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!

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.

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.

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.
