Pretty cliche. What bugs me the most is they called it Halloween... but it's a sequel... so in this timeline the films go
Halloween Halloween Halloween Kills Halloween Ends
Like there's already a remake called Halloween also... and this one ignores those remakes and everything after the original Halloween. So why not just call this one Halloween Returns or something, it's really not tough to come up with a subtitle. Halloween Kills doesn't make much sense but at least it's different from Halloween.
Lots of cliches like "see there's nothing there" oh actually there was something there omg. And movies nowadays that need to use loud sound effects to make it scarier just are pretty cheap to me. The thing about Halloween is it was always like decently realistic, I mean this movie could happen in reality as opposed to Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm St or Child's Play...
But what's so unrealistic is that Michael seems to literally be immortal, he's strong as hell despite not getting any exercise his entire life and being 60 years old. And the Haddonfield authorities must be the worst crime unit on the planet.
Anyways, obviously this movie isn't trying to be perfect or logical, it's a slasher film, if you like those then definitely worth watching, but probly won't stand out in your mind much. As unnecessarily filthy as the Rob Zombie remake was, it at least stuck in my memory because of how nauseating and realistic some of the violence was. Some kills in this one, like Mike stepping on a dude's head and squashing it like a pumpkin, made me laugh.
This is probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite Halloween film. Which isn't saying much.
