Green delivers a smart, sturdy second chapter. Low consequence, perhaps, but still highly entertaining. Read full review

Halloween Kills suffers from being the second chapter in a trilogy, but it still delivers gory fun, fantastic performances, and an electrifying score from John Carpenter. There are enough callbacks to the original film to satisfy Carpenter fans while also expanding the mythology around Michael Myers and the town of Haddonfield in meaningful ways. Read full review

Whatever else could be said about this competent and generally pretty entertaining latest addition to the series, surprising it is not. Read full review

As with so many middle parts of proposed trilogies, Halloween Kills feels designed to get you from Point A to a future Point C. It forgets, however, that a middle chapter still has to work on its own, and that stranding fans, completists, casual moviegoers, etc. in a weak-link entry runs the risk of permanently turning people off of the whole endeavor.

As a thoroughly modern, self-reflective revival of one of the most famous horror films of all time, 2018’s Halloween felt like a small miracle. Its sequel suggests that Green shouldn’t have pushed his luck. Read full review

In trying to do too much, Halloween Kills ends up doing nothing at all, other than tarnishing this franchise’s good name. Read full review

Rarely will you see a more soul-numbingly empty product of this tragic operation than Halloween Kills, a film that so completely sucks the vitality out of John Carpenter’s and Debra Hill’s original vision that one would be tempted to call it a desecration if that didn’t make it sound like more fun than it actually is.

I don't understand critics, but then again I just saw a list where one of them had Halloween II 2009 as the 7th best Halloween and Halloween III as the 2nd best.. so that tells you how much you need to take their opinions into account if they have a film that has NO Michael Myers in it atI don't understand critics, but then again I just saw a list where one of them had Halloween II 2009 as the 7th best Halloween and Halloween III as the 2nd best.. so that tells you how much you need to take their opinions into account if they have a film that has NO Michael Myers in it at #2.. but what is #2? Halloween Kills! What more can you ask for?! This is Michael at his most brutal, he wants his house back and he'll kill anyone who stands in his way. Halloween Ends comes next year so im sure you can guess somewhat what happens but I promise you, you ain't seen Michael Myers until you've seen Halloween Kills.… Expand

Wenn man als Film mehr sein will als "nur" ein Slasher, dann sollte man auch so etwas wie ein nachvollziehbares Drehbuch haben. Ich wurde doch sehr vom Finale überrascht, da ich davon ausging, dass es sich um den Auftakt zu zweiten Akt handeln würde. So lässt sich "Halloween Kills" als ChaosWenn man als Film mehr sein will als "nur" ein Slasher, dann sollte man auch so etwas wie ein nachvollziehbares Drehbuch haben. Ich wurde doch sehr vom Finale überrascht, da ich davon ausging, dass es sich um den Auftakt zu zweiten Akt handeln würde. So lässt sich "Halloween Kills" als Chaos beschreiben, in dem vieles passiert, aber nichts wichtiges; der Film wirkt wie das Zwischenstück von Auftakt ("Halloween") und Finale ("Halloween Ends").

+ kreative Kills
+ toller Score & Soundtrack ❤️
+ Kamera
+ Michael

- alle Charaktere sind egal
- wenige Kills für einen Film mit "kill" im Titel
- fragwürdige inszenatorische Entscheidungen
- Drehbuch & Pacing
- viel Gewusel, nix dahinter
- "Gesellschaftskritik" driftet ins Lächerliche ab
- Laurie liegt einfach wieder nur rum und ist gefühlt 10 min on Screen… Expand

No Horror, Not exciting, Only Blood
I didn't foresee the end, but I don't care because I wouldn't watch the next part anyway.
