This movie is pretty terrible
The first 10 minutes have some of the worst pacing I’ve ever seen.
For a slasher movie the kills are overly tame and nothing special, hardly a drop of blood.
John Carpenter overuses the Halloween theme to the point of detriment, it becomes annoying after a while.
This is supposed to feel like autumn time in the Midwest yet the movie doesn’t even capture the look or feel of Halloween time. You can see palm trees in the background, hardly any Halloween decorations in the homes, just lazy Beyond belief.
Donald Pleasance is given hardly anything to do, spends the whole movie running around and hiding in bushes.
Michael Myers stalks and stalks and then stalks some more.....we get it Carpenter, you’re trying to build suspense, how exciting.
Could the supporting characters be anymore “meh”? They go on and on about how they plan to spend their day, are we supposed to care?
The ending makes no sense, is he the bogeyman or just a man in a mask? No man could survive that many shots yet there is zero explanation for how he could be the boogeyman.
Like I said, pretty terrible.
