Halloween: Prodigal Son

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.

It'll have its fans and its haters, for the season it's a thrill ride, does it enhance The Halloween catalogue, sadly not, it lacked structure, it lacked a cohesive narrative, it was just a killing spree slasher.

7/10.

Myers is back creeping into houses, stabbing merrily. The constant feeling of dread, pursuit in the dark, he goes all the way for new victims.

The kills are slightly better in this one, and has a much higher body count.

Comparing this low budget with the new HK, i can see that these guys really cared about the halloween franchise, and did what they couldn´t do, tell a good story, bring new characters in, and build the story around David Loomis character and his quest to avenge his father i thought that was so cool.

I didn´t even knew that doctor Loomis had a son, but after some investigation, i discovered he did, so i´m really happy about this, since i love this franchise, hope they can continue in this story for future sequels.

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.

While not perfect, "Halloween Prodigal Son" is a wonderful fan sequel in the HALLOWEEN series.

"HPS" has a great opening scene and an action packed climax, thanks to David Loomis (Miguel Dias) there´s room for a sequel here, and i really would like to see what´s coming next, so i hope a sequel his announced sooner than later.

The performances are really strong and the film has some suspenseful moments.

8 out of 10, entertaining, jumpy moments.
