If you decide to go to the cinema, despite the previous films about Michael Myers, then in vain. Without 'Halloween' 1978 and 2018, some aspects may be incomprehensible.
The picture begins in about the same place where its predecessor ended. Michael Myers is the most alive of all living, and he is going to kill as many people as possible, despite all the colossal efforts of the main characters and, in particular, Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis). They don't think to give up, but Myers is absolutely indestructible. This, of course, worries the whole city.
That's about him and 'Halloween kills'. If Green's first work explored the family and its ability to rally in difficult times, the sequel examines the actions of the crowd in emergency situations. He relishes all this chaotic mood that grips the people during the investigation of a terrible series of murders.
The film is definitely much more dynamic than the previous tape. In many ways, this was achieved due to the fact that Green does not have to bring the viewer up to date. We can say that he decided to make not just a trilogy (the last film of the new series will be released next Halloween), but the largest thing by the standards of a classic slasher.
Yes, this is still a story about impassable dumb characters trying in vain to defeat a maniac. But in some magical way, watching their adventures is more than exciting.
The balance in the script was finally brought to mind: the frightening fragments contrast very nicely with other raised topics in the film: the nature of evil, the value of friendship and family, the ability to remain calm even in the most hopeless situations.
In 'Halloween kills' there is much more of a real movie than just another brainless slasher, staged just for the sake of spectacle. This is endlessly happy, because 'Halloween' is the most classic film of its kind. Green offers not only a game with established canons, but a full-fledged thriller. Even if not perfect, but made with taste and great love for the original.
