Review 4K Movie

It's safe to say that thanks to the efforts of director David Gordon Green, comedian Danny McBride as screenwriter, and acclaimed producer Jason Bloom, the iconic slasher franchise Halloween got a more than decent rebirth in 2018. So much so that critics and audiences were pleased, and the slasher genre was given new life. Not surprisingly, plans were immediately announced to create a trilogy with a through plot, the final part of which was this film. Was the "farewell" to the cult franchise successful? Let's look into it.

Events of the tape unfold four years after the events of the previous tape. Michael Myers disappeared without a trace. Laurie Stode, after the death of her daughter, lives with her granddaughter Alison and tries to come to terms with the traumatic memories by writing a book. One day she meets a guy named Corey, who has accidentally killed a child for several years and has been attacked by locals ever since and sets him up with Allison. Without even realizing what consequences this will lead to.

I think many would agree that one of the main shortcomings of this film is the script. One can see with the naked eye, how difficult it is for the authors of this film to "suck the events out of thin air". All this is reflected in a very uneven script, the abundance of inconsistencies with previous parts in terms of behavior and characters, and ending with an impressive number of previously hanged "Chekhov guns", which "never fired". On the latter is built perhaps the main flaw of the script. The finale of the first film laid a strong groundwork for the idea of the "reincarnation of evil" in another body. The finale of the second part transformed Michael Myers from an ordinary maniac into the very essence of evil (as Carpenter positioned him in the original film). In each new installment, however, the filmmakers throw out potentially cool ideas and take the story in a completely different direction. This film suffered from this as well.

Laurie Stode went from being some kind of Sarah Connor (which she was in the previous two parts) to a regular depressive granny. Michael Myers went from an unkillable evil being to a barely mobile old man in a mask (not to mention the modest amount of screen time and the fact that he first appears after almost 40 minutes of screen time) and even the cool idea from the previous part with the evil and violence in the souls of the town is gone completely without any further development. Most of all, however, it was Corey, who had enormous potential to unfold both as a tragic character and as a *spoiler*. But neither got a decent incarnation. Stopping the character's reveal "halfway through."

In one of his last interviews, David Gordon Green admitted that he was reworking the ending even 10 days before the scheduled premiere. While watching this film, you can fully believe it. The picture turned out to be very dull, dragged out and frankly weak. As such, the "action" begins after almost an hour of screen time, the dynamics of the narration is very uneven and there are very few murders on the screen. Coming down to the fact that it is the final action sequence with Laurie and Michael's confrontation that may be called the best thing in this movie and that may be worth watching the movie for in principle.

However, whatever complaints you may have about the characters in the script, you should give credit to Jamie Lee Curtis, Andy Matichak and Rowan Campbell who did their best and tried to draw out their "problematic" characters just by acting.
