"Fuck moving on, they dont even move outta town" This made my day 🤣🤣🤣

"Doctor Loomis rocks" you can say that again

Why was Laurie's Daughter Wearing a Christmas Sweater on Halloween!?? And what's even more Mind Boggling is How Much Praise this is Getting

Not only did Hawkins get stabbed in the neck repeatedly, but Sartain also ran over his body after stabbing him which makes Hawkins being alive even more ridiculous.

Turns out evil didn’t die that night

*SPOILERS!* I didn't want to spoil the ending in my review but it was ridiculous given that the town rose up against him and won and then they promptly got slaughtered. I was like WTF?! Love your rant/review.

They should have ended the franchise with H20! That film had the perfect ending to the series, with Laurie cutting Michael's head off!!! But oh no, Hollywood can never leave a good thing alone! Can they?

Halloween II (1981) kicks the shit out of this film, the only thing I liked about this one was John Carpenter's music, and most of the kills.

My biggest complaint was the Shakespearean bullshit dialogue that NOBODY would say like “Every time he kills, he transcends” and the countless “Evil dies tonight” nonsense. Only Loomis can get away with spouting off those type of sentences. I didn’t care much for H18 so I wasn’t expecting much. All I really care about was Michael and Michael was truly the star of the show and on that level, the movie definitely delivered.

Another instant classic rant. Donald Pleasance for the win! I miss Dr. Loomis.

"Donald Pleasance for the win" and "Doctor Loomis Rocks"

Halloween 1978, Halloween II and Halloween H20 is the canon trilogy. I'm happy with it.

I'm not even a fan of the halloween franchise, but still liked hearing you rant about the movie!

Donald Pleasence for the win🏆

When Matt says it sucks : it SUCKS. Luckily my friend saved me from seeing this one.

Halloween should’ve ended over 20 years ago, H20 was the perfect ending. Everything afterwards has been pointless, cash grabs and just beating a dead horse at this point. Nothing new is brought to the table in these new movies.

Your reaction at the start of review says it all lol. This is a straight up comedy film, during the mob scene there's a doctor chasing the mental patient punching people trying to get through the crowd lol.

Haha matt about to go off. We was all waiting for this one😂

Lol at the thumbnail and your expression. xD Shows you definitely hated this one for sure and that makes it all the better for the entertainment and comedy as usual. Great rant dude. Keep up with the awesome videos.

It's ironic that the music for this film would be so sub-par since it was produced by John Carpenter. 🎃

I am so glad you called out Jamie Lee Curtis. She has NO respect for her fans and will say anything to sell whatever trash they pay her too. I have never seen an actor contradict herself so much, and talk about the films like she hasn't even actually seen them. 10 years from now she will be saying Halloween 2018 was a paycheck if there is by chance a new Halloween that includes her in any way. Embarrassing.

Great review man, I'm glad you're not on the stupid bandwagon of people defending this piece of shit movie. People were hilariously arguing with me on a Facebook page today because I pointed out the flaws in their subpar, garbage heap of a film. Donald Pleasance FTW

Halloween Kills was empty calories. I'm sticking to the original. Evil dies tonight was dumb, Michael's kill of the elderly man and his wife was literally overkill. The guy was already dead, was it necessary to plunge butcher knives in his back.

Donald Plesence for the win and I agree 100 percent with this review

My issue wit this timeline is realistically nobody would dwell over something that happened 40 years ago. Tommy Doyle didn’t have a wife? A kid? Still dwelling over this 1 bad night 40 years ago? And Michael’s body count was very low. He was a random guy tht killed like 4 ppl.

Love your videos Matt. Your original review of Halloween (2018) got me into your channel. I remember it being the only video online that had the guts to call the movie out. Watch everything you’ve put out since. Incredible insight, hilarious commentary and an all around seeing if hanging out chatting about movies with a friend. - Eric

One look at the thumbnail and already this is gonna be good.

Funny you mention H20. I myself consider that film the FINAL ending of Halloween.

Just watched this movie. Regret paying the $5 it cost to rent it. I would’ve rather shredded up that $5, mix it into my own shit, and drink it as a smoothie

How did Michael get into the old couples house if the backdoor was locked? The bathroom window? How big are bathroom windows? Usually, they're not big enough for a man to get through. Ironically, everyone else's backdoors were left open in Halloween 2018... on a side note there were a lot of off screen kills in these last two movies. More than 6. In the original and Halloween 2 there were like 3 in total.

And myers always decorates his victims. We just dont see it in screen. This time we did. Name a halloween film where he doesn't decorate his kills

I've watched your whole review and I must say keep up the great work. I loved it as always.

