Halloween Kills Review - Off The Shelf Reviews

[@nicolechampeau8432]

I love it when Ian goes on a long emotional rant, and Gary just quietly goes to his calm place.

[@UnCreativeDeconstructionism]

i love when they both go on rants cuz gary would be like 😶😲😅 and iain would be like 😏😆🤣

[@deshaunwatson4462]

I died laughing when tommy was in the mob and shouted “evil dies tonight” with his finger in the air then he starts running..instantly reminded me of something George Constanza would do😂

[@porkflaps4717]

Anthony Michael Hall is so damn tough. When the new kids on the block were hanging tough, he was doing his thing in the Breakfast Club and I'm surprised anyone lived to talk about it. I hope he doesn't hear about this, I'll be a dead man.

[@vonb2009]

This film always makes me think of Loomis' line in the first film: "No, if you do that they'll see him on every street corner. They'll look for him in every house."

[@UnCreativeDeconstructionism]

they never even got that far.

[@menorahdarkness4877]

Nobody's EVER managed to capture the coolness and creepiness of Carpenter's original !

[@JT_Grogan]

Halloween II came close but I agree! The franchise quickly became a parody of itself

[@sasahuzjak2249]

And nobody ever will

[@brianmeen2158]

It’s impossible. Halloween 2(1981) came the closest .. the first two Halloween’s are the only truly creepy ones.

[@iamtrappedonanisland998]

What a TREAT!!!🎃🎃Thanks guys! I needed this after the day I have had...you are very appreciated for the hours of entertainment you have supplied over the years, Happy Halloween!

[@morfiend2170]

I think the real meaning behind the title being "Kills", was to actually to kill the franchise. An evil dies tonight was them telling us to stop watching the series and let it die. "Did I just come up with a bunch of crap?", yes just like they did with this movie. Great video

[@justincenter4061]

What would be even better? It refers to killing the Michal Myers story and the next movie is a remake of Season of the Witch.

[@xenablossom4682]

If they stuck with John Carpenter's original anthology idea, then Season of the Witch wouldn't feel out of place in the franchise, and we'd have whoknows how many different Halloween movies now. They had the perfect idea right there, but went with "more Michael Myers."

[@gnc623]

YES! I'm ready to sacrifice Halloween 4 and on for the anthology series. I am morbidly curious what types of films we would've gotten.

[@behindthescenesphotos5133]

There was nothing to stop them from doing both, making an anthology series apart from the Michael Myers movies. Having the "Halloween III" in the title makes it sound like a continuation. They could have just released it as "Halloween Tales: Season of the Witch," and still made money with direct sequels.

[@cnferguson5]

Who here thought that Michael was gonna dress in the fire fighter outfit and escape? That would've been great.

So while Laurie was the only one traumatized 40 years later by Michael but Lindsey, Tommy, Lonny & Nurse Chambers aren't affected in the least that they still live in Haddonfield.

[@sumthingwikked4257]

Realistically, those former three don't know Michael was a force of evil. The nurse has some idea from Loomis but do you expect Haddonfield to be THAT smart to go "call the military".

[@jonahjones1702]

I'm also a massive John Carpenter fan and to think he put his name on these films 😭

I am also a massive Carepnter fan, and I am super greatful he got invloved, gave Green his insight, and made 3 amazing scores that eleveated this new series big time!

[@user-zh4vo1kw1z]

I will only accept this movie as the delirium of Mickey as his brain starts to boil in his skull and he remembers an alternate timeline where he suddenly had always had a weird cheap tattoo on his wrist

[@UnCreativeDeconstructionism]

I love that "The Warriors" Reference. also *Turn Up*

[@AubreyTheKing]

Wow...if you guys hated Halloween Kills, you guys better avoid Halloween Ends! Imao With that being said, as a diehard Halloween fan myself, I hate to admit it, but I actually enjoyed Halloween Kills. Especially after watching Halloween Ends. I'm starting to appreciate Kills a lot more. Yes, the characters are stupid. Yes, the pacing is horrible. Yes, the story is ridiculous. But what I personally love about Kills, is that it's actually Michael's movie. It's not about the victims or even Lorie herself. Which I think is why she was pushed aside in the film. It's all about Michael Myers going on a killing spree. And the kills ARE the best things about this movie. Also, the film recreating John Carpenter's 1978 Halloween and the guy looking extremely like Donald Pleasence was handle perfectly. Can't complain. But I can see why most fans would hate Kills, I can't even defend the movie much myself. But again, I personally enjoyed it. Happy Halloween Guys!

