Halloween: Prodigal Son

The storyline was modern but yet paid homage to the original. The scares, the gore, the stupid decisions, it all came together to make one killer movie.

You (seriously) can't kill the bogeyman!

For me this one was better than Halloween Kills, loved the kills on this one, we don´t need lots of blood to prove that a movie is good, the investigation scenes were the best.

There´s a connection with the thorn cult in this, wich i found that was cool.

The camera work is good and the direction seems a little different than i was expecting, but it surprised me on some angles.

It's still fun and always fun to see fan films like this when Halloween season comes.

8/10.

Well, what a surprise... I actually LIKED this one.

Director Rui Constantino takes cues from the first film and returns "Halloween" to its roots, in the process creating a much better flowing and entertaining movie than any of the situations that occurred in the other movies. Also, this movie sets a precedent by introducing actually realistic characters (not all, but most of them) that aren't entirely stupid and that you care about whether they die or not! This results in a more tightly structured thriller that actually entertains, rather than merely leading cattle to slaughter. And if you're the type to pay attention to such things, it already has a gripping storyline.

I going to give this movie 8 out 10.

It´s a showdown between Myers and David Loomis, and it´s great, lots of bullets this time for him to fall.

The director decided to ignore the previous sequels and refer directly to the original story. In the film, I did not notice stupid illogicalities typical of this genre, which pleasantly surprised me. The movie lasts less than an hour.

The simple and effective story, well-balanced pace and duration, great atmosphere and, of course, the legendary tune that makes us shiver for decades. Recommendation.

7/10.

The first half of the film sets up the new character David Loomis, while we jump back and forth observing Michael on his journey to the confrontation.

The kills strike hard, the suspense is ramped up, and then it's a frenetic action based finale capped off by a coup de grace of some distinction. All in all it's just a very good and proper Halloween/Myers movie.