The title "Halloween Kills" represents a misunderstanding of the Halloween films and Michael Myers character by everyone involved in this film. The Halloween movies were never about the kills. The Halloween movies are above average horror movies with atmosphere, John Carpenter music, great cinematography and characters that actually have arcs. I like Friday the 13th movies as fun, silly popcorn movies. Halloween is not Friday the 13th. You're right to expect more from this franchise, we all should.

Why Michael Myers kept stabbing the old dead guy? He was testing out knives to see which one he liked the best.

Nice rant! Glad I didn’t waste my time or money on it. Donald Pleasance for the win! 👍

The golden age of these movies will always be the first 4. To me.

I didn’t mind it as it was an improvement over 2018

My cousin brought up something to me that other reviewers don't even question, I didn't even question it. The fact that Michael RAN and charged at the cop in the flashback scene. This is the first time in decades, in Halloween history, that Michael was running. He has never done that until this one scene, and never does it again. How is no one questioning this.😂

Not to criticize anybody with this movie but I liked it so much I was entertained the whole time even though acting is off the case. But the kills by Michael and the flashbacks were awesome.

Watched til the end 😄 whenever i see you've done a rant about a film i also think is garbage, which is quite often, i always watch and always enjoy.

My brother and his friend fought with me, because they liked it and said awesome and I didn't like it. This was all pointless and worthless. Everything sucks.

All I was thinking when watching this movie was If I hear "Evil dies tonight." one more time I'm going to punch someone

The Halloween franchise should have ended decades ago!

I love this rant 😂

It's fine with me that you didn't like this one. But for whatever reason I found it to be entertaining when it comes to a pure slasher movie level and despite having issues with the writing and the ending, overall I liked a lot more of the film than I honestly thought I would. And I thought it did make an effort to try to put some new spins on some old concepts and ideas that were present in other films in the franchise. So this is one where we don't agree on when it comes to everything and that's fine. I respect your take on things just as much as I do anyone else's opinion on the movie whether it's good or bad. All of that being said, nice job with the rant as usual and despite liking the film, I did agree with you on a handful of the film's issues. The stuff with the escaped mental patient was just poorly handled and so was the ending which came across as really choppy. But even the worst aspects of this were better than the 2018 film to me. Because Kills at least tries harder to take the franchise into somewhat new territory.

I did love the references to the Original H1, Original H2, H3, H4, and H20🔪🎃♥️

I was seriously let down by HK. I didn’t love the premise of H18 but have grown to accept it as another alternate version. But this was a hot mess. If they want to ignore the other films after ‘78 then they should stop the callbacks to them. I don’t need fan service/callbacks in all my films, its become too much. Also, wasn’t sure but did you know evil dies tonight and it’s been 40 years!?! LOL. Keep ranting Matt love the channel 🎸🤘🏻👍🏻✌🏻made it to the end of the rant.

@45:03 - I believe that was supposed to be some sorta joke... like Michael's at a shopping mall, trying out different knives to see which one is better since there was an assortment of them available on the block. That's what I'm guessing.... but not entirely sure, like it was part of his humor / playful tactics when taking out his victims.

Another amazing rant. Donald for the the win

It seemed like they wanted to reference Halloween 1978, Halloween II, Halloween III, Halloween 4, and Halloween H20 so much to crame it into this one film.

right on every single point. and Yes, Dr. Loomis fucking rocks.

awesome review as always! Would you do a video talking about your childhood? Like happy or sad times, parents, etc?

When I see Epic Rant it's time to get me some snacks & watch Matt rip into another movie

And now David Gordon Green wants to do the Exorcist trilogy....come on. Do we really need this? Just watch 1 and 3 (especially 3 which is super underrated and my favourite). There are some tiny positives here and there in Kills but yeah, a filler with dumb decisions and characters. I hope we move on after Ends and focus on the anthology series, please. Let Busta Rhymes end Myers in the third film, I won't complain.

I still think the music from the original 1981 Halloween 2 was up there with the original movie. In fact the slow build up intro on the album soundtrack is even better than the first. IMO.

aw man, i got peanut butter ass juice in the eyes from watching halloween kills

FUCK HALLOWEEN Kills!!! Thanks for tearing this shit apart Halloween 2 (1981) is a masterpiece one of my personal favorites RIP to Mr. Donald Pleasence.

Thank you. I was so hopeful for this reboot but its such a shameless cash grab that I'm mad at Blumhouse, the writers and director for squandering this opportunity.

Your rant is epic man

Donald Pleasence FTW I enjoyed this movie but also looked forward and enjoyed this rant all the way through.

