Halloween Kills
I liked the gore and the kills, and the overall aesthetic was on point. But the horrendous script absolutely ruined the movie.
For starters it's stuffed with characters I don't care about. Those I do care about (i.e. <PERSON>) are given absolutely nothing to do. Then it devolves into an extended subplot in the hospital that felt yanked from a different movie. 965
Why was I supposed to care about the mistaken identity of the mental patient? For the sake of some half baked message against mob rule?
On top of all this we have dialog seemingly written by a toddler. Every single line sounded like a sound bite from a trailer. Just awful.
Every step of the way I was asking myself why the script was doing what it was doing. I never came to any answers. A disappointing mess. 522
