#HalloweenKills is absolutely awesome, it takes the violence of 2018 to a whole new level. Could it be one of the most brutal films ever made? Of course, he’s very entertaining while having something to say. It’s also quite refreshing as it has some surprising twists in its story.
In his review for IGN Rafael Motamayor even compares the sequel to a film from the Star Wars universe:
While the Halloween movies often cut away when Michael ambushed someone and only revealed the aftermath of the crime, Halloween Kills shows Michael’s brutal slaughter of his victims.
Seriously, these murders are bloody.
The shock value is best illustrated when Halloween Kills gives us a first proper look at Michael’s sadistic artistic expression through his grandiose whimsical collection of mutilated corpses that is more disturbing than any Silver Shamrock product. Even John Carpenter’s score is darker, slower, and more dramatic than any of his previous Halloween compositions, and builds on what is best as that Empire strikes back in the Halloween franchise can be described.

In the beginning, no prisoners are taken with a fire ax – and later Michael rams a long dead victim in the blurred background one kitchen knife after the other in the lifeless torso for agesAs if he were a bored factory worker who, without even being aware of it, continued to make his usual hand movements even though the conveyor belt had stopped a long time ago.
In addition, this time Michael is even more physical than usual: the knife is no longer his favorite weapon – instead, he literally crushes his victimswhen he keeps banging her skull against the wall or working her neck in a banister for an agonizing time.
