To use Goya’s words, “the sleep of reason produces monsters,” and Michael Myers is the Fear that we all carry within us, and that we come face to face every day, when we look at ourselves in the mirror.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 17, 2024

John Carpenter had a sense of pacing which heightened the tension with judicious kills whereas “Halloween Kills” is all chaos cinema and Beauty and the Beast’s Mob Song without the music.

Never was there a film truer to its name. They’re sliced up with kitchen knives, hollowed out with a fluorescent strip light, bisected with a chain saw and impaled on banisters. The body count is phenomenal. We love this stuff. You know we do.

The entire story is Michael Myers kills stupid people who chase him.

| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Aug 10, 2023

Halloween Kills may fall flat in its commentary, but it excels in its pure slasher carnage. This is the most brutal we have ever seen Michael Myers.

| Aug 9, 2023

Shockingly bloody and violent from the get go, Halloween Kills is a fast paced, gory bloodbath that has its repetitive moments yet hits high on the entertainment scale.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 27, 2023

A Sadly just a fun mixed bag of a movie. I was so EXCITED, & left let down by certain story choices. The concept when executed greatly is great!!

...it also does a lot really well, and in many ways this is the most gloriously ambitious of all the sequels...

There are interesting ideas for vivisection here, but the execution’s a mess.

Halloween Kills is a worthy sequel and continuation to the original story as it ups the violence and gore.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jan 21, 2023

It is a shame after David Gordon Green’s effective soft reboot/recalibration of the franchise, all that good will is squandered here. After 106 minutes of people shouting “EVIL MUST DIE TONIGHT!”, perhaps it is time for the franchise to finally die.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 12, 2022

Halloween Kills attempt at addressing mob rule and the dangers it poses doesn’t mesh in a movie about an unstoppable killer.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 4, 2022

I am not entirely certain what happened with Halloween Kills. I am not even too sure if I particularly liked what I saw.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Oct 24, 2022

We were cool with the "Kills" part of the title.

| Oct 17, 2022

Halloween Kills inches dangerously close to taking itself too seriously...

| Sep 14, 2022

Kills takes the respect earned by it's predecessor and squanders it for buckets of gore. Myers continues to be a standout as he tears through a series-high bodycount. The script and characters; however, are the movie's biggest fatalities.

| Original Score: 2.75/5 | Aug 19, 2022

There simply isn’t enough story progression and too much time is wasted on shallow, meaningless side characters. Here’s hoping “Halloween Ends” puts the Strodes back in the spotlight and gives us a fitting finish to make it all worthwhile.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 16, 2022

This is not the best horror, certainly not the best Halloween, but this gives the fans plenty of expected moments and old favourites.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 15, 2022

With such a strong premise for the first film of a reboot trilogy, it’s unfortunate that Halloween Kills is such a slog.

| Jul 21, 2022

I have a soft spot for Michael Myers movies, so it is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me, but hopefully the next one is better than this one.
