no longer exist in this timeline..... yet the new movies are filled with callbacks to the sequels and constantly reminding you of them. They erase the sibling connection between Laurie and Michael.... yet the new movies are all about Laurie and Michael. They erase all the mayhem Michael has caused in Haddonfield over the course of 7 movies (5 or 3 movies in either original timeline).... yet they want Michael to have the aura and legacy of someone who's returned to Haddonfield over and over and killed dozens of people, even though he's barely killed a handful of people in this new timeline. It wants to utilize/incorporate the legend /history of Michael that the sequels created, yet at at the same time wipe them out of existence. It's all a massive contradiction.
@Orkhiss Ah yes, because vandalizing, rioting, looting, breaking into the building, and assaulting Capitol Police officers is just walking around and doing nothing. You're either willfully ignorant or a massive idiot.
“It’s been forty years, all these people would not still be in this small town.” Mike clearly did not grow up in a small town. Also Paul Rudd turned down coming back as Tommy Doyle because of Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Take that for what you may.
@@vincenthalfprice9930 Lol my small town is 3,500 residents and we don't have a bus. There's a van that carts around old people so they can pick up their groceries, medication, and bi-weekly worship/ social outings.
"The only person who's even remotely human in this is Judy Greer." And boy howdy did David Gordon Green take care of that by the time this movie was over.
Heh. Well, it's actually appropriate for Halloween. I wonder how many people have been killed in all of these films combined by a character wearing Shatner mask. Not half as many as the men Shatner has personally beaten to death with his bare fists IRL. I'm sure.
This felt like a movie about my Fallout New Vegas character. Especially that scene at the end when Micheal reloads his quicksave and kills the mob. I could probably throw together a script for that vegas slasher movie.
This would probably never happen, but it’d be interesting to see a Halloween movie where Michael’s barely ever seen in it. It’d have everything else. Bodies are found. Rabble rousers are screaming he’s still out there as mobs get raised. The first responders practically drown with the amount of calls and reports they get about bodies found or people in trouble. But he’s rarely ever spotted, which really plays up the fear and suspense that made the first Halloween movie so tense. I guess I just unintentionally described every serial killer/police procedural out there, but still. I think that’d be a fun different take on it. Instead of turning Michael into a self-parody comic book supervillain.
The original movie didn't show much of him (at least as an adult) right away at all. For his early appearances he is shown from far away, or in profile in a vehicle, or behind flapping sheets, or behind a fogged car window You don't see him close up or clearly until almost the very end. That makes him much scarier, a true Boogeyman. In the new movie he fills the frame and is in sharp focus when exiting the house at the beginning, and is witnessed by multiple people while going on a huge murderous rampage. There is no mystery to that, no suspense. They should have shown a wide shot of the burning house and firefighters, and what you aren't sure might be Michael's figure skulking away from the house. Maybe they catch a blurry image on a surveillance camera, but don't notice it until later. Don't let the town know that he has survived right away. Let some time pass before people realize that the homicidal maniac didn't really die and is after them, and then they start finding bodies. This movie had no buildup whatsoever.
I think it be great if bodies show up and the town panics and goes full mob justice and chaos breaks out in the town the way you mentioned. And then it was never Myers. But just a random killing. Because people get stabbed and die all the time. But all those people in the bar are so obsessed with something that happened four decades ago that they just assume it Myers coming back and the panic drives the town crazy when it was never even him. It was just like a drug deal or a mugging gone wrong and someone got stabbed or something. Just like playing on the idea of how what you build up in your head is way worse then the reality.
@@ZodsSnappedNeck Honestly, I kinda loved it! It wasn’t perfect, some of the criticisms are warranted. But I came in with low expectations and was Very pleasantly surprised at how unlike any other Halloween movie it was. I know a lot of people seemed to hate it, but I truly think this is going to be a Season of the Witch kind of movie where people will look back on it later and decide it was actually pretty good and didn’t deserve the early backlash it got.

There's a season of Housewives where Richards is complaining about the bangs constantly bc she thinks they look bad but she had to get them for the film lol. As if any viewers were gonna be taken out of the experience by a conspicuously botox frozen woman in suburban Illinois having the wrong hair.
Haha. True. Same with making Jamie Leigh Curtis wear a long hair wig to match her hairstyle from 1978. God forbid a character changes their hairstyle in 40 years.

@@madijeis4320 You sound transphobic.
The idea of focusing on the trauma people go thru at the hands of Michael is great. It doesn’t hit the same when they try to apply it to literally the whole town.
It'd be like the residents of Beverly Hills getting together to talk about how the Manson Murders affected them 50+ years ago.
That was literally the most compelling thing about Halloween 2018, that Laurie remarks to the (eventually crazy) doctor that 'he's the new Loomis', when in actuality *she* is. She has an understanding of Michael and a preparedness that equals Loomis' in the original and that for years Michael has been singularly focused on Halloween night. They both sound crazy because of their dealing with Michael, but they know what he's capable of and are eventually vindicated.
With this? The traumatised mob are just a bunch of idiots who manage to pursue a mentally ill man to his death. It's like the bunch in Halloween 4 who immediately take up guns and manage to kill an innocent guy before getting picked off one by one.
@@samzilla567 that's a great analogy

Honestly it was better then any of the prior sequels (Aside from 2018), while it certainly had a ton of problems at least it didn't have the familial link between Laurie and Michael or Busta Rhymes vs Michael. I also count it as better then 4,5 & 6 because I can't take those films seriously after the ending of Halloween 2.
At least that was hilariously bad. This tries to act above the Halloween movies where it's just a big F*** you to the Halloween series and tries to overthink itself. It's like they were trying to make it their Aliens but ended up being a Alien³. And the fact it was professionally made is worse IMO. To see the potential wated by talented people.

