hi this is David and this is Joe and today we're gonna review Halloween is it
Halloween yet no no that's next week but this previous
week we've have pre Halloween yes and that's what this movie felt like not
quite hot wind but pre-halloween nebulas it's okay some people got stabbed you
know it's a good time yeah so this Halloween Halloween - oh but not
Halloween - but it's the second Halloween but it's still called
Halloween but it's not the old Halloween that came out in the 70s yeah it's new
it's definitely not the second one to come out no there's been lots so this
movie ignores every other movie except for Halloween the first one the one with
Jamie Lee Curtis and that's it so if you haven't watched any of the other ones I
mean even if you haven't watched any of them at all it really doesn't matter
you get no you don't need to know here's the gist of it in here it's a Michael
Myers guy in a mask and he he's back yeah like it's just your typical slasher
movie it's everything you'd expect nothing really shocking yeah I mean he
goes he kills people if you don't look at him he fucking teleports like every
other slasher yeah I think people really need to figure that out that's their
superpower that's the only power they have yeah I mean they can't die but how
they get away is if you're not looking at them they can teleport yeah this is
what I'm assuming from watching these movies this is totally what they're
doing Michael Myers and Jason they both have the same power yeah I mean Freddy
can but he has a lot of other oh and the Texas Chainsaw guy will run straight at
you and yeah he'll catch you by running these people will was teleported
they tell ya so this takes place about 40 years after the first Halloween Jamie
Lee Curtis this character is a little scarred by what happened to her Michael
Myers tried to kill her in the first movie mm-hmm got her friends but not her
she got away but his paranoid now now she is setting up her kids and you
know for her life she's telling them the boogeyman is real she believes in that
wholeheartedly not just a killer the boogeyman
no he's out there he exists and you need to be prepared your whole life I think
and you have to think like with the premise of the movie even in just the
beginning did she already lose like if you spend your entire life locked in a
cage like that you put yourself in yeah I mean you might as well just died right
I mean yes and I think that's kind of like it's kind of a good thing kind of
not cuz then you really see like you're like I mean this guy succeeded even
though he didn't he didn't kill her but her whole life had been dedicated to
this and you're like so this dude has an effect on people yes yeah not just a
physical one but I did apparently a mental one on her but that's kind of
where my interest I mean it's interesting and Jamie Lee Curtis is
character is good I think in her acting is good but she you know she prepares
her whole life for this she's got tons of guns it says it in the trailer that
she wants him to come out she's like I hope he breaks free cuz
then I'm going after him yeah it kind of does but yeah I mean that part like the
way they marketed it you would think there would be more interactions between
them to like I don't know some more back-and-forth action but but there's
not as much as you would think there would be but for me this movie started
off really slow and I mean even the the intro scene leaves you kind of laughing
yeah I guess like it's it's a little corny but I mean you know what you're
getting with these kind of movies yeah and the director it's not a horror movie
director he hasn't done horror in the past he's done like comedies and stuff
they're also Danny McBride helps with this yeah
and I was like I saw that and I really like Danny McBride ooh - I fucking love
him as a comedian but and working on a horror movie and yeah I was kind of like
oh man I hope they don't try to make it too funny yeah this movie I think the
comedy should have ended when Michael Myers is on the streets no I think like
you can do comedy with the teenager or even if you want to take breaks and do
comedy it's the teenagers by themselves who
should be making the last yeah and it doesn't even have to be completely funny
but it's you know them being teenagers but I think when Michael Myers is on the
scene and there to whoop ass without to tell you it should all stop yeah fucking
Michael Myers time yeah let's get serious
yeah but they don't always do that in this one and it hurts the movie a little
bit yeah The Kills I don't know I felt like there were a
little underwhelming yeah I think first slasher movie you usually like waiting
for oh man's what some really gory or exciting or yeah creative they eat way
to kill people take a few ways that he kills people out of previous movies and
when he doesn't kill that many people know you're like okay well what where's
the originality I mean you know some of these are taken from the older films and
since he doesn't tell them any people yeah it's like half of your material is
from the older movies and I get some of them are throw backs but yeah maybe
shouldn't rely on them but I mean that being said like it was still it was dope
okay yeah you know I mean Mike this movie wasn't bad and you're most likely
gonna already go see it this movie is one of those movies that I think no
matter what people think about it they're gonna go see it I feel like the
horror genre in general yeah they have that benefit oh it's a scary movie it's
Halloween yeah fuck I'm gonna go see a scary movie
right yeah but um yeah so I mean let's be real if you want to see scary but
you're probably gonna see it although I would probably wait and try to see