Worst one of the franchise, IMO. Characters were horrible especially the granddaughter with her defiant attitude and her valley girl delivery of "the boogie man is real". I agree, it had no point. If this is the 2nd act, the 3rd has no foundation to work off of. The throwback nostalgia characters were pointless (but I did like the 1978 segments) the escape psych ward guy committing suicide, just as pointless. The ambush scene was uncoordinated and choppy. I can't think of one part of this film that revealed anything new to me. They just need to give it up and move on. They are beating this franchise into the ground for a few bucks. Too many hands have been in the pot.

donald pleasance for the win

Should have kept Halloween 2 as cannon. Add at least 10 more kills to Michael total

oddly enough, the bromance between christian slater and stuart from mad TV might have been my favorite part of this particular half assed nostalgia fapfest.

I personally liked this film but I get your points Matt. I have to admit the fact that the town came together to try to get to Michael Myers, the idea an concept of that was at least interesting. The idea itself is very smart but the mob themselves as people, they were dumb. All people have to do is run away from Michael because he is big an slow and why do these idiots stay in their house rather than just run out of the house also why don't people just relocate to move town or even leave the country an live on another country.

Nurse marion had an actually purpose in H20

I love this rant Matt. So at least there's one thing this movie's good for

Dr. Loomis Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Halloween kills" yep the only thing the film has going for it are the kills and even they are mediocre AF

I can tell this was one of those break Matt movies =x lol just from the beginning of the rant. I believe the title symbolizes the killing of common sense, brain cells and reality. Hence Halloween kills.

Absolutely amazing epic rant review, Matt. I proudly own on dvd the original Halloween 2. Halloween 4 to Resurrection & Rob Zombie's Halloween 2. I will stick with those thank you. :)

In my opinion, It's nothing more than a glorified fan film with a budget. Just for one example, the "Hey Michael, it's Halloween. Everyone's entitled to one good scare" line from Brackett when the mob is surrounding Michael towards the end is just horrendous and is something you'd see in a fan film. How about we give Charles Cyphers some realistic dialogue, maybe just one emotional plea to Tommy to hunt down the bastard that killed his daughter. Instead we get "EVIL DIES TONIGHT!!" It's just very lazily written. Dependent on repeated lines and terminology from previous films in the franchise including Halloween 2018. I cringed so hard when Karen gives an encore of "gotcha". I said to myself "Oh god no" I truly wanted to enjoy this film and while there are some aspects of it that I did enjoy, for a big budget Halloween movie it should bring something new and interesting. It instead focuses on nostalgia trips, unnatural dialogue and chants. Everyone's entitled to their opinion and if you enjoyed it, that's awesome. But I think that any true fan of this franchise would expect something better than what we got, especially waiting an extra year, and I think that the writers should be pretty embarrassed and ashamed of themselves.

Went to see it last night , that mob chasing that guy around like a bunch of morons was horrendous, it was obvious it wasn't Myers, Holt shit. Yeh got few good kills but that's it , I was thinking at one point if someone else says "evil dies tonight" again I'm gonna scream, the acting was crap all round .

Good rant, I liked this one a lot, it’s in my favorites now with H1,H2,H3, H4, H20, HR

Donald pleasence for the win and dr. Loomis rocks. good review.

The mob should have had more guns modern ones like a Barrett 50cal BMG, a benelli M4 automatic shotgun, a FN five seven with the 5.7x28 it can do through body armor an ar15 308 cal those weapons would have been enough to end the shape just saying

I honestly think you’re being too kind. I love it though, I am so angry about this movie, I’m glad to see other people saw what I did. I made it to the end and agree wholeheartedly

Regarding the firefighter scene, the firefighters knew about Michael Myers and recognized him. That is why they wanted to attack him. I have seen more graphic kills in other slasher movies but I would say that the firefighters kills, the way it was filmed, especially, the saw kill scene was quite disturbing to watch. Water pressure from a firefighter hose can repel, injure or even kill a person (Myers is not an ordinary person though). Even if thd firefighters attacked Myers together, my bets would be on Myers still, winning. The producers and director keep on saying that Myers is an ordinary person but no way. Since Halloween 2018, I've seen Myers doing supernatural things that an ordinary person, cannot do. In Halloween 2018 there was a bus accident and mental patients escaped (including Myers, of course). The mental patient who committed suicide is the mental patient holding the umbrella in the earlier scenes of Halloween 2018. How the mob could mistake that mental patient in Halloween Kills for Michael Myers, is being me? Myers has a totally different build and height compared to that mental patient. I do not know if the scene where Myers gets up and kills everyone at the end of Halloween kills including Strode's daughter is all or part dream sequence as well?

i like Ends , the flash backs were great and i liked Laurie not being in it much. i love 78 and 81 the best.

