Much of this movie is preposterous and unwatchable. Loomis is all over the place in the first part of the movie, but when Jamie is actually in danger, he's nowhere to be found, and her fate is left in the hands of an elf-looking boy and Rachel's random friend, about whom the audience has been given no reason to care. Also why was Loomis man-handling Jamie for much of the movie and scaring her more than she already was? Another guy named Michael, Tina's boyfriend, who comes off as an ass, gets killed; no one cares. This other couple - I guess their names are Sam and Spitz - are having sex in a barn in a overly long scene, and they get killed; no one cares. At least the cops in the previous movies weren't complete buffoons, and if you couldn't tell the two main policemen in this film were buffoons, there was carnival/clown music playing when they appeared on screen. :facepalm: The buffoon cops died; no one cares. It seems the only being more indestructible than Michael Myers is Loomis himself. Dude's been shot, had half of his face burned off and then got stabbed. I'm intrigued by who the mystery man in black is, but that's about all I'm intrigued by after watching this film. When I started the franchise, the filmmakers teased at getting into some of the psychology or more of the history behind why Michael is the way he is, but it's been five films so far, and little else has been said about it since. So it seems, at least up to this point, filmmakers are just going to have him skulk around and kill indiscriminately while he's on Jamie's path, and that's about the most depth for which we can hope. After this one, I'm not necessarily looking forward to the next installment. I hope I'm surprised.
