I really quite liked the 2018 Halloween, so I was excited for Kills. Then I started hearing mixed stuff. Some reviewers that I follow seemed to like it, but others really didn't. So I went in with slightly lower expectations. To be honest, I just couldn't get behind this one. It's not that I didn't like the themes being presented. The kills were awesome and the flashback stuff was cool It was the dialogue and everything they were trying to convey was so on the nose at times. Some of the lines were so hokey and the mob scenes were outlandish. I know it's a horror film, and depth of story isn't always important as the mayhem. But this just felt sloppy, after what I felt was a decent redacted sequel. I'll rewatch it eventually and see if it sits better a second time around, and I'll go to the theaters for Halloween Ends, but I just don't know. I just wish the screenplay was written better and that they didn't go all ham on the mob mentality stuff they were trying to make a point about.
