I don't typically like slasher movies, which is why I think I enjoyed this one so much. The slasher aspect wasn't the point; it was the conflict between Michael and Laurie. The story is simple but effective; Michael didn't kill her the first time and is driven to do so. Laurie survived Michael's last assault but can't rest knowing he's still out there. The town was the back drop to this conflict. That's it. Simple but effective. This was a character driven story, rather than one driven by narrative. We see how the sheriff regrets not letting lumis finish michael off. We see Michael's current psychiatrist desperate to give the decades of his life meaning, by living through Micheal. Ultimately he fails, and that's pretty funny. The most impressive aspect of this movie was the technical work though. Sound design was incredibly effective. The shots in this film were elegant to a frightening degree. Even when you had an idea of what was going to happen, the camera placement was so believable you would fall for red herrings you KNEW were red herrings. I think there was a lot to like in this movie. If you're showing up JUST hoping for a slasher movie though, you may be disappointed. They don't dig into the kills. Michael does his thing, and half the time you only see the aftermath. I think that's more effective but if you really want to see the process, you'll be disappointed. If you like the original Halloween, you'll probably love this one.
@INFINITE 2020 I honestly dont like the sibling aspect of 2. And i do know Carpenter also didnt like it aswell, but he needed a way to reunite michael, Laurie and Loomis and knew no other way. It took away the scary element of Michael. His randomness is gone. The only reason why the second movie isnt included in the new timeline is just because of this sibling thing. The first part and the end chase of the 1981 movie is very great though. Do you know michael started stalking Laurie because she was the first person he saw when she dropped the key at his former home? And not because she was his sister?
Captain America faught Red Skull for 50 years in a portal. *He became almost unbeatable.* Jamie Lee Curtis trained for 40 years. *Still trips and fall.*
I really liked when the tables turned at the end when she disappeared when Mike looked down and then when she popped out of the shadows. That was pretty dope. Maybe if they had her stalk him for him a minute before “killing” him that would’ve elevated the movie a little more. I still thought it was a solid movie. I give it a 7.5-8/10
The switch up that u suggested they do was basically what they did, since this is a sequel to the 1978 movie, the switch up came when she fell from the house. The shooting him in the shoulder was a setup to get him in the basement so they can trap him & burn him. Everything that looked like it wasn’t supposed to happen in regards to the killing was supposed to happen, it was Lori’s way of hunting him to trap him to burn him alive, however that last shot of the basement with no body does set it up for another movie.
Exactly my question 🤔. If they’re going back to the aspect of him being a serial killer like the first movie, where does his strength come from if it’s not supernatural no more lol.
You missed the beginning I think. The movie started at the Mental Institute. The podcasters came with the mask and tried to get him to talk by showing it to him.
You are the first person to share my confusion of his strength! This man out here locked up for 4 decades no gym. How the hell are you all of a sudden the world's strongest man? It's suppose to be noodle arm central out here! 😂💯
Hey Tony i havent seen the movie yet but plan on seeing it even with the spoiler lol..my theory on why he stands so stiff is...the suit is too damn tight, been tight his whole life they dont make his size.
@Roberto Ruiz No he didn't. He's supposed to be more than human. That's why he's not addressed as Michael Myers in the credits. Even Loomis says he's not a normal man and that the human side of him died a long time ago.
Hey Tony! When she fell out that window that was my favorite part!!!! I laughed so loud cause he was like whaaaa where she go! Lmao Like this what I been doing to people all these years! And then when she came out the shadows it was kinda like what you said!
I believe those sequences with yhe nameless characters are inportant cause it helps see into the characters live just before they are savagely killed off. Like imagine just being in ya house, its been 40 years Micheal Myers is just townfolk lore and all of a sudden he's in your crib playing with knieves staring at you.
Michael didn't kill the baby that was in the lady's house, surprising but nice. The kid babysitting kid getting away, comedy gold. He literally said you'll die if you go up there. The doctor switching sides, unexpected. The end showed that this was Jamie lee curtis plan, fantastic. I think she planned everything that happened in that house. Why else would she have mannequins just chilling in the bedroom. I do think they could have worked the killer a little bit more, like drop a bomb in the basement, but the plan seemed solid. For me 3 saxophones out of 5, because Jamies family was useless for 80% of the movie.
