Halloween (2018) KILL COUNT

Welcome to Killcam where we tell the victims of all our favorite horror movies. I'm James Agee, nice and today we're watching Halloween, no, no, the 1978 original, nor the Rob Zombie remake, yes, there you have the

2018

sequel. It has exactly the same name as the original for some reason although its title is the same Halloween

2018

is not a reboot at least not entirely what it does is create another new timeline in the Halloween franchise since this movie is a direct sequel to the original 1978 Classic, so in line In the time of this film there has never been a Jamie Lloyd, a Carrie Tate, a Busta Rhymes or a lunar zombie Sheri and perhaps most significantly is that Michael Myers and Laurie Strode are no longer related, wasn't her brother a bloody murder cold? not all those teenagers, that's just a little thing that some people made up to make him feel better, I think since then I remember that fact didn't come to light until Halloween: in 1981, that girl, that's true, is Michael's sister Myers.

I think it's completely understandable that I wanted to wipe the slate clean because the timelines of this franchise are ridiculous and it's so much easier to start over from the end of the original. Halloween 2018 is the first sequel since Season of the Witch to have direct involvement from series co-creator John. Carpenter and indeed the entire film was billed as a return to form by director David Gordon Green and co-writer Danny McBride. I think they mostly achieved that goal, although he may be a lot flashier and/or ER than the now 40 year old. Original, it definitely feels more like the carpenter's classic than anything involving cult curses or big brother-style livestreams in this timeline.

Michael has been waiting 40 years to

kill

again. How many will he insure as a sadistic and vivacious 60-year-old man? Let's find out and get to them. The film begins at Smiths Grove sanatorium, where uncomfortable close-ups and excellent sound design create an immediate sense of unease. A pair of aspiring podcast journalists, Dana and Erin, are there to record a story about Michael Myers and to that end they meet with Michael's supervising doctor. Sartain who sounds like dr. Loomis, in more ways than one, michael has been the obsession of my life; In fact, Sartain was a student of Dr.

Loomis, who remains Loomis' shadow, is important in this franchise almost a quarter century after the death of Donald Pleasence, dr. Loomis was the only one to see it in the wild and concluded that it was nothing more than pure evil. Sartain takes them to the prison yard where Michael Myers is the king of this human chess board, the little pawns around him starting to go crazy. Fuck you when Aaron tries to reach into Michael's soul and conjure up something using his old Bill Shatner mask, he says he got the mask from a friend at the attorney general's office, which I'm sure I mean is just a little evidence of a murder case that could well leave the amateur.

Podcasters don't borrow much now, well the mess they used in this movie isn't really the same one they had in 1978. Makeup artist Christopher Nelson recreated that mask and added really cool aging effects to it. I think the mask in this movie looks better than most. Of those in the entire series, it especially has that stupid alien that looks like it's from Part 5 in this movie Michael Myers is played by actor and stuntman James Jude Courtney, who was a very nice guy when I met him at the Halloween convention last year . In fact, Courtney was recommended for the role by stunt coordinator Ron Hutchinson, who did stunts in this movie as well as Rob Zombie Halloween, because everyone in this movie is obsessed with hearing Michael speak, for some reason Aaron told him. he shouts at the hibernating

kill

er to say something.

Rarely does his command finally reach an intensity that leads to a title card, the opening credits kick a lot of ass with a reverse decaying pumpkin and the opportunity to cut to the theater when John Carpenter's name appears, everything is set for an incredible update on It's their classic theme and ends with a close-up of Jack-o'-Lantern's eye and nose. Now, can you tell that's Michael holding a knife? Many of you couldn't see it in the original, even after I pointed it out. maybe that's why they made it a lot clearer this time, when we returned we found our intrepid podcasters driving around Haddonfield Illinois and recording some seriously shit quality audio, as I mentioned before in the fantastic trailer reaction video that Chelsea and I. we did for this movie, we've used the tascam dr-40 extensively and if you want to know what it would sound like to record without an external microphone like Aaron does, then this is what it sounds like, it sounds like her, Aaron and Dana shooting. to a private property that is fenced like a tyrannosaurus pen and has a security camera watching.

