Just saw this tonight. Not too bad.

The life insurance rates in Haddonfield gotta be crazy expensive.

David Gordon Green consistently holds up to John Carpenter's original classic. This movie was a lot of fun. Paid good homage to the original without feeling too heavyhanded about it. It's a more brutal film than the previous installment. A bigger cast. Bigger body count. The Shape really gets to shine. My only gripe is with some of the performances. At times the delivery of dialogue felt a little B-Flickish. Towards the end I was rooting for Michael, as opposed to the ending of the previous film when I was rooting for Laurie. The social commentary here isn't too difficult to see, but it's believable. I wanted to see this in a theater, but I already saw Venom and Scream, and Dune is next week. That's enough of my money gone to Hollywood. I caught it on Peacock. Wish they'd release it in 4K. Anyway, happy Halloween everyone. Lock your doors, and beware the Boogeyman.
