Watched Halloween Ends

The very first Halloween by Carpenter is such a master class in low budget horror/suspense. Well shot, paced just right, not really overly bloody (barely bloody even), and everyone gives the right measure of intensity, even typical ham Donald Pleasance. Barring Leopard Man, Psycho, and the recent directors cut of Dementia 13, it's the only slasher film I happen to like, because it's the only modern one that feels smart.

But God, every sequel is rubbish. I'm sure I'll hear disagreement here, whether it be 2, 3, H20 or even the modern reboots - if one of you even defends the Zombie remakes, kindly kill yourself - it escalates the mindless gore and loses the tension. By 5 and 6 they were pushing supernatural shit. I blame Friday the 13th for giving them that idea, fucking hacks.

I can't bring myself to watch this new one. Maybe it is even serviceable, but what's the point? I hope it goes dormant like Terminator after Dark Fate - you've had 45 years to top the first and you've failed about a dozen times.

It seems like the immediate reaction that everyone is having is hate. This is why I loved the movie. It is so fucking funny from start to finish. From pretty much the opening scene I knew how much the fans were going to hate it, so that quickly made me embrace the stupidity of it and have some serious loffs. I think there's a possibility this entire movie was a massive troll, because otherwise it's baffling. The director cited Twin Peaks as his main inspiration for the movie, and I can believe it.

People loved the first Halloween reboot, and it was shitty and predictable, so if everyone hates this, then it might be good.
What was so retarded about it?

I give 3 some credit for being different - the producers/rights holders reached out to Carpenter again (he somewhat consulted on the second, if I remember right) and John had the idea to veer away from Michael Meyers and turn the series into an anthology where every movie could be different - an ideal concept for a series titled "Halloween".

And while there's some good ideas there, it's still not a good movie. It's rare for horror series to have more than one good movie - hell, most modern ones don't really have any that I'd call good - but when you're the one that started the template for the modern version of the genre, becoming something different was actually smart. Shame it didn't work though.

Sometimes it is better to let a beloved property go, rather than keep dragging it out with new players to diminishing returns.

I've never been a big Halloween fan despite liking horror/thrillers/slashers in general. MM is just such an uninteresting villain, who is mortal and who should've been dead ten times by now.

WTF was this tag team partner thing? Is Cory part Michael? Was Cory always evil? Why is any of this going on? No explanation or reason for anything. Some fun kills as always though.

And Jamie Lee still has world class beefers.