This is Laurie Strode's home and podcasters gain access with the promise of a $3,000 bribe or speaking fee. Laurie's house is a complete isolationist bunker and it is in this spotlight house where we get to see the latest most famous girl in the world right after she takes care of all these locks and barriers, well, okay, one more, There it is, yes, Jamie Lee Curtis, it's great to see you. Once again, Laurie is not very receptive to these Yahoos who are snooping through her personal stories so they can get more downloads for her podcast through them. We learn that she has been divorced twice and is currently estranged from her daughter's family.

The conversation is obviously very painful for Laurie, which makes this entire scene a great commentary on how any idiot with the Tascam can imagine the next series and invade communities and personal lives. However, Laurie isn't having it and she sends these podcasters back to whatever shitty town they came from. Let's meet Laurie's estranged family that we know. I just found out that they consist of her daughter Karen, played by Judy Greer, Karen's husband Ray, played by the World's Strongest Man Toby Huss, and her National Honor Society daughter Alison, played by the newcomer in quotes and Amanda Jack.

They are introduced to us at breakfast. scene which is always funny remember Rob Zombie's let's see how this family compares oh man I have peanut butter on my penis weirdly similar I guess if you're white trash or the National Honor Society breakfast is a good time to talk about penises like us. I already found out through those pushy podcasters, Laurie Strode, "doesn't get along with her daughter's family, although it seems like Allison wants to be closer to Graham Graham than her mom Karen will let her, expresses this frustration everyone in your social circle, let's see." She has her best friend Vicky, who loves that MOBA.

Vicki's boyfriend Dave, a STONER played by Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon's son, whose antics involve blowing up pumpkins. Her bad boy boyfriend, Cameron, who's more interested in the next night's Halloween party than getting to know each other. Allison's parents at a dinner that night and Cameron's best friend Oscar, a GAD mini Josh who serves as solid comic relief, you know, you're just too gross a dumpster and I want to go Camaro diving while Allison is in class, we got a nod to that scene from the original when Laurie looked out the window to see Michael Myers, but unlike when they alluded to that scene in h2o with Michelle Williams also seeing Michael when she looked out her classroom window of classes, this time through Laurie herself standing there watching this.

The movie does that a lot, having Laurie replace Michael, the new interpretations of classic shots, it's a fun way to touch on the theme that Laurie and Michael are always connected, even without the family relationship. Laurie's at school, pass, that podcaster pays to play. to Alison for her achievements in National Honors and during their tense conversation Laurie defends her parenting techniques that ended up causing her to lose custody of her daughter when Karen was 12 it's the way I raised your mother it means she hates me but then it is prepared For the horse of this world, then I can live with it.

Laurie is definitely prepared for the horrors of this world with a home shooting range full of dummies and plenty of weapons, including one of those lever-action rifles Ash had in an army of darkness. and which I previously mistook for a shotgun thanks for the correction you know I'm a gun dummy Laurie takes one of her guns and gently strokes the trigger while she sits in a car that night drinking bottles of alcohol, the reason why it is like that One disaster right now is because they're transferring Michael from Smiths Grove to another setup in the scene that features a voiceover of comedian Colleen Mahan doing a Loomis impersonation that plays over an illustration of our favorite shrunken form, while that our least favorite shrunken way is to board the bus to accompany your patient, we'll see how that works later, but now let's try some Jamie Lee Curtis is a famous scream, he still received it at a restaurant.

Allison's family is celebrating her academic success and meeting her boyfriend Cameron. Whose father is no stranger to Ray, no, there's no money written off there, oh yeah, I sell peyote, wait, Lonnie, why does that sound familiar? Oh shit, that's true. Lonnie was one of the little bastards who bullied Tommy Doyle about the boogeyman and made him smash his pumpkin. In fact, it was Richie, Lonnie's friend and fellow bully, who was the first person to run into Michael Myers with that cool sound effect. Laurie crashes the family dinner and chases down all that alcohol from the plane with a glass full of red.