I found it Hilarious how the fathers death in the movie was 100% meaningless. His body out there dead in the yard. And neither his wife or daughter seemed to give a hot damn 😂😂😂. They were purely focused on killing/surviving Michael. I couldn’t even see the pain in the eyes lol.
That Granddaughter was a useless character. She literally did nothing but run and scream for the entire final act. Hell, Michael wasn’t even chasing her when she was running through the woods, he was already at the cabin.
I prefer the Laurie Strode from Halloween H20. It was much more believable. After surviving Michael Myers she moved to the other side of the country, got a new identity, got some therapy & got on with her life. In this movie, surviving Michael Myers turnt her into 60yr old Macaulay Culkin from Home Alone.
Too Funny 😂. I know I never have to watch a movie I'm on the fence about. Your reviews are so vivid and detailed it's like I watched it. Thanks Tony. You need to get paid for these reviews. SOMEBODY PLEASE PUT YA BOY ON WITH SOME PAID MOVIE REVIEWS. 😂💯🔥🔥🔥
remember podcast dude yelled st Michael in the school yard when his ankles was locked in...Michael dead silent looking like I got yo podcast...that was their interview
That Laurie stalking Mike idea could work great as a parody, or a deadass serious approach like Batman did The Joker at the end of Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker.
Mike has always been so damn strong for some reason. In one of the movies he killed somebody by pressing his thumb into their forehead. Idk what his regimen is lol
YESSS!! Completely agree and if they would have made Michael the "stalkee", that would have been great. I wouldn't have even given it 2.5 out of 5 though. Too high.
Fr that’s what I’m saying all those years of training and preparing and you shoot him in the shoulder and he falls down the caller....😑plus he wasn’t there at the end he disappeared.i didn’t see him .and the zoomed in when the granddaughter had the knife in her head.so is she gonna be the next killer?bc she’s traumatized? Or is it gonna be a part 2 since micheal disappeared?to be continued
It seems like Michael Myers character never dies. Haven't seen it yet,but,what do you expect. Writers will always cook something up to say "Keep" his character alive and going.
I'm glad I found this. I'm about to watch this movie and I have to be prepared for children dying in movies. I don't need to know how, I just need to know it happens and what genre the movie falls under
I didnt like it. It was funny for me. But i did see another review that says this one started over as if it was movie 2 and he had gotten locked up right away. Which was why she trained for 40 years and everything was supposed to be in reverse with her hunting him. Instead of him hunting her. But i do think he got out. Tony you didnt say how you felt about the doc role and him killing the cop.
Same. Im a scary cat, so I wanted to build some courage and I watched it last night. I jumped 2 times and I honestly feel it was more scary when I was a little girl-- Just like how I felt about Candyman, I was TERRIFIED of Candyman as a little girl... But now, like Michael, its like-- eh...
I think he got out....cause the daughter was shooting the floor.....if this is a direct sequel, why is everything almost shot scene for scene?...and the doctor flipping...was really weird.....but the black kid was the smartest person in the whole movie....
I gave it a 3.7...the doctor twist I hated dropped the movie a whole point for me..and the black sheriff they should have made him concerned just looking in the wrong places for Michael..but nope black sheriff was all smiles ain't that bad...(took half a point) But I like that the black population in Haddonfield went up fairly significantly ( I gave 0.3 back for that)...the movie would have been better without the daughter...now I feel you on the shooting they should be ready..but practicing and real hunting human or animal its different..I loved it I'mma IMMA BOOGIE MAN FAN..I was happy I was satisfied..GREAT REVIEW MAM LOVE YA CHANNEL... WILL YOU EVER DO LIKE A 80's or 90's movie..like Vampire from Brooklyn.. Face/Off.. the 89 Batman..BLADE.. HABADASHAERY AND HEMOGLOBIN
@@deeluu7560 I'll admit transferring him on his infamous day of escape and Killin spree was pretty stupid...let alone not having young strong guards..he stapled a teen to a wall with a butchers knife in 78..and was shot 6 times and got up fuck the roof fall...fuck in The Green Mile they said fuck the peeshooter give me the shotgun....I would transported this nutcase like Debo and Tyron in Next Friday
Hey Tony! What do you think about the theory that Laurie caused the bus crash? 😕 it's cool but what happened that she didn't kill him then 🤔 other than needing to have more movie 😄
Yeah, the podcasters did talk to Michael at the sanitarium🤷🏻♀️ Michael must have some magical powers like Superman & other Justice League members to crush bodies or throw people around like toys🎃
Tony's scenario where Jamie Lee Curtis stalks Michael Myers is comedy gold😂😂
Jim Bean 🤣 yes.
