Anyone else think

Spoiler

The podcasters were excellent and interesting? Should've been at least the secondary protagonists of the movie imo

very disappointed with how they were dealt with

Yeah, I pretty much agree. My biggest problem was that David Gordon Green doesn't prove to be all that adept at horror. There really aren't any standout sequences or set pieces here (The motion sensors part is cute and the ending is solid, but both hardly memorable), and some stretches are just kind of awkwardly staged.

I actually liked the idea of the podcasters and thought they had more potential. They sought to try to understand Michael, and the film could've done more to highlight the futility of explaining the unexplainable, particularly as a rejoinder to Rob Zombie's attempt at an origin story. I at least appreciated that the film mostly stuck to the original Shape conception of the character.

Two really good parts of the movie

In my opinion Jamie Lee Curtis did an excellent job playing a character who a lot of people weren't keen on after the trailers and stuff

And the Michael (look, mannerisms, movement etc) is one of the best in the franchise.

My immediate go-to's are Kiyoshi Kurosawa's twin masterpieces of Cure/Pulse. Both are just drenched in atmosphere...Kurosawa is a master of generating a sense of danger that you may not see or even understand, but you certainly feel it. There are a few stretches in each that are among the most haunting I've ever seen in a horror film. Horror itself is highly subjective though, so one's mileage may vary.

I just got back from the new Halloween myself...I'll keep quiet though until more people get a chance to check it out.

Seconded...I had a couple problems with it (It's a bit too long; Some of it functions as a grab-bag of other horror classics), but its blend of heightened melodrama with fun-house horror kept me off-balance throughout. Via an impressive share of clever scares, it was also a lot of fun to watch in a theater.

Hereditary was f---ing wild. Anyone who likes horror should see it, and go into it knowing as little as possible.

So let me give everyone my take on Laurie being a vengeful person who has been preparing for Michael to escape. This isn’t H20. Her way of dealing with the trauma of almost being murdered in that movie was done well. However, we don’t need an exact repeat of H20. That movie will always be there for us to go back and watch. When this film comes out I will still enjoy H20 for what it is and I’ll still watch it. But let me point out why she’s dealing with it differently in this. H20 followed H2. In that movie Michael appears to be dead. He burned to a crisp and Laurie watched it happen. So she thinks hes dead all these years hence why there would be no reason for her to have to prepare for Michael. In this however she knows Michael is alive and that he’ll eventually escape again. If he did it once he’ll do it again and she knows it. Also we know they’re not brother and sister in this. So Michael would have no reason to come to her when he escapes. That’s why she’s going to bring the fight to him instead. Unless of course he wants to finish the job because she escaped from him. But we don’t know that yet. We still have to see how their first encounter in the movie goes. Either way, it makes sense. I get everyone’s complaints about it but that’s my take. This was the best way to give us a Loomis type character since Donald Pleasance is no longer with us as well.