[@brianubben3074]

[@Phantasmlovecraft]

hope we get an END review soon

[@TheBeird]

I love Danny McBride. Hand on heart, I believe he and his frequent collaborators - including David Gordon Green - are very capable storytellers. But their Halloween movies are awful. And awful from a writing perspective. Especially in this one, the dialogue is didactic and inhuman.

[@retroworld8090]

Iain! Don't watch ends. If kills upsets you this much ends will end your soul!

[@victorguzman723]

I feel both your emotions Gary and Ian. thanks for all your great videos.... LOVE HURTS... LOVE KILLS.. and LOVE ENDS..... HAPPY HALLOWEEN !

Loved the ending of this review from you guys! Gary's face when Ian says "this film is a sespool of sh**" 🤣🤣🤣 And Ian when he says "I wash my hands of it" with the dusting his hands off motion. Class from both of you!! 🤣😍👏 Scott 🤓🤓

[@thew0rdsmyth]

Ian is right. They got rid of Michael's background and motivation which makes it hard to keep making films. Unless Michael gets some depth and motivation (even as a silent killer), the movies will deteriorate.

[@sumthingwikked4257]

Then people will bitch that they explained too much. You can't continue the story anymore. Michael was shot six times in 1, then burnt to shit in II. That's the end. Everything after 3 is fanfic.

[@deckarobinson7675]

[@iyona14granturismogt6gtspo7]

Halloween Ends sucked because No Judy Greer!!! Her energy made both movies enjoyable, without her Ends is just a weird Prologue.

[@VenusHeadTrap2]

A cop accidentally shoots his friend in the throat in a flash back? That wouldn’t happen in the original Halloween, nobody in that movie was that stupid.

[@lotrgirl275]

Just saw Halloween Ends and.. give me Hellraiser Judgment over that steaming pile of nonsense any day! Maybe not Revelations, but.. it's close. How in the money did Jamie Lee Curtis agree to this?

[@Welovehorrormovies]

The only good thing about this movie was when Jamie shouted in the hospital “Move you F$$king sheep!!!” 😂😂 Other than that, it was horrible. It broke my heart too. Halloween was my first horror movie I ever watched when I was about six years old so I feel your pain!

[@BackyardPix]

This new trilogy managed to top the stupidity of the earlier sequels. An amazing feat, really. Kills and Ends are, truly, some of the worst movies I have ever seen. Not hyperbole - just the truth. I refuse to believe that actual human beings wrote the scripts. It had to have been a diabolical AI that generated them. A person couldn't come up with something this moronic.

[@michaelcoffey1991]

As a mindless slasher this is a fun movie for me, as the 2nd film of a new Halloween trilogy it really dropped the ball on what COULD of been and SHOULD of been the majority of the film which is Haddonfield vs Michael Myers. It is just the way it was handled and the lack of it being the total focus was meh at best to me. I think Ian was full of @hit in his rant, tho I will always be happy when people speak their minds whether I agree or not. Agree with Gary the flashback stuff to start the film was amazingly well done and shot.

[@jamessiddle7389]

That's the problem with these film's, they fail to write character's you really care about just poor character development. Cutting back to Gary laughing after the nurse kill is priceless 🤣🎃

I think there's an idiom that applies here; the film can look good, it's just not a good film. Thanks for the review :) There appears to be a small continuity error where the nurse shoots herself; the door is open while she's shooting until she gets close to the door when suddenly, it is closed enough to be opened into her. Must be more Myers magic.

Halloween 2018 showed promise for a good return of the franchise, at that time many wanted a sequel, but writers wanted to do something different and instead started to turn it in the wrong direction. The concept of evil inside people, mob mentality, and all that is an interesting idea, but not well developed against the formula of Michael killing around. Is a shame because the production is good, as well as the cast, but the whole thing was damaged by the writing and concept of the movie.