Exactly why we don't arrive. Tell Karen, no shit, but you can't really blame her. I mean, who wants her drunk mother crying over her main courses, even if it does give this movie a chance to reference Michael the Sheep's nickname, that's cool, but us? I have company here for dinner, Grandma after Alison comforts her vulnerable grandmother. Lori takes off in her giant truck and in a strangely flat performance by Judy Greer Karen re

I've spent my entire life trying to overcome the paranoid neuroses she has projected onto me. Maybe the monotone is supposed to come from dredging up childhood trauma, but it still seems a little strange to talk about interesting vocal performances. Here is this. kid, his name is Kevin and he's not excited about going on a hunting trip with his dad, enjoy, but I'm missing dance classes, yeah, he also sounds like he just spent the first 15 years of his life yelling at all his lungs, him and his dad. meets the Smiths Grove bus on the side of the road, the inmates wandering around like they did in that store in the original when Loomis and Marion Chambers found them released from the sanatorium.

Kevin's dad goes out to see what's going on while Kevin calls the cop, but when his dad doesn't come back, Kevin grabs his hunting rifle and checks things out for himself, finding a guard or a cop or someone on the side of the road. and for some reason he keeps his gun pointed at him like the guys an 8- A bit of a jock trying to fly off screen, the guy isn't dead when Kevin finds them, but he seems to have bit the dust when we talk with a long shot, so I'm okay with starting the

count

with our first kill up to 30.

Minutes into the movie, Kevin approaches the bus looking for his father, but instead he just shows more shitty gun training, runs away from the crime scene, the damn boy who raised you, when he gets back into his truck to get out of there, Michael stops him by standing up. from the back seat and grabbing him by the neck, you would expect this kid to live because of his age, but now his son Michael Myers is not playing 40 years later and kills the cabin by breaking his neck against the window of the car he had, Dude, they killed the kid, although to be fair, this series already did that in the winning season, as Kevin managed to call the police before his untimely death.

Deputy Frank Hawkins appears on the scene to reveal another pair of bodies to add to the town's no. No need to add this body in the background because it turns out it's Kevin, just compare the clothes, it's clearly the same outfit, however we can add this cop that Hawkins sees on the side of the road and before we start, I don't think be the same guy that Kevin found, just compare where the two bodies are, they are on separate sides of the bus, they are also in different positions and I don't think the cop that Kevin found had enough life left to crawl that far.

In its original location, we get another body to add to the tally when Hawkins finds Kevin's father against the side of the bus, his neck broken so badly it almost looks like there are a few extra vertebrae whenHawkins checks the bus for more bodies. he finds dr. Sartain, who serves, Kevin shot me and tells Hawkins that Michael Myers escaped. The next day on Halloween, the podcasting duo heads to Hatton Field Cemetery to see Judith Myers' grave where Erin describes her death in such detail that it evokes flashbacks of the original here, this time we get another great commentary on how some True crime podcasters seem to have fun with the gory descriptions of the victims they're covering, it's a little disturbing, and talk of Michaels is disturbing there in the background. watching them the whole time, in fact, after they stopped at a gas station where I think Dana said she needed to throw a damn, we almost immediately see that Michael followed them there too walking in broad daylight, fucking want it or not.

Dana heads to the bathroom and a shot that makes this gas station look a lot like the one in part four, the one connected to that Lincoln diner shrine where Dr. Loomis met Michael again and after Dana finds a suitable position for his poop, Caston, hears Michael enter. the bathroom that evokes that scene in Halloween h2o where he stole that young mother's car keys in a bathroom. This movie has franchise references everywhere as Dana is more afraid of the man outside his booth. Aaron peeks at the gas station attendant and finds that he was killed on the job, his jaw broken and his teeth knocked out in a twisted, off-screen death. this movie is actually full of that.

It's great. Aaron then returns to the garage of this gas station and finds the body of a stripped mechanic. from his clothes, we actually saw this mechanic getting killed in the background a minute ago when Dana was asking where the bathroom was, but I'll put him on the list now that we know he was confirmed dead in the bathroom. Michael gives Dana a gift. About $35 in Tooth Fairy box score, he chases her under her stalls in a scene that is both suspenseful and an unpleasant day until Erin rushes to the bathroom to save her. Michael responds by grabbing Aaron and completely beating him senseless, slamming his head into the wall and then.

