Halloween: Filho Pródigo

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.

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.

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.

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.
