Halloween Kills is kind of a mess. It’s ambitious and I appreciate the decision to try to take the franchise in a different direction. To not make the same movie or the standard slasher film all over again. And I … Continue reading
It’s hard to like a movie when it pulls a complete genre rope-a-dope on you. When it has to lie to tell its story, regardless of how important that story is. But I’m sure they used this horror movie Trojan … Continue reading
