6/10
Carnage and laughs
16 October 2021
This movie is a mixed bag. Very strong intro, brutal kills, great flashbacks and atmosphere. The writing and subplots left much to be desired. A bit too much humor thrown in without balanced tension and suspense. The final 20 minutes of Halloween 2018 were superb, and this follow-up did not reach those heights. This installment, which in my opinion is vastly better than most entries (5, H20, Resurrection, remakes, Curse of) does not reach upper echelon of the cannon with it's plot being all over the place, an overdone hospital non-Myers mob chase, and too many theater laughs. I hope they go back to the drawing board and search for that elusive Carpenter-suspense. All in all 6/10. Myers was fantastic, the gore was great, but I miss The Shape lurking and steady building suspense.
