Storyline: Movie takes off from the last one as Michael Myers walks out of the fire and continues to kill
Review (Spoils): Right off the start we have the continuation of the series from the last film Halloween. Laurie and her family get shipped to the hospital as Michael walks through the fire to continue to kill. It just happens that a large group of past individuals from the first few films are drinking at a tavern and here the news. Nothing makes sense so hell why not all get together and see if they can take Myers down. Makes sense, right? Wrong it doesn’t.
Outside of the craziness of the characters that written into this one from past series this makes almost zero sense why they thought they could just take Michael down together. But I do have to say this one is one bloody fun mess (almost as messy as the storyline). We have a nice nod to Halloween III with the Shamrock masks, lots of stabbings, stabs in the eye, killing past characters off, lots of car windows blown out, lock downs, town mobs that think they can take down Myers, Tommy speeches, nasty body splash, fun head stair smash, a unmasked Myers, slit throats, lots of blood sprays and Laurie sitting on a hospital bed.
Rating: Going to be honest love that series is still ongoing and not doing the whole Zombie versions anymore. But this one felt like it was trying to the ultimate nod and it’s kind of was but at the same time it felt silly and jammed of just Tommy being a nutbar thinking he could do something that Laurie never could. “Evil Dies Tonight “chants and the whole town just pretty much placing themselves on a blood alter. Really a nod could have been better written with some of these characters in for an actual purpose that made sense. Beers to the blood though.
6/10 Beers! Yacker
