Halloween Kills | Film Review
I am a big fan of the Halloween franchise, so much so that I went to the cinema to see the film that came out before this, so I was really looking forward to seeing the sequel (though I didn't think the previous film needed one). After the events of the previous film, masked killer Michael Myers is on the loose and once again terrorising the residents of Haddonfield. But this time, the residents are ready to rid their town of evil once and for all. So, my hunch that this sequel wasn't needed turned out to be correct. For a start, this film starts directly after the last movie. And while this is fine, it felt like there was a bit too much time between the films for the audience to completely remember what happened last time, or who some of the characters are. Having said that, I did enjoy the links between the films - particularly the links back to the original 1978 movie. The 'Halloween' movies aren't the pinnacle of realism, but this one felt especially unrealistic...