Suspiria spiral yeah there's one coming out it sounds really good it sounds like
another hereditary kind of style thing but right whatever but you're gonna see
this yeah it's likely and when you do just keep in mind that don't you know
don't go into this movie with extremely high expectations don't expect something
new or like groundbreaking for the genre yeah I think this plays it by the
numbers it almost is exactly like the first movie in a lot of ways even some
of the cinematography yeah so I mean if you like Halloween I mean you're gonna
like this movie know death if you're a fan of Halloween I think I think it
ranks pretty utley it's definitely not the best Halloween no I'll say that much
I like the Rob Zombie version rendition when he did I thought that was sick new
creative yeah it's kind of a different take and I was looking for somebody to
try to take again like an original take on it like hey we're coming at it from
this angle now and have something interesting with the story store wasn't
all that great yeah this is a slasher film and people get slashed so yeah I
think they could have done more and I would have liked them to do more with
Jamie Lee Curtis his character Laurie Strode and him since that's an
interesting take for me I mean you know it's
she's been scarred by this her whole life preparing for him to get out
yeah and he's out like that I don't I feel like I thought it I should have
felt more yeah like he gets out finally right I mean it's time to go on the hunt
yeah she should have out now that fucking game Tom let's go huh
and I think most of the movie for me should have been her in him battle in
and out like I think they they waste waste waste a lot of time with the
teenagers because yeah with Jamie Lee Curtis being much older it really
shouldn't be about the teenagers anymore yeah even though that's what you know
all the Halloween movies usually are yeah except for the one where they were
in the reality show and they had all adults but yeah for the most part you
know I know what they were going for yeah but the this whole story arc with
her granddaughter was pretty I want to say kind of lame well I could it didn't
really go anywhere that's like but time they spend with the granddaughter
took away from Jamie Lee Curtis a story the same with her actual daughter you
know the one in the middle
plays her but yeah she was good actress but she had such a small role
and was just in there for like little bits and pieces that I try to give you
some backstory with her as a kid and I don't think it hit home like they wanted
it to there's like a moment it's supposed to be really emotional of her
telling you know her backstory what happened but I kind of felt like okay
well I don't care yeah but I was like yeah punches just weren't landing like
yeah see what they're going for it just and even with some of the kills like we
talked about earlier with the comedy I think they do use comedy in the middle
of a tense moment and then it's ruined the tension is ruined for the rest of
the scene I'm simply gonna try to be Chris full theater laughs and it's funny
yeah sure I mean but not this one there's one particular time that you'll
notice when you go see it that there's a scene where there's a really funny
character and you start laughing any he is hella funny yeah but once the killing
happens it's like it's still funny like I'm still funny like haha
pay attention you're paying attention but you're like oh I mean what's
happening oh yeah you're still killing it yeah kind of in a giddy mood you
shouldn't be in that mood when there's a killer in your house or something like
usually this isn't really like they don't really go for that horror vibe and
even if they wanted to do the whole teenager thing which every horror movie
wants to do yeah having Jamie Lee Curtis is character there front and center that
would have made it better for me I feel like if he's going out to kill these
people in the cops are like look like maybe the cops don't need her help but
she wants to help like she constantly is like oh my god
he's killing Jamie Lee Curtis we need this guy you know crazy old lady in the
woods with Lily honey please help us like nobody like she's going after like
the cops are trying to keep failing but she is like hunting him down yeah
because that is what she wants to do she wants to hunt him down
yeah hunting down she doesn't do that no this don't hurt throw that
expectation out the window and she seems a little unprepared her whole thing is
being the maximum amount of being projected the last 34 years yeah for
nine years preparing she's been awaiting daylight bars on the windows
those bars on the front door waiting likely if you could just have like a
little peephole and fucking no big glass pieces in here tour yeah maybe that yeah
I don't have those in my front door I feel like I'm a little more prepared
actually another one thinking about it she did have a metal gate in front of
her door it's gone
not a huge spoiler I mean I guess but she's got a metal gate yeah she does a
metal gate in front of her door later in the movie
where's somebody who sticks their hand right through it so yeah whatever but um
but I feel like the movie should have focused on her and him I would that's
what I wanted when I went into this video I was like I want a hero villain
thing I want her to be the hero and she could be a hurt damaged hero whatever
kind of hero they wanted to be but I want him to be the villain and then when
they meet and stuff I wanted them to constantly like fight and I want it to
be intense in the emotion to be there constantly yeah and with the history
