Review
For any sequel movie, there would be higher expectations. Sequel films would add more meaning or become even more thrilling in every film. Considering that fact, Halloween Kills (2021) was not a disappointment.
The cinematography and the music have been the icing on the cake to the movie. The character of Laurie was brilliantly written. Jamie Lee Curtis is justified for this role. Brutal murders were no less than the previous film. It brings the audience to the edge of their seats.
However, this film didn’t take forward the character of Michael Myers. The characterization of Michael was still around hunting down and killing people like in the previous sequels. But, nevertheless, it definitely did justice to the genre in which the movie is placed.
People have much higher expectations of the next franchise that is expected to release in the year 2022.
