Halloween Kills Movie Review: A sorry sequel bloodbath
Updated On: 29 October, 2021 04:50 PM IST | Mumbai | Johnson Thomas
Despite several deliberate references to the original classic, this one fails to jack-up the chills and ends up looking rather limpid and careless - where fashioning a bloodbath became more important than retelling of a fearsome urban legend

Halloween Kills
Dir: David Gordon Green
Cast: Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer, Andi Matichak, James Jude Courtney, Nick Castle, Will Patton.
Rating: 2/5
David Gordon Green rebooted John Carpenter’s 1978 horror classic which released in 2018 and it wasn’t much of a seat warmer but hey …that did not stop him from attempting a sequel. And it’s one which he hopes will make you forget all the sequels to the original. So he goes bloodier and sillier trying to re-fashion a small-town (Haddonfield) legend of a bogeyman that doesn’t say die. Derived from John Carpenters’ famous Michael Myers and Laurie Strode saga, this one once again casts Jamie Lee Curtis as the crazy old woman aiming to crush the bogeyman who wiped out many from her family and small town on Halloween. Laurie Strode(Jamie Lee Curtis), at the end of the previous movie, believed she`d put an end to the recurring nightmare for her –by burning her own house down with Michael Myers (James Jude Courtney) in it. But while she is in hospital recovering from a knife wound inflicted by Myers, the town gets bloodied further as firemen, residents, cops medical professionals, odd couples, and many more get slaughtered on yet another never-ending Halloween night.