The cubicle door is often very violent and although we see Aaron clinging to life, the last shot of him shows his eyes closing, so I'll add him to the list if he returns in the sequel. Bite My Head This guy's wounds seem like pretty fatal speed, as for Dana it's confirmed that she was killed just off-screen after Michael picks her up by her throat and snaps her neck with a nasty crotch. Oh no, with these two Debs, our audience will have to choose. to listen to the other 5,000 true crime podcasts, what a bummer he kills warm-up, Michael takes his mask out of Erin and Dana's trunk and adapts to his final evolved form.

Mike Myers is back, baby, and he's gone. He's here to be anyone's love guru. After Laurie finds out about Michael's escape from the prison bus in a news report, he heads to his daughter Karen's house so they can conduct a fire drill or family understands you, you're dead even though he warns them about Michaels bus accident they're more worried about the crazy woman waving a gun in their house, so Karen offers her to the door and tells him: take a good look at your daughter Laurie because that's the last time you'll see me for a while on Halloween night. comes and with it, trick or treating, as well as a direct reference to a scene from the original Halloween: the same costume, the same shoulder-mounted radio, and a similar abrasive sound cue that omage leads to my absolute favorite fucking scene in this movie that contains a Few more references to Halloween to remember when Michael started that first sequel by stealing a knife from Mr. and Mrs.

Elrod, after she asked a very important sandwich question, what should that seam be like? Housewife apparently named Gina Panchala making a sandwich in Elrod Ian's kitchen before Michael walks in on her and murders her. Off-screen, you hear him hit her at least six times with that hammer and we see her body momentarily after the gunshot continues through the kitchen. Michael trades his hammer for a much more convenient kitchen knife and then walks through this woman's house, thankfully ignoring the crying baby in the living room. Oh hello, I guess that's where the line is drawn. Hoarse teenager, it's okay to kill the crying baby too much, even for Michael.

He walks out the door of his house and heads towards the sidewalk, the camera still follows him without a single cut, but the shot continues as he scares a couple of nurses and doctors who are preparing to go to a costume party and then, When he goes out onto a porch, he finds himself. another victim with a classic sound cue with the gunshots still rolling, y'all, the camera holds its position as we watch Michael walk around the side of the house. It's a perfect suspenseful scene and we don't break the tension until we see Michael. He enters the house and murders this woman apparently named Andrea Wagner by stabbing her in the back of the head.

The CGT knife certainly looks a little weird, but that's what they had to do to make sure a shot went off without a hitch. It's worth it. It's at the high school's Halloween party, where a DJ with a Frankenstein-themed table spins a strange pop song icon. Alison and Cameron are having fun dressed as nice and easygoing when she gets a call from Vicki, who is babysitting a little boy. named Julian Mickey wants Alison to come hang out with his hand honestly Alison you should do it just so you can chill with Julian that kid is so funny obviously the scene is just here for humor relief but it works man , I love the back and forth. between Virginia Gardner and Jibreel nan Tambu, a first-time child actor who apparently improvised most of his dialogue, some other kind of babysitter, she'd be reading me a story, I wouldn't be cooking my nasty toenails, plus they have a really sweet babysitter. relationship with baby town and isn't that what this whole damn franchise was founded on?

Dave shows up at Julian's house as a farmer and rides a wooden horse named after Laurie Strode aka in h2o this is Taylor hi he's there to get it. a key with Vickie, but before they can get clingy, Julian interrupts them by complaining that there's a boogeyman in his closet. Vickie goes to put Julian to bed, but when he asks her to make sure the closet door is closed, she struggles to comply with his request. because there is actually a boogeyman inside and after Michael cuts Vickie on the floor, Julian gtfo Vickie amazingly hits Michael with a chair and then tries to escape, but she puts on her socks, those are socks, man, I would have I preferred to see her endure.

More of a proper fight or chase scene, but maybe I'm just being picky on Vicki. Michael quickly kills her with a couple of stabs with a kitchen knife in the back and then closes the bedroom door like for stoner Dave, to her credit even after her. Julian tells him to run, grabs a knife and goes to defend his girlfriend. Hawkins receives a police report about the incident and Laurie also picks it up on a scanner in her truck while Hawkins investigates Julian's house. Laurie comes outside and tells the kids to wear the three Halloween masks to get out of there and go home, but maybe they won't see any TV commercials when they get there, okay kids, under the sheet, the ghost Hawkins finds Vicki's body and if that seems too decorative for Michael Myers, don't forget it. he placed Annie in front of her sister's tombstone in the original.

