Just seen this at the cinema and I must say it's surpassed my expectations. This film is easily the best installment in the franchise since the two original masterpieces (Alien and Aliens). The story is ingenious how it ties in to the source material and bridges a gap between the prequel movies without rehashing already know information. It's very much it's own movie with subtle tie ins to the greater alien franchise. It's well paced, well thought out, with great new characters on their own journey in this well established franchise. It was fresh but familiar at the same time. The score was insane and made it very atmospheric, adding to the feel and horror of it all. I got hints of Alien, Aliens, Alien 3 and Prometheus embedded in the score but it wasn't that much that it comes across as repeating previous installments. The soundtrack is a beast in itself. Beautiful, atmospheric, shocking and well paced. Sound design was amazing. Visually beautiful and terrifying. The characters were well portrayed and I felt like I was on the journey with them. Great work from Fede Alverez, the cast and crew and everyone involved in this movie. Finally someone has done the franchise proud. I had goosebumps throughout the whole movie. I can see why Ridley Scott was backing this movie. Best film I'm seen in years 🙏❤️

I will say this film did not disappoint me at all. Halloween Kills was worth the wait. I was excited to see the sequel movie last year but Covid put a stop to all that unfortunately. I really liked the vision that David Gordon Green and Danny Mcbride and John Carpenter brought to life to Bring Michael back to our screens once again. It tied in with the Original movie it portrayed the story very well and Michael Myer was electrifyingly sinister once again. That amazing performance rolled straight into Halloween Kills. For a long time Michael Myers has been portrayed but his legend and ruthlessness has not been on point until now. His presence is felt everywhere in this movie, even when he's not on screen he has this hold over Haddenfield and they are petrified of him, he is more than just a man. I love where the story goes in this film and its nice to see other original characters being brought in and included. I loved the original Sheriff Bracketts Appearance in the Hospital and also the inclusion of Tommy Doyle. Best of all was Donald Pleasance being Edited into the movie to really give it the feel of an original Halloween that has been created true to its origins. The Cast performances were amazing to say the least. The music from John Carpenter was superb and it just gave me goosebumps the whole way through. I must say I love horror movies but Halloween franchise has to be my favourite. Michael Myers is guilty pleasure and I Loved the escapism of being drawn into his world again. Everything about this movie is just wow!!!!!. I don't want to see Michael's demise in Halloween Ends but im kinda feeling that's where it's heading. Halloween Kills gave me my favourite big screen character in all his savage glory and a whole town of terrorised people just shocked and in awe of Michaels Unstoppable force of nature. With the final moments of this film showing Michael at his very best it sets up a massive showdown next year when Michael comes home once again 🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