There needs to be a new term in cinema: "REQUEL" -- a sequel which is also a reboot, in that it ignores all the sequels and is a new, replacement sequel to only the original. Godzilla did this a lot, as did Halloween 2018, and the recent Leprechaun movie.
We could use one of those for Alien, only it comes after Aliens, a threquel
@@ruthie8785 The Heisei era of Godzilla films began with a reboot in 1985 that ignored all previous Godzilla entries aside from the original '54 film. That continuity lasted until 1994. The subsequent Millennium era of films (1999-2004) went on to ignore everything - including all of those Heisei era films - except the original too, only they went even further and had every subsequent Millennium era release ignore each other. Meaning it was basically a chain of soft reboots one after the next, culminating in Final Wars in 2004.
Shin Godzilla was the first Toho film to do a clean break and offer a total continuity reboot. Hope this helps.
Also involving the work reek because in reality it fucking stinks
You mean a sea-boot?
Star Wars needs a definite requel to erase the last 2 films.
That scene where Michael was in that car and kicked the door open, which caused that woman to somehow shoot herself in the face, was the funniest fucking thing I've ever seen in what's supposed to be a serious horror movie... The entire film felt like it was a parody, akin to the Scary Movie franchise...

Eh, that was supposed to funny. It’s dramatic irony. She makes a big fuss that her guy doesn’t know how to use the gun and that she should have it.
Meanwhile the guy is in perfect position to get a shot on him and only has his stethoscope. The girl fires aimlessly at the car, hitting headlights and nothing else. Then Michael opens the door and she blows her own brains out. You think David Gordon Green, a pretty masterful comedic director, didn’t mean for that to be hilarious?

What I really hate about these movies is that in this timeline Michael got captured immediately after the events of the original film (lame) and has been locked up for 40 years but in-universe it still feels like all the other sequels happened what with his insane power level and Satan reputation.
These new movies wanna have their cake and eat it too. They tell us to forget about all the sequels as they no longer exist in this timeline..... yet the new movies are filled with callbacks to the sequels and constantly reminding you of them. They erase the sibling connection between Laurie and Michael.... yet the new movies are all about Laurie and Michael. They erase all the mayhem Michael has caused in Haddonfield over the course of 7 movies (5 or 3 movies in either original timeline).... yet they want Michael to have the aura and legacy of someone who's returned to Haddonfield over and over and killed dozens of people, even though he's barely killed a handful of people in this new timeline. It wants to utilize/incorporate the legend /history of Michael that the sequels created, yet at at the same time wipe them out of existence. It's all a massive contradiction.

He even used the VAT system to get some targeted slow motion kills.
This would probably never happen, but it’d be interesting to see a Halloween movie where Michael’s barely ever seen in it. It’d have everything else. Bodies are found. Rabble rousers are screaming he’s still out there as mobs get raised. The first responders practically drown with the amount of calls and reports they get about bodies found or people in trouble. But he’s rarely ever spotted, which really plays up the fear and suspense that made the first Halloween movie so tense.
I guess I just unintentionally described every serial killer/police procedural out there, but still. I think that’d be a fun different take on it. Instead of turning Michael into a self-parody comic book supervillain.
The original movie didn't show much of him (at least as an adult) right away at all. For his early appearances he is shown from far away, or in profile in a vehicle, or behind flapping sheets, or behind a fogged car window You don't see him close up or clearly until almost the very end. That makes him much scarier, a true Boogeyman.
In the new movie he fills the frame and is in sharp focus when exiting the house at the beginning, and is witnessed by multiple people while going on a huge murderous rampage. There is no mystery to that, no suspense.
They should have shown a wide shot of the burning house and firefighters, and what you aren't sure might be Michael's figure skulking away from the house. Maybe they catch a blurry image on a surveillance camera, but don't notice it until later. Don't let the town know that he has survived right away. Let some time pass before people realize that the homicidal maniac didn't really die and is after them, and then they start finding bodies. This movie had no buildup whatsoever.
Now that's a great idea! I'd like to see that too. Much more than this shit
I think it be great if bodies show up and the town panics and goes full mob justice and chaos breaks out in the town the way you mentioned.
And then it was never Myers.
But just a random killing.
Because people get stabbed and die all the time.
But all those people in the bar are so obsessed with something that happened four decades ago that they just assume it Myers coming back and the panic drives the town crazy when it was never even him.
It was just like a drug deal or a mugging gone wrong and someone got stabbed or something.
Just like playing on the idea of how what you build up in your head is way worse then the reality.
Thoughts on Ends?
@@ZodsSnappedNeck Honestly, I kinda loved it!
It wasn’t perfect, some of the criticisms are warranted. But I came in with low expectations and was Very pleasantly surprised at how unlike any other Halloween movie it was. I know a lot of people seemed to hate it, but I truly think this is going to be a Season of the Witch kind of movie where people will look back on it later and decide it was actually pretty good and didn’t deserve the early backlash it got.