He's not Jason or anything, but he's always had a little creative streak when it comes to outdoor corpse decorating. Laurie sees Hawkins through a window of the house and then Michael and another. the first time she sees him in his mask in four decades for this shot Michael Myers was played by Nick Castle, the man who originally donned the mask in 1978. He was also a very nice guy when I met him in person. Maurice shoots what ends. I'm just Meera Myers, so Michael is able to leave the house completely unscathed when Hawkins comes down the stairs after him.

Michael is gone, but he finds Dave's body pinned against the wall with a knife in his back again, another pretty decent off-screen one. kill and this one even has a time stamp on it Laurie shoots Michael in her shoulder but he still manages to escape from her Hawkins catches up with Laurie and they talk to each other in a very familiar way, so at first I assumed it was one of them . from her ex-husband, but unfortunately it turns out that is not the case. However, he is the cop who caught Michael after he was shot from that balcony 40 years ago in this timeline after Michael disappeared from the ground scaring the sanity of dr.

Loomis was apparently captured moments later by none other than Frank Hawkins, who also prevented Dr. Loomis avoids killing Mikey and my tough look and Sheriff Barker arrives with Dr. Sartain, but unfortunately Sheriff Barker isn't a bigger character in this movie and instead we're about to be stuck with Sartain for a while. Sartain sees Laurie and her fans over his laid-back tough guy. You should know that Miss Curtis doesn't like that kind of thing. Hell, after meeting him, she refers to him as the new Loomis, even though she personally prefers the much shorter Numis. All this time, Allison's time at the high school dance has been a total disaster since she caught the camera and made out with a kitten named Kim, between that and everything.

Allison is done with the bootleg alcohol she's been drinking, but goodbye to him, girl, this guy is the kind of jerk who will throw her phone at an unhealthy party, nacho cheese, fuck that guy. Allison and Oscar leave together and on the way home we. you come across a point of discomfort Peace, there is a great position by Sheila Priya, you are the nicest girl in school, huh, and if someone doesn't appreciate that your crazy, thank you, it's very sweet, oh no, we've all seen this relationship before and In the end, no one seems to win.

Hawkins and Numis are searching for Michael Myers and during their friends' conversation on the trip we see how fucking obsessed Sartain is with the silent serial killer. I want to know what he feels. I want to know what pleasure he has. He comes out of killing so he wants to capture Michael alive, but Hawkins is not looking to repeat the same mistake he made in 1978 when he let Michael live while Laurie and a police escort arrive at Karen's house and tell her that it is Mima's bunker. time, so they fruitlessly call Alison's submerged cell phone and leave voicemails calling Lori's classic lines.

Don't do what I tell you right now. Alison is taking a shortcut home with Oscar, who's crush on her explodes as awkwardly as we all feared what he did. mm-hmm you deserve better oh boy you just hate to see that happen at least he stops when she tells him he's not a bum he goes into too much detail while apologizing to her all these girls were like dancing on me, their beautiful bodies. He pushes me out, leaves him in this backyard that has motion sensor lights and when Michael appears behind Oscar, the horny kid mistakes him for the owner of the yard, Mr.

Elrod, which yes, is a reference to the Halloween sandwich couple: Oscar pours his heart out to the emotionless figure in some backyard therapy. You ever really liked a girl and you can have her. You have no idea. Oscar, we get along very well. -Scene built using the motion sensor lights that keep going off due to Michael's ever-closer stillness and that builds nicely into a solid scare. Oscar runs out but is stopped by the door, so Allison turns around in response to his screaming that it's too late, Michael stabs Oscar in the back, who then falls and receives a spear-tipped pole in the back. chin.

We get a better look at the disgusting carnage after Allyson arrives and finds her damn body, that's the franchise's newest heroine and Michael fucking Myers. I finally meet face to face for the first time and, holy shit, there's an incredible piece of music to accompany the pivotal moment. Tamm, it's great to have Carpenter back as one of the composers and to hear and do new things for the series, just a little Background Another of the composers on the film was John, son of Cody Carpenter, and that incredible noise in this piece was achieved by running a bow across the guitar, as seen here performed by the film's third composer, Daniel Davies, son of Dave Davies and nephew of Ray.