Just here to add I would pay money to watch that
“The gloves were off- *anybody* could get it!” 😂😂🤣
That's that old man strength!!! 😂😂😂😂
Maaaaaan listen, I haven't even seen the movie yet but ima need you to get started on the script for "Work the Killer" cuz I need it in my life
Micheal been training for 40 years also. They should have gave him the rocky training sequence.
You might be joking but i think it makes more sense if he was a dude that just worked out cause he had nothing else to do.
@@champchamp3075 You are right.
“They never show him runnin” lmaoooo trueeee
“Worrk the killer!” 😂 like Tommy Jarvis in Friday the 13th: Final Chapter
Shooting as a family. I choked on my food. Watching your videos aren't safe.
The real question how does Michael finds his way around? He was locked up for 40 yrs, everything has changed.
You ever seen Michael searching? Whomsoever he finds getting it. He bout the knife work, anyone can get it.
OMG I was saying the same thing, like how he got everybody address?? Lmao
KB Damson you don’t forget your hometown
Exactly and he observes everything.
My theory is the doctor gave Michael all of his info. Early on they said he could speak, but he chose not to. So he was very aware.

- Ima tell your mother whats really on your browser
- Ooh Thats what we doing out here
...a lil kid doe 👏👏👏😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Man for 40 years Michael Myers was hitting everyone with the CRAM 🐐
He had stericrams 💉🐐
Slash, stab and cram
"Clipping my nasty ass toenails" 😂🤣😂🤣😭 Easily my favorite scene!!
"Can you call my mom?" 💀
Captain America faught Red Skull for 50 years in a portal. *He became almost unbeatable.* Jamie Lee Curtis trained for 40 years. *Still trips and fall.*
That's because she white it has nothing to do with training
So everyone gone ignore the fact that the granddaughter was still holding the knife at the end.
Passing on the torch as far be perpare for Michael not the granddaughter becaming the new Shape/Boogie Man
i also noticed that. New Myers 2.0 🔪🔪
Probably just in shock
I noticed that. I think they are going to make another one, and she is going to be crazy in the next one.
I really liked when the tables turned at the end when she disappeared when Mike looked down and then when she popped out of the shadows. That was pretty dope. Maybe if they had her stalk him for him a minute before “killing” him that would’ve elevated the movie a little more. I still thought it was a solid movie. I give it a 7.5-8/10

glad I'm not the only one who couldn't stand Laurie's daughter in this.
Latrell Howard yes I wanted Michael to kill her immediately!
She was a shity daughter oh, I mean be sympathetic to your mother she's been through hell of psychotic Maniac tried to kill her several times
Exactly my question 🤔. If they’re going back to the aspect of him being a serial killer like the first movie, where does his strength come from if it’s not supernatural no more lol.
Caiba Show hatred as we would call it,pure evil in the words of the great dr. Loomis im guessin...
Caiba Show it's supernatural
Has to be supernatural he turned a guys head into taco meat with one stomp.
He did a lot of lunges and squats. Under those overalls hes built like Alessandra Alvez....
I think the strength was super natural hence the stiff up when he put on the jumpsuit. A full-blown possession was in it.
You missed the beginning I think. The movie started at the Mental Institute. The podcasters came with the mask and tried to get him to talk by showing it to him.
