Halloween Kills (2021)

Gotchu. So many of these movies and timelines, it's easy to get confused

I might actually re-visit some of those over Halloween period, it's been a minute

This latest reboot has honestly made me hate Halloween. There's zero reason for 3 main timelines (4-6, H20-H:R, 2018-Kills) and a remake timeline.

Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street are so simple that not only do they have one timeline, but they share the SAME timeline. Simple.

I like the producer's cut of 6 a lot. It's got some of the best cinematography and atmosphere in the series.

I have seen the alternate cuts and it is indeed a lot better than the original.

I actually like 5 and 6... *hides in shame*

Agree about Resurrection, tho. I liked the new movie while some parts dragged on and were a bit boring, overall it was alright imo.

It’s okay, I’m probably the only person that actually likes the Rob Zombie Halloween movies.

I like you. 4-6 is my trilogy (plus 1 and 2).

Not too high of a bar to reach though

From everything I've heard, I'll probably enjoy this. I mostly care about Michael doing his thing and quality kills. I gather it's not like a movie you need to see RIGHT NOW or anything like that

True.

The producers cut of 6 is okay.
Better than the Theatrical.
But again, that’s not saying a great deal.

I liked the reboot, but can totally understand why people don't. They've changed up the timelines so much, I thought H20 was quite fitting as well tbh.

NOES is my favourite for consistency reasons. Plus I feel like compared to Friday and Halloween it has had the best stretch of movies.

There is a couple in the series that aren't overly great, but for the most part it's pretty entertaining throughout and Robert Englund being in all of them helps. Freddy vs Jason is also pretty dumb fun, I enjoyed it

You're not. I like the 2007 one a lot, I hated the sequel though. Felt totally different.

I thought the Young Michael parts were interesting. Has flaws but I liked what Zombie tried to do with it.

Remove the child stuff from 2007 and I quite like the actual remake portion of it. The 2009 sequel might be my least favorite slasher film ever.

Agreed.
The first half of RZ’s Halloween is awful.
But when Michael escapes, it’s actually good.

 

[Jimmy King]

I liked the Young Michael aspects of the first Zombie film, but I can see why other folks may not care for it.

I do agree that the 2009 Zombie film was the weaker of his two films but I still like it, not nearly as much as his first film but it’s still fun to me at least.

I like a lot Zombie’s other films too like House of a 1,000 Corpses, Devil’s Rejects, 3 From Hell, and 31. I like the gritty feel to his films.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

If the family wasn't so unapologetically white trash, I may have been able to swallow the concept.

Zombie doesn’t know anything else.
If someone else primarily wrote both films, they could have both been a lot better.
