‘Halloween Kills’ …And Kills And Kills, But Sadly Does Not Slay [Venice Review]

Halloween Kills has been shared, the latest in a comeback series of films from the popular horror franchise.Jamie Lee Curtis reprises her role as Laurie Strode for the movie.

Michael Myers is on the loose again.

You can’t kill the boogeyman, and you can’t kill the “Halloween” franchise either. After a couple of story retcons in the original slasher series and Rob Zombie‘s take on the Michael Myers mythos, The Shape rose again in 2018 with David Gordon Green‘s “Halloween.” A redundant title to a tired narrative, to be sure, but there are plenty out there (including this writer) who still love to see Laurie Strode duke it out with Haddonfield’s least favorite son.

The trailer for Halloween Kills is here!

In shades of the gunmetal gray that has become the grading palette of choice for Serious Historical Epics — possible because arterial blood spray shows up so nice and red against it —Ridley Scott‘s starry, surprisingly engaging “Rashomon“-inflected “The Last Duel” opens on the wintry December day of the duel in question.

After giving horror fans a solid “Halloween” installment, serving as a sequel to the original John Carpenter film with Jamie Lee Curtis playing a more seasoned and gritty incarnation of her iconic Laurie Strode role, director David Gordon Green is back with “Halloween Kills” which premiered at the Venice Film Festival yesterday.

The upcoming movie Halloween Kills is going to be available to watch from the comfort of your home earlier than we expected.

Universal will be releasing the Blumhouse/Miramax movie Halloween Kills in theaters and on Peacock on Oct. 15. The release date stays the same, the distribution pattern changes up.

stripping off her shoes as she ran onstage to accept the prestigious honor. Talking about the memorable moment on social media after the ceremony, the “Halloween Kills” star wrote, “I accepted my Golden Lion Lifetime Achievement with these words which I attempted to deliver in Italian. ‘Thank you again for this great honor. I dedicate it to the victims and survivors of violence.

This is the second Universal film this year to attempt a hybrid release with Peacock after the studio did so with DreamWorks’ “The Boss Baby: Family Business” in early July. Universal has released more theatrically exclusive films this year than any other studio, including “F9,” which grossed $172 million in North America and $710 million worldwide.

Halloween Kills have been released following its debut at the 78th Venice International Film Festival.Halloween Kills is the second chapter in director David Gordon Green’s trilogy following 2018’s Halloween, which acted as a direct sequel to John Carpenter’s 1978 classic.The film brings back Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, alongside Judy Greer, Andi Matichak and Will Patton who all reprise their roles.

Here it is: the second installment in the current reboot of the franchise they couldn’t kill, Halloween. Jamie Lee Curtis’s Laurie Strode is still with us as the slasher genre’s essential “final girl,” despite now being and playing a senior citizen.

is the twelfth installment in the franchise, and it’s a shockingly realistic one. Laurie’s been stalked by Michael for 53 years, which means any spark of normalcy has been dampened by a hailstorm of knives, masks, cloaks and jump scares.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticIn 2018, when David Gordon Green was given the hallowed mission of rebooting the “Halloween” series (that the director of “All the Real Girls” would embrace becoming the showrunner of a slasher franchise says a lot about the 21st century, but let’s leave that for another time), his job was to wipe away 40 years of bad sequels and to restore the lurchy cinematic gamesmanship, the perfectly-timed-shock-cut ingenuity, and the scary-classic mystique of the 1978

Typically, when a studio revives a horror franchise and tries to reboot it for a new audience, fans roll their eyes. This has been seen time after time, and mostly, these reboots/revivals result in a subpar product.

“Laurie/Jamie, we’re the same thing after 43 years,” said Jamie Lee Curtis as she greeted the Venice Film Festival press corps this afternoon.

“True Things” is a “romantic” drama that is not romantic in the slightest. In the tradition of films like Catherine Breillat’s “Romance” and Adrian Lyne’s “9 ½ weeks,” the focus is on what is revealed about a female protagonist by how much she is willing to sacrifice to briefly experience passion with an unreliable yet sexy man.

Like finding a grubby, balled-up bill in your spangly g-string and uncrumpling it to discover doughy old Ben Franklin staring benignly back at you, Ana Lily Amirpour‘s third feature is a sweet, scuzzy surprise made all the sweeter/scuzzier because you don’t know quite what you did to deserve it.

A poetic meditation on film, history, and loss, “Three Minutes – A Lengthening” gives a glimpse into a lost world and then unpacks just how much can be learned from that brief fragment. While on a grand tour of Europe in 1938, David Kurtz, a Polish-American man, traveled to Nasielsk, the town of his birth, and brought with him a 16mm camera filled with Kodachrome, a novelty at the time.
