Sinopsis(1)
Minutos después que Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), su hija Karen (Judy Greer) y su nieta Allyson (Andi Matichak) dejaran al monstruoso Michael Myers encerrado en una jaula y quemándose vivo en el sótano de Laurie, esta última es ingresada de urgencias en un hospital con gravísimas heridas, convencida de que por fin ha matado a ese horrible monstruo. Pero en el momento en que Michael consigue liberarse de la trampa de Laurie, vuelve a poner en marcha su habitual baño de sangre. A pesar del dolor producido por las heridas, Laurie se prepara para seguir defendiéndose y, de paso, consigue que todo el pueblo de Haddonfield se alce contra la demoníaca criatura. Las tres mujeres se unen a otros supervivientes del primer ataque desenfrenado de Michael Myers y deciden formar un grupo de vigilantes para intentar controlar la situación y acabar con él de una vez por todas. El mal morirá esta noche. (Universal Pictures España)

Halloween Kills es una película problemática, que padece el síndrome de la película intermedia de una trilogía (carece de principio y de final), y luego también del esquema elegido, en el que la trama se reparte entre muchos personajes secundarios, que desgraciadamente no fueron presentados en la película anterior, y que además parece algo «rellenada». Además los creadores se exceden con el enorme fanservice y los innumerables (e innecesarios) flashbacks. En otras palabras, es un poco un caos. No quiero ser malo en absoluto, me lo pasé muy bien con la película, pero tengo algunas dudas sobre si el equipo creativo que rodea a David Gordon Green sabe siquiera a dónde están llevando en realidad (además de hacia la propia cartera).

¡Un comienzo tan prometedor y un «final» tan imbécil! El potencial del reinicio de la franquicia anterior, razonable y satisfactorio para los fans, se fue a la m*!

A film as pointless as Mynář's press conference. It doesn't bring anything new to the genre, a soup reheated so many times that it’s inedible, and when it does come up with something unusual, which I consider to be the "popular uprising" of Haddonfield residents, it's as silly as Ovčáček's tweets. And Michael Myers here strikes me as an immortal cyber version of the T-1000 from Terminator and not a flesh-and-blood creature.

I was looking forward to the new Halloween even after the mixed reviews from Venice. I thought the attendees of that festival just couldn't appreciate a simple, blunt, but fun, brutal and atmospheric slasher ride. The whole campaign, after all, had been hyping that Halloween Kills would be mean and evil; the biggest Halloween ever with a massive body count. And that’s what dominates even in the responses here: that it's decent carnage and that the main problem is the illogical behaviour of the characters. That, for me, it’s just the bullshit that the campaign has drilled into our heads. Halloween Kills is awfully boring and very poorly constructed conceptually. It tries to psychologise the collective trauma of Haddonfield and spends an incredible amount of time with annoying characters that no one has ever cared about or can care about. And Laurie is stuck in the hospital the whole time, doing nothing. The kills are fine, but they don't take up much screen time, and I certainly don't think Myers is on screen more than in other instalments of the series. If only! At the expense of Tommy, Lonnie and those other annoyances. With each successive "Evil dies tonight!" I wanted to throw the monitor out the window more and more.

Michael Myers escapes a fiery inferno and goes back to mowing people down. This time, however, he is confronted not by Jamie Lee Curtis, but by a town full of people who have suddenly remembered that this serial killer exists and has somehow hurt them all. And so Myers mows down one anonymous person after another, only to have it all come to an end. And the film leaves a rather uncomfortable feeling that David Gordon Green and Danny McBride may have meant well, but unfortunately in execution they negated the entirety of the previous installment and made a mediocre at best murder mystery built on an ambitious but completely misguided idea. This franchise can do better than that. And so do these filmmakers.