You are the first person to share my confusion of his strength! This man out here locked up for 4 decades no gym. How the hell are you all of a sudden the world's strongest man? It's suppose to be noodle arm central out here! 😂💯
Anthony James 😭😭😭😭😭 noodle arm central.
Hey Tony i havent seen the movie yet but plan on seeing it even with the spoiler lol..my theory on why he stands so stiff is...the suit is too damn tight, been tight his whole life they dont make his size.
He's not supposed to walk like a normal human, which is why he was called The Shape. You don't know what it is but you can identify it.
@Roberto Ruiz No he didn't. He's supposed to be more than human. That's why he's not addressed as Michael Myers in the credits. Even Loomis says he's not a normal man and that the human side of him died a long time ago.
@Roberto Ruiz You contradict yourself. You said he walks inhuman but note he does. Which one is it?
"Now all of a sudden, Michael Myers is running away!" I laughed so hard with that one, Tony.
Hey Tony!
When she fell out that window that was my favorite part!!!! I laughed so loud cause he was like whaaaa where she go! Lmao Like this what I been doing to people all these years! And then when she came out the shadows it was kinda like what you said!
How about how soft the daughters husband was? "You don't have a gun?" "No but I know ju jitsu" I clapped when he got got
I love your spoiler reviews bc I'm lame about watching movies so it's like going, only also watching a Tony Baker clip. Puuuuurrrrrrrrrfect
"Michael Myers got a big head how could you miss?" 😂😂😂😂😂
I believe those sequences with yhe nameless characters are inportant cause it helps see into the characters live just before they are savagely killed off.
Like imagine just being in ya house, its been 40 years Micheal Myers is just townfolk lore and all of a sudden he's in your crib playing with knieves staring at you.
That switch up of Laura a stalking Micheal would have been so dope
Michael didn't kill the baby that was in the lady's house, surprising but nice.
The kid babysitting kid getting away, comedy gold. He literally said you'll die if you go up there.

For me 3 saxophones out of 5, because Jamies family was useless for 80% of the movie.
Oh and jamie did stalk him. when she came out the shadows after he got shot? His mask did seem a little shooketh when she was gone
When she disappeared Michael was like "So thats how that feels.."
That little black kid tho. LOL!!! He was outtie. You never saw him the rest of the movie.
Kids getting they ass killed up in these movies these days. Lil Johnny anit safe no more 😕
I found it Hilarious how the fathers death in the movie was 100% meaningless. His body out there dead in the yard. And neither his wife or daughter seemed to give a hot damn 😂😂😂. They were purely focused on killing/surviving Michael. I couldn’t even see the pain in the eyes lol.
I think the grand daughter might snap and become a killer in part 2, yall seen how she kept that knife ?
That Granddaughter was a useless character. She literally did nothing but run and scream for the entire final act. Hell, Michael wasn’t even chasing her when she was running through the woods, he was already at the cabin.

Michael Myers has a great poker face tho... and that posture is savage... straightest back in the industry...😆😆
Tony all over the place😂
I haven't seen movies for a long time but I would watch your version of this.
Michael Myers and Jason always walk and the victims run and they still catch them and die smh 😂
Now I can't stop seeing Michael Myers dialing 911 like a distraught white woman 😂😂😂
"9-1-1 what's ur emergency?"
Michael Myers "........." 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣.... I am DONE!
remember podcast dude yelled st Michael in the school yard when his ankles was locked in...Michael dead silent looking like I got yo podcast...that was their interview
That would've been a dope concept for Jamie Lee character to stalk him
For sure a plot twist is needed in this movies. Hell movies period need more plot twists.
That Laurie stalking Mike idea could work great as a parody, or a deadass serious approach like Batman did The Joker at the end of Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker.
Mike has always been so damn strong for some reason. In one of the movies he killed somebody by pressing his thumb into their forehead. Idk what his regimen is lol
That was Halloween 4
David Donnelly yeah I remember now
Wow he strong asf💪💪💪
what did you think about the last scene were they focused on the granddaughter with the knife?
