Review: ‘Halloween Kills’ Starring Jamie Lee Curtis

By

John Carpenter launched one of the most successful horror franchises, Halloween, back in 1978. In 2018 Danny McBride and David Gordon Green convinced franchise star Jamie Lee Curtis to reprise her role of Laurie Strode, now a grandmother and recovering alcoholic, to go up against the masked serial killer Michael Myers again in a direct sequel to the first film. Now comes the direct sequel to that film, Halloween Kills, with Laurie Strode once again up against the iconic horror villain.

Halloween Kills begins immediately after the end of 2018’s Halloween, with Laurie, her daughter Karen (Judy Greer), and her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) headed to the hospital after their intense fight with Michael Myers who they believe was left locked in the basement of Laurie’s home to burn to death. But the Halloween franchise loves to remind us you can’t kill the Boogeyman, a warning first issued by little Tommy Doyle near the end of the original 1978 film. So, of course, Michael not only escapes but also manages to slaughter multiple firefighters in the process.

Meanwhile, news breaks about the murders in town and grown-up Tommy Doyle (Anthony Michael Hall) quickly realizes it must be Michael Myers. Almost immediately Tommy rounds up his friends, as well as the townspeople of Haddonfield, convinced it’s up to them to stop Michael Myers. After all, the authorities have let them down time and again. “Evil dies tonight,” declares Tommy – a sentiment that becomes a running chant among the townspeople who form a large vigilante mob dedicated to killing the masked murderer.

While all this is going on, Laurie’s at the hospital recovering from her wounds when she learns Michael Myers is alive and continuing his killing spree. Laurie prepares herself, fighting through the pain of recovery to get ready to do battle with Michael Myers yet again while Allyson joins the vengeful mob to hunt down Michael and end his reign of terror once and for all.

Halloween Kills is a dark, gory, and gruesome horror movie that’s an inferior sequel. What’s it missing? Suspense, tension, and spine-tingling scares. It’s a mindless, bloodthirsty film with one-dimensional characters who only exist to add to the body count. Halloween Kills is a complete misfire that wastes the talents of Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer, and Anthony Michael Hall.

One of the aspects of the film which could have proved interesting was bringing back the characters of Tommy Doyle and Lindsey Wallace (Kyle Richards), now all grown up and finding themselves hunting the Boogeyman that Laurie protected them from as kids in the original ’78 film. It’s a shame the script wastes this idea by turning Tommy into a cardboard cutout version of a vigilante constantly chanting, “Evil dies tonight!”

Lindsey doesn’t fare any better and is shown running around telling children to go home until she ends up being hunted by Michael Myers. It’s a true waste of an original idea.

The writing is dreadful, the dialogue is pedestrian, and unlike the original film, Halloween Kills is one-note, only interested in racking up a very large kill count.

Halloween Kills is a soulless, scareless, and sadistic sequel that isn’t close to being in the same league as John Carpenter’s original horror/slasher classic.

Among the many teasers and official trailers debuting during the 2021 DC FanDome was the premiere of a teaser trailer for the much-anticipated Peacemaker series. HBO Max also used the fan-oriented event to confirm Peacemaker will premiere on Thursday, January 13, 2022.

John Cena’s reprising his role as the titular character he first portrayed in The Suicide Squad. The series reunites Cena with his Suicide Squad director James Gunn, with Gunn writing, directing, and executive producing. Gunn penned all eight episodes and directed the first episode plus four additional episodes.

John Cena’s joined by Danielle Brooks as Adebayo, Freddie Stroma as Vigilante, Jennifer Holland as Harcourt, Steve Agee as Economos, Chukwudi Iwuji as Murn, and Robert Patrick as Auggie Smith. Peter Safran and Matt Miller served as executive producers, and series star Cena co-executive produced. The series is produced by James Gunn’s Troll Court Entertainment and The Safran Company in association with Warner Bros. Television.

Based on the DC character, Peacemaker is described as “a compellingly vainglorious man who believes in peace at any cost, no matter how many people he has to kill to get it.”

“Peacemaker is an opportunity to delve into current world issues through the lens of this superhero/supervillain/and world’s biggest douchebag,” said Gunn. “I’m excited to expand The Suicide Squad and bring this character from the DC film universe to the full breadth of a series. And of course, to be able to work again with John, Peter, and my friends at Warner Bros. is the icing on the cake.”

Guest star Sara Powell said being part of Doctor Who was on her wish list. “Working with Jodie Whittaker – an iconic Doctor and actor – was also on my list. She was a legend. As were the cast and crew: indoors, outdoors, in winter, in Wales in the rain and mud, everyone wearing masks and being tested every 5 minutes: I loved stepping onto their ship and riding with them for a while,” said Powell.

“Doctor Who was a total joy to work on. Everyone was so welcoming and generous that I really felt part of the team,” said Penelope McGhie. “Having watched the show from behind the sofa over fifty years ago, and then again with our daughter when the series was revived, I can’t believe how lucky I am to be part of the adventure!”

Meanwhile, Jessi’s lovebug, SONYA (Adlon), appears as Jessi gets closer with Ali and eventually wonders if she loves her as more than a friend. Jessi and Ali’s new close bond, and joint co-opting of Missy’s affinity group, sends Missy into her own hate spiral, fueled by hate worm ROCHELLE (Palmer). Jealousy, unrequited love, and newfound crushes abound in this new form-breaking season as the Big Mouth teens navigate 8th grade.
