Return to Cinema (take two) 2021 - Halloween Kills

Halloween Kills is the sequel to 2018's Halloween. This is also the twelfth instalment in the Halloween franchise. 

Starring Jamie Lee Curtis and James Jude Courtney, who reprise their roles as Laurie Strode and Michael Myers. Judy Greer, Andi Matichak, and Will Patton also reprise their roles from the previous film.

The film, which begins precisely where the previous film ended, sees Strode and her family continuing to fend off Myers, this time with the help of the Haddonfield community.

The film has grossed over $97 million worldwide against a production budget of $20 million. It has also received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the creative kills and performances, but criticised its screenplay and lack of innovation.

A sequel (maybe the final Halloween film too?), Halloween Ends, is scheduled to be released on October 14, 2022.

The film had some serious WTF moments. Michael's ability to survive almost everything is a little over the top by the end of this film.

I can almost accept him surviving the fire at the end of the last film, however there is one scene in the film where you think, Michael is surely dead? Well, there is one more film to come right!

I enjoyed the first film, but this one felt a little forced. With it being Halloween, horror movies all the rage its not like there are many options to see at the movies if you don't like horror or Marvel.

Halloween Kills is a massive slasher, kill-a-thon but definitely unbelievable in so many ways.

I give this three stars for some serious tension building scares. It sure is nice though to be back at the cinema.
