Roman Holiday Posted September 13, 2022 Posted September 13, 2022 Poor Jamie, I know she's tired of being humiliated.
ccfan007 Posted September 13, 2022 Posted September 13, 2022 Does the last image look like another flashback sequence? or is that just me.

ConceptD Posted September 14, 2022 Posted September 14, 2022 Damn I had such high hopes after Halloween 18 but they really fumbled the bag.

I love the original and H20 but I never got the appeal of Halloween 2. I prefer rob zombies remake to that but his sequel was horrific. It feels like nobody can get this incredibly simple formula right. They all try to add too much when all you need is a suburban setting and Michael.
Sweetestsecret Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) https://www.boxofficepro.com/long-range-box-office-forecast-halloween-ends-and-white-bird-a-wonder-story/ As many franchise sequels have before, Halloween Ends will likely pay for the sins of its predecessor’s mixed reception. Halloween Kills saw a significant drop-off in critical reception, and a fairly noticeable one from some audiences as well. Like that 2021 follow-up, Ends will again be going day-and-date in theaters and streaming for free to Peacock subscribers. 10/14/2022 Halloween Ends $35,000,000 – $45,000,000 Edited September 20, 2022 by Sweetestsecret
qurl Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 DDG needs to stay far, far away from iconic horror properties … wouldn’t be surprised if / am very much hoping his Hellraiser reboot for HBO gets canned. even 2018 is bad. Kills was just a completely unserious parody of a horror movie, but the positive reception that 2018 got always befuddled me because that movie is pretty awful too. i can’t even fathom what a flaming dumpster fire of idiocy Ends is going to be. sucks cuz it’ll prolly be a while before there’s ever another Halloween reboot cuz these sucked so much.

Finally someone who speaks logically.. I said it before but I will say it again that Halloween 2018 was horrible and the positive reaction from critics were fake (someone paid them cause there's no other way) !! David Gordon will direct new sequels for ''The exorcist'' franchise..I don't know if he can make a worse movie than exorcist 2:the Heretic but he will destroy another franchise for sure .

ccfan007 Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 This is the HALLOWEEN franchise we're talking about... considering that, 2018 was actually a good film in this franchise and probably the last good one since H20. I can agree that kills can be viewed as ridiculous to most but to my point, are ya'll expecting Oscar worthy films? Maybe I have lowered the bar since I know that almost all of the movies after the original were pretty awful so I don't go into it expecting much more than another Halloween film.
UnusualBoy Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 Didn't know the recent Halloween moves were too disliked here lol. I for one love, Halloween 1, 2 & 4. The #3 shouldn't even exist since it doesn't even make sense. H20 is cute but doesn't hold a candle to the OGs.

ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted September 20, 2022 ATRL Moderator Posted September 20, 2022 Rewatched Kills with a friend to see if it was truly as bad as I remember and… well… it’s not the most terrible film I’ve ever seen but god is it bad. I’m still optimistic about Ends though! Don’t understand why they are releasing it day and date though? Am I wrong for thinking that has to be because they don’t have confidence in it? I mean Scream managed to make some waves and didn’t have the Halloween season effect, I feel like Ends could do numbers at the box office and putting in on Peacock is only going to shortchange that.

Maybe I have lowered the bar since I know that almost all of the movies after the original were pretty awful so I don't go into it expecting much more than another Halloween film. i mean in terms of the production , 2018 is a good *looking* film. they spent the money making it look good and continuing the visual continuity of the story , but it’s the story and storytelling itself that was abysmal. more so the storytelling tbh bc they had such a good opportunity in 2018 to make a movie about generational TRAUMAH experienced by women but it falls flat with shoehorned subplots (the podcasters) and an insanely lazy/stupid 11th hour twist (the doctor) on top of mid acting from the young/newer cast members. judy greer is an icon and she gives nothing in this movie till like the last 5 minutes. the casualness of a lot of the dialogue comes across more as cringey to me than it does authentic. and then there are certain scenes / stylistic cinematic choices that i found weird and unnecessary for a Halloween movie by ppl that claimed to have such reverence for the first one. the original is an understated masterpiece and there’s a way to do a sequel 40 years later where ur not just throwing the kitchen sink of current pop culture zeitgeist into a movie and they failed imo

David Gordon will make a sequel to the original classic 'the exorcist ' .. and if it has success he will make a trilogy (Halloween franchise teas)
Chris Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 Halloween (2018) was amazing. Halloween Kills was trash and boring and uninspired.
Roman Holiday Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) Halloween Kills was bad, but let’s not act like any sequel has been good. H20 is the best and even that film leads into the awful Resurrection. Just accept the Halloween films as dumb slashers we get every now and then. They will probably will never be excellent. I still enjoy seeing Michael kill people in October. Better than seeing a Saw movie every Halloween. That was a nightmare era Edited September 20, 2022 by Roman Holiday

That was a nightmare era Lol Halloween 2 exists and it's the best sequel and the only one who had the tone and the atmosphere of the original..also H20 was good and the perfect closure of the trilogy..we can forget that resurrection exists and it's all good .but David Gordon's movies are abominations Edited September 21, 2022 by Sweetestsecret