You forgot the part when he got ran over by the SUV and was unconscious for a whole 5 mins before breaking out the back of the same police SUV.
That would've been so dope if they switched it up. Somebody has to do it in a movie and you need the credit Tony.
Lmao when you said "imagine Micheal Myers just start talking like "oh shit" 😂🤣😂🤣😉🤣
Tony your theory of jamie stalking was a good idea that wouldve been a good plot twist and just end it there thoe
Great video and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
Shooting him as a family 😭😂😂
Could you do a review of hotel Artemis? Also a mass murderer is someone who, kills a bunch of people at one time.
YESSS!! Completely agree and if they would have made Michael the "stalkee", that would have been great. I wouldn't have even given it 2.5 out of 5 though. Too high.
😈 First.... I’ve been waiting for this spoiler lol ..
That would have been dope to flip it. Treat his younger sister as the killer [Of him.] Would have made the series fresh.
Fr that’s what I’m saying all those years of training and preparing and you shoot him in the shoulder and he falls down the caller....😑plus he wasn’t there at the end he disappeared.i didn’t see him .and the zoomed in when the granddaughter had the knife in her head.so is she gonna be the next killer?bc she’s traumatized?

Let’s go Tony quick wit the spoilers
What time you get there ??? lol the movie opens with them interviewing Michael and they pull the mask out of the bag and all the patients go crazy.
Conversation?
I can't stop laughing!!!
Clearly went down a TB movie review rabbit hole today lol
Michael:....
Laurie: What?! Cash me outside how bout dat?
Good movie, i thought it was weird they had the psychiatrist turn villain all of a sudden but I guess that would explain how the bus crashed
Same. Im a scary cat, so I wanted to build some courage and I watched it last night. I jumped 2 times and I honestly feel it was more scary when I was a little girl-- Just like how I felt about Candyman, I was TERRIFIED of Candyman as a little girl... But now, like Michael, its like-- eh...
"how do u miss that dome ?!!" LOL
Her stalking him should be in the next film. That’s a brilliant idea. She becomes the monster and kills the monster once and for all
Kid with the ashy voice hahaha. All we wanted to do was dance. Poor guy!
Jamie Lee Curtis had a whole crossbow in that bunker along with the shotguns, the pistols and the rifles. I felt like that wasn’t needed lol.
The cop with a little kid's lunch was the SFX artist for the movie the other cop was the police procedure specialist for the movie🍿
As funny as that scenario would be, that would kill any chance of future movies!😂😂😂
I want to know how he learned how to drive if he been locked up in a mental hospital? So many questions and no answers
U miss the beginning when they tried to get Micheal to talk
Jamie had her glasses off when she missed the shot👀
I think he got out....cause the daughter was shooting the floor.....if this is a direct sequel, why is everything almost shot scene for scene?...and the doctor flipping...was really weird.....but the black kid was the smartest person in the whole movie....

But I like that the black population in Haddonfield went up fairly significantly ( I gave 0.3 back for that)...the movie would have been better without the daughter...now I feel you on the shooting they should be ready..but practicing and real hunting human or animal its different..I loved it I'mma IMMA BOOGIE MAN FAN..I was happy I was satisfied..GREAT REVIEW MAM LOVE YA CHANNEL...

My Mom said that back in the day they didn't kill kids in movies.
And hopefully they don't start.

Tony “ how you miss that dome” Baker
they did the interview in the very beginning. He didn’t talk at all.
Lol I missed these reviews. My notifications was off for 2 months😥
Yeah, the podcasters did talk to Michael at the sanitarium🤷🏻♀️ Michael must have some magical powers like Superman & other Justice League members to crush bodies or throw people around like toys🎃
Seriously I agree with your rating I was so bored watching this movie I walked out. I didn’t even care who killed who anymore.
Mike strong! It takes a lot of force to curb stomp someone's skull in one stroke!
Yo Tony you have to review Tge night comes for us.
Mike goes to planet fitness on his off time
Everyone got a plan in tell you get punched🤣
Tony, at what part did you jump internally? (curious)
Michael definitely should have got ALL THE WORK
