What to Know

Critics Consensus

Halloween Kills should satisfy fans in search of brute slasher thrills, but in terms of advancing the franchise, it's a bit less than the sum of its bloody parts.

Audience Says

Halloween Kills doesn't do much to move the Michael Myers saga forward, but viewers looking for hardcore horror violence won't be disappointed.

Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle As a sequel to the deliciously absurd 2018 resurrection, it's a ponderous bore, far-too-intermittently broken up by spurts of the franchise's signature gore. Nov 3, 2021 Full Review David Stratton The Australian Halloween Kills is an ugly, messy film. It's a little depressing to learn that yet another sequel is supposedly in the works. Rated: 2/5 Oct 30, 2021 Full Review Becca James Chicago Reader Halloween Kills fails to resurrect the franchise. Oct 30, 2021 Full Review Susanna Norbiato Loud and Clear Reviews To use Goya’s words, “the sleep of reason produces monsters,” and Michael Myers is the Fear that we all carry within us, and that we come face to face every day, when we look at ourselves in the mirror. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Sarah Vincent Sarah G Vincent Views John Carpenter had a sense of pacing which heightened the tension with judicious kills whereas “Halloween Kills” is all chaos cinema and Beauty and the Beast’s Mob Song without the music. Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Stephanie Bunbury Deadline Hollywood Daily Never was there a film truer to its name. They’re sliced up with kitchen knives, hollowed out with a fluorescent strip light, bisected with a chain saw and impaled on banisters. The body count is phenomenal. We love this stuff. You know we do. Sep 16, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

seth there will never be no other. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/01/24 Full Review KXF 3/5. Superb action and cinematography. Wastes way too much time, though, with ridiculous sub-plots and cringe dialogue from insufferable characters. The repeated phrase "EVIL DIES TONIGHT" now haunts me just as badly as the never-ending Silver Shamrock commercial. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/01/24 Full Review PJ Cool flashback to 78. Cool sequence coming out of the burning house. Weak evil dies tonight through line. Micheal killing Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/22 Full Review Delfin While the plot is not as great as 2018 and does not touch the original, Kills is very entertaining and delivers to its name. It also shows how The Shape affects people outside of the Strode family which was great to see and it sets up an exciting confrontation in Ends between Laurie and The Shape. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/13/22 Full Review kevin I never got to see this film. I purchase as you can see however, upon arriving to the theater they say that their machine is broken and they can not gone my purchase. I was very upset and have to drive an hour home. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/13/22 Full Review Bruised Banana Halfway decent follow up to a great horror reboot. So much stalling and failed drama makes it a bore many times. Lack of humor takes a toll. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/11/22 Full Review Read all reviews