This movie is fun to make fun of. When the gay guy started singing and dancing I thought I changed the channel by mistake

Donald Pleasance for the win! Your rant was better than the actual movie :)

Love the new thumbnails

Michael Myers turned into Jason Voorhees in this movie.

I liked it. Michael kills alot of people here. I like how Laurie was written as a random victim being that she was more in the background and Haddonfield being written as important element.

Evil dies TONIGHT! 40 years! Michael Meyers! Apex predator! It dies TONIGHT!

I really enjoyed it tbh. Much preferred it over the 2018 one. Too much people expected way too much from this movie lol

You weren't wrong about the 2018 Halloween score, I remember you said it was fine in your original review

Forgot this existed

I agree with you 100% on all accounts. One thing i've disliked about these newer Halloween films is that they make Michael Meyers more into Jason Voorhees. Makers claim to be fans of the original but especially with this movie it becomes clear they didn't understand what made the original so good in the first place. It had nothing to do with high bodycount, pointless gory kills and certainly not making all the characters into fucking idiots. The characters from Halloween Kills make characters from firday the 13th movies look like Einstein in comparison.

Lol I like your new thumbnails

"Doctor Loomis rocks" & "Donald Pleasence." I agree with you about Halloween H20, I enjoyed it. Plus Jamie Lee Curtis like her character Laurie Strode had a son during Halloween H20 & now has a daughter during Halloween Kills.

Donald Pleasance for the win! Unfortunately this movie was a mess for all the reasons you mentioned. No beginning, middle or end - no plot - just irrational stuff happening. But I did like the Loomis element, made me want to watch H78 again!

Who else had their eyes fixed on the side of the screen hoping to see the bug?

Halloween Kills was much better than Halloween 2018.

The Tommy Doyle character was pure comedy, which wasn't a good thing

I can see where they were going with this film, but the problem I find with it is tone and atmosphere of Myers. My favorites are the first 2 originals. Things that stand out to me is they seem to make a parody of Myers like he is out to take out anyone for sport when in the originals he would only go for people in his way example the firefighters team sequence does not fit. Film makers clearly haven't payed attention to Michael always lurking in the shadows example hiding behind houses, standing in dark alleys between blocks stalking his prey and yes I do notice the lack of musical score in this film. Modifying the theme was a bad call and yes the score is awful. Script has some highs to it, but the lows kind of brought it down a notch as there were some pointless scenes that could of been taken out.

I mean this with the utmost respect but I can honestly say, I’ve been a fan of Jamie Lee Curtis and have followed her career since 1978. The one and only little complaint I have ever heard her mention over all these years is that the wig from the 1981 film itched. I still have the People magazine from 1983 (the one where it shows her next to a sign that reads “Danger Curves Ahead” and in that interview she clearly states that she returned for Halloween II out of loyalty to John Carpenter, Debra Hill and her fans. She said she felt that she owed it to her fans to reprise her role. Now there was a period in the mid to late 80s where she didn’t want to be associated anymore with horror or slasher films, but I don’t recall her ever putting Halloween II down in any way, shape or form. If you watch old interviews as well as current interviews, she still seems grateful for them because they launched her career. I really think someone may have misinterpreted something.

I made it to the end and I really enjoyed the review. It was funny, it had great points, and unlike most people, you don’t attack and make fun of those who disagree and I applaud you on that. For me, I think it’s a decent sequel. It had some scary and suspenseful moments, Michael Myers was a badass, the kills were fun and brutal from what I saw, and it was just a great experience watching this in the theater. However, I am skeptical about this being the final send off like you. I hope that they actually end the franchise and don’t make more sequels just because this is doing well at the box office. The flashback sequences were stuff I could’ve cut out and I wish there was more of a big pile up and battle between Michael. But, I still liked it although it’s not as good as 1-4, H20 and the 2018 reboot. Anyway, I’m looking forward to your next rant and it’s been quite a while since I’ve got an epic rant from you. I think that your epic rants and your reviews of your favorite movies and movies you find underrated. See ya next time.

One thing Tommy Doyle really messed up in this movie was not knowing his enemy. Burt Gummer in the tremors movies says know you enemy know who your up against and know where to engage your enemy and choose your weapons and your ground

Smith Grove is 150 miles from Haddonfield. Does nurse Marion make the 3 hours drive every halloween ro hang with Tommy and Lindsay