Davies, the one with the perverts, Alison runs away and knocks on a neighbor's window asking for help and we get a nice reversal of the same situation from the original in that movie. Laurie's pleas for help were met with indifference and the neighbor turned off the porch light, but this Alison finds a good Samaritan who turns on the report light and then sits with her while they wait for Hawkins to arrive. Oh, that really warms my heart. ThoseNeighbors were good people. Hawkins is there to take Alison to her grandmother's house, where Laurie Caryn and Ray is already waiting because Laurie's house ended up, let's say it's the police station, because Laurie's house caresses is a damn fortress, even He has a hidden ladder under his kitchen island that leads to a bunker full of food and water, oh, and he has lots and lots of weapons, what? what you're trying to do down there Laurie open your own Walmart Hawkins finds Michael walking down the street and runs him over with this police vehicle and I know what you're thinking this is one of those Ben Tramer mistaken identity situations, the truth never happens man , but no, it turns out that he is actually Michael Mayer, the real Dr.

Sartain tends to him and tells Hawking that he is dead, but guess what? So our Taine is a fucking liar because he actually wants to keep Michael alive so much that he pulls out a knife and stabs Hawkins in the neck. Damn, Sartain gets Hawkins to the ground while Allison watches helplessly from inside the car and the crazed doctor kills the officer with a couple of stab wounds We've been bleeding from the neck Mr. Hawk, when I first saw this movie I was horrified to see this twist unfold. and my confidence in it wasn't restored at all when Sartain appeared in Allison's sight wearing that holy shit Shatner Mass that looks silly, but luckily his game of dress-up only lasts as long as it takes him to carry Michael's unconscious body into the back seat.

With Allison, after all, I can't really drive with a mask like that. I'm going to live with the Sartain thing partly because this is where Sartain admits to being responsible for the bus accident that freed Michael in the first place, that works for me, but it still seems like a pretty cheap mechanic to get Michael's house from Laurie since I guess our team will take him there for a meeting. I honestly don't know, this guy is crazy and very disrespectful to dead bodies. The entrance to Laurie's property is currently guarded by Officers Francis and Richer, a pair of cops who are another source of comic relief.

Once again, it works for me. I find their conversation very natural and fun as they talk about what they are packing for dinner. Fresh brownie. OK. Homemade chocolate brownie that I made. That's what a five-year-old would eat if he could make his own lunch. In fact, I was very surprised to learn that these two actors were not comedians or UCB improvisers or anything like that played by Officer Richards. Charlie Benton in his only credited role since his actual job is a special victims police detective. He served as a law enforcement technical advisor on this film and somehow ended up looking like this very funny role and Officer Francis is played by none other than Christopher Nelson. artist who made Michael's mask and who won the Academy Award for makeup effects for his work on Suicide Squad.

It was amazing to know that these two non-actors managed to be really funny, much better than the last time this franchise tried to have a pair of comedians. the cops clean up nothing, nothing underneath, never forget those stupid clown noises on their way to Lori's house. Allison goes arcane to stop by saying that Michael talked to her and she can tell him what he said again since everyone in this movie is obsessed with that shit for Some Reason It Works and stops Hawkins' car right at the end of the street by Francis and Richards. Michael wakes up and Rheem wonders and then kicks Sartain through the caged police cars while Richards tries to plug Hawkins into his radio.

Michael pulls the Doctor out of the vehicle and Allison takes the opportunity to flee into the woods from the ground. Sartain looks at Michael and makes one last request. He say something, how he will almost see. I had a great idea for this moment when we first reviewed this movie and then Michael, it would have been the best movie of the 90s if it was a real thing Michael doesn't say anything, he just smashes the pans head like a pumpkin, got Michael, you got beat your patented nod with that Allison flees as Richards and Francis show up and, although they find the remains of Frying Pans' body, they don't see Michael as he's after them from inside Laurie's house.

Ray sees the police car stopped and goes out to greet the police, but when he gets to the patrol car he finds him. Instead, they're dead inside, these are probably the best off-screen deaths in this movie, as Richards has a Sartain knife lodged in his head and Francis is a pumpkin stick that, along with the opening credits, Why do not you do it? Ray barely has time to piss himself before backing up to Michael Myers, who is waiting for him with a wind chime chain which he uses to take down the poor patriarch. It takes a little while, but Michael finishes the job with a quick snap of his neck.