they had is fine and the history of the series I feel like it was a missed
opportunity yeah miss the opportunity I mean they
could have really this could have been better
yeah but there is things I like I like the music is fine the music is Halloween
you know of course they use the things they have to use and I like the way
Michael Myers looks I think it's the best he's ever looked pretty much I
think other than the first I mean it's not hard it's not a hard look to fuck up
they fucked it up his mask has looked really bad in the past and his mask I
thought was great I thought it looked damaged and like old like it shit oh
yeah and I mean his jumpsuit is jumpsuit but I thought the mask looked really
good and it wasn't - the hair wasn't too puffy or anything thought it was cool
you know I thought the house gonna say his performance the performances are
fine and pretty classic it's still a slasher movie so you know people like
just fucking just totally unaware and unprepared when there's a killer on the
loose yeah everybody's still like yeah and
then he comes when he kills people yeah this movie didn't give me a feeling
that's that that is that is correct it's John Carpenter right yeah yeah John
Carpenter directed Dylan he's so good I'm giving you a feeling and feel that
this eerie miss the whole movie huh any of the older ones you have to watch them
now and you're still you have that that eerie vibe yeah even though I like oh
this is old and cheesy yes still you're like you're home alone watching that you
still be like looking out the window like yeah is there somebody standing to
my heart my god man and then again with like the Rob Zombie one you know that
was the tone was dark and gritty and I had like a back story to where you feel
like oh shit you know it's kind of sad and sad and hope and horror they go
really well together because doesn't fuck up the tone but when you mix comedy
yeah liqueur cuz I even night renovation comes Rule two they've got a like
they've got a feeling that it gives you and they're still like I think at least
that's easier to do because Freddy Krueger could be kind of funny yeah you
know he can make jokes as he's killing people and still fuck that is almost
like in its fits his character so well that it's almost more creepy when he's
making a joke as he's killing this teenager and you're like because it's
not it's not the characters that are funny they ask the characters it's not
the the teenagers and the victims that are funny it's that killer who's funny
killer which is a totally different this that could be creepy yeah you're like I
don't want this guy to make not only he's killing me yeah killing them when
they sleep but he's so fucking happy about it yeah and let us have the I mean
the backer doesn't give a shit all the victims and all the characters who
aren't Michael Myers I mean they're I don't want to say they're chilling but
because like Jamie Lee Curtis has kind of bottled herself up away from society
yeah but the rest of the people are doing fine like they're just happy
living their lives as chill until they get stabbed and then they die they don't
even know that they're really in danger they even make a fugitive the cops what
do they they say oh there's a killer on the loose and they're like like what we
gonna do cancel Halloween I mean and it's if the rest of the cast or the rest
of the characters had taken it seriously it wouldn't be so it wouldn't hurt the
movie as much yeah but because you're already kind of film like this
yeah yeah I mean don't take it seriously yeah whatever and so man yeah I feel
like we just really bagged on this move I know I wasn't trying to bag on this
movie okay yeah it was an okay movie yeah I went to
the theater and I wasn't super like oh I mean I watched the group of people in
okay like I think that's the feeling this is fine yeah this is fine it's
Halloween so you want something to go do you want to watch a slasher film sure go
watch this but you know don't watch it on Halloween
keep the expectations you know just bring them down a little that's all or
you know what I'll put your expectations in the ground and maybe you'll be maybe
you'll love it they make that happy shock you'd like damn this was a
pleasant surprise that was amazing but conclusion I think I think Michael
Myers was fine he was good he's you know it's a good guy but you
know overall I was disappointed because of what I wanted from this movie maybe I
shouldn't have won in anything and that maybe I should have just been like you
know what maybe Jamie Lee Curtis his character won't fucking matter and then
maybe I would have liked it more I see I went in with low expectations and there
hasn't been like a great slasher film in a while so I kind of went in there like
like I said low expectations and I was like yeah it was okay didn't blow me
away but it it was fine I've my rating and I feel like it's probably the same
so I would give it a three out of six yeah it's just it's not it's not a bad
movie it's not a great movie it's a it's a movie and it's a slasher movie yeah
take it was what it is yeah so let us know what you thought about it in the
comments maybe you loved it I mean if you're a huge horror slasher fan and
literally anything just gets yeah then you're most likely or maybe you're a
slasher snob and this will just didn't do it for you either way let us know
yeah let's not you feel talk to us all right
olan yeah so all in all I felt like you know Halloween was a pretty okay movie
and just you know let us know what you thought man what about you what did you
think yeah David I think I'd bout agree now maybe let's not be lizards all right
Joe let's not
