Dean (6925 KP) rated Tales of Halloween (2015) in Movies

Feb 21, 2018 (Updated Feb 21, 2018)

Good Horror Anthology

A good mix of various Halloween tales told over one night in a small town. If you like @Trick 'r Treat (2007) you should enjoy this.

Dean (6925 KP) rated Adam & Evil (Halloween Camp 2) (2004) in Movies

Feb 21, 2018

Known as Halloween Camp 2 in the UK. Not a bad sequel, although doesn't follow on from the first at all. It's a bit like Friday the 13th, but watchable.

Surprise Halloween treat

This looked OK from the trailer so gave it a go without expecting much. It was better than expected with a good mix of scares, creepiness and some funny moments. It had a feeling similar to @Final Destination (2000) and @Lights Out (2016) as people using a death predictor app try to cheat their fate. Well worth checking out this Halloween.

The original Halloween was never supposed to become a franchise, John Carpenter only ever wanted to make one film. Naturally, after the movie’s success, a sequel was greenlit soon after and was rushed into production with a massively increased budget.

Halloween II remains a troubled film. Cleverly set on the same night as its predecessor, it lacked the trademark stalk and kill sequences that made its forbearer such an impeccable addition to the genre.

Upping the budget also meant upping the gore and from here the series started to rely heavily on brutality rather than outright terror. Still, it’s a great film anchored by Jamie Lee Curtis’ brilliant performance as Laurie Strode.

LeftSideCut (3778 KP) rated Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995) in Movies

Apr 7, 2021

To it's credit, this sixth installment in the Halloween franchise is proper batshit. Its out of place quick edits and completely incoherent plot weirdly complement the bizarre performances. At one point, Paul Rudd walks away with a baby in his arms, hunched over like a suspicious child snatcher. Characters inexplicably know where to find eachother without prior contact. Nine of them behave like actual human being. Michaels blood is now green apparently? And they leaned hard into the cult stuff introduced in the previous movie. Its a shame because it eliminates most of Michaels mystique.

Halloween 6 is 100% a bad film, but I automatically rate it more than Halloween 5 just because of how nuts it is. Not quite the worst, miles away from the best.