Ray. Homeboy, will we ever tell this to little Pete Laurie hears the commotion and goes downstairs with a gun to see a teacher Michael standing in his front yard, he closes the door and sends Karen to the basement, but after Does she stupidly approach the door? Michael fights his way through and almost ends this epic showdown before he even begins. Laurie saves herself and prolongs the titular fight by shooting off a couple of Mikey's fingers with her shotgun and shooting out his eardrums just when you know he's about to hear something after that. They go to the basement with Karen and turn on all the light bulbs while Michael walks through the holes in the ni.

Laurie tries to wallhack and shoot Michael through the floor he's standing on but apparently it doesn't hit him so all he has now is a hole in his floor in a blown position, head upstairs to finish this grudge 40 years old and the film once again nods to the original by making him suspect that Michaels is in a closet with slatted wooden doors, but he does not find him. there between the clothes and the vacuum cleaner, so she methodically goes through and cleans each room in her house, one by one, closing each one behind her with a running system while she's installed, while Alison runs over a river of blood and through the forest to get to Grandma's house, but when she leaves the tree line we end up with a very exaggerated scene in which she is scared by the mannequin man.

I hate the scene, what are they doing with this? I prefer my horror mannequins to have a silent, unsettling presence. them as they do in an upstairs room where Laurie searches for Michael after finding Ray's body stuffed on a closet shelf like so many Christmas decorations, she actually encounters Michael, who attacks her in the second round of this rivalry during this fight that he really handles. to stab her and then throw her off the balcony in a reverse situation from the original Halloween ending, but after Michael gets a good look at her body, Alison enters the front door and calls for Laurie, distracting Michael long enough for Laurie to emulate her. . her famous disappearance from the original dun-dun-dun, Elsa joins her mother in the bunker where the two are hiding among the food reserves, but since the truck had fired from there before, Michael knows where they are hiding, so He starts smashing the kitchen island with his crazy, terrifying strength while he huffs and puffs.

Karin passing sees a gun with her name on it with at least her initials, so he grabs it and takes a defensive position at the bottom of the stairs. Michael finally breaks the island, but no. It doesn't show right away so it's up to Karin to take it out with a display of tears and fear, damn it Karin don't fuck around and for that matter neither does the truck, happy Halloween Michael yeah like any good showdown , this one has a third part. So Michael Myers and Laurie Strode take turns punching each other one last time she knocks him into the bunker and helps Alison escape to the kitchen, but when Karen goes to follow Michael she gets up and grabs the lady in the middle strobe , Laurie tells her granddaughter. run, but Alison wants to earn her place among the pantheon of striding women, or as Jamie Lee Curtis calls them holy women, grabs a knife from the ground and uses it to stab Michael in the shoulder and cut his hand until that he lets his mom go, then it's just a kick in the face and a pull of a lever and Michael Myers is trapped in the basement by some terrifying spikes.

Gas begins pumping into the house and Karen tells Alison that the bunker is actually a trap for Michael. all locked up with nowhere to go, so all he can do is stand there and watch Laurie impassively as she lights a flare and throws it into the basement, the gas catches fire and Michael still doesn't move even when the explosions occur. . and the flames spread around him Laurie and his lineage leave as his fortress burns mannequins monitors houses Mini Myers and all, but I'm not going to put Michael Myers in the killer cow because, as these empty shots of the basement show, he never We'll get to see a body and you know that son of a bitch always comes back for more.

Also, during the credits you can hear him breathing, which was also played by Nick Castle. The film ends with three generations of incredible survivors flagging down a Texas truck and chainsaw like a shot. That shows Alison still holding that bloody knife. Frozen image. How many kills did Michael Myers get in this latest and greatest Halloween sequel? Let's find out and get to the numbers. I counted 18 deaths on Halloween 2018, putting it near the middle of this franchise. For the number of victims, those victims were listed only for women on 14 News and among those 14 guys was a child, so you know, factor that in however you want with the wrong time of 106 minutes, which equals one death on average every five point eight. nine minutes golden chainsaw four cool kills are for dr.
