Halloween: Figliol Prodigo

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.

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.

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´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.

There's real human drama at play here which makes the horror elements pop when they show up. There are too many jump scares and the film looks like a Halloween film in the visual sense, but it's got a stronger script than most of the other ones and the finale is incredibly satisfying.

Go ahead and watch it.
