10 Horror Movies So Good You Overlook Major Flaws
10. Sartain's Villainous Reveal Adds Nothing - Halloween (2018)
Halloween Kills was awful. Halloween Ends was arguably worse. Luckily, we can all agree the 2018 version of Halloween was far better than it should've been. In fact, many regard it to be the best instalment in the franchise since the original.
Annoyingly, the sequel could've been improved even more, if it removed one specific detail. In the opening, we see Michael Myers being treated by Dr. Sartain, who was a student of Michael's psychiatrist, Dr. Loomis.
While Michael is transferred to another facility shortly after, he escapes, and begins making his way to Laurie Strode's home.
Just before the big showdown, Sartain reveals to Laurie's granddaughter how he orchestrated Michael's escape. By studying Michael "in the wild", Sartain believes he could gain great insight into how a serial killer thinks.
However, Sartain's villainous monologue is cut short, when Michael murders him and crushes his skull. Not only was Sartain's heel-turn silly, it was unneeded. If this scene was removed, it would've had no effect on the plot. As a result, it makes you wonder why the filmmakers included this revelation in the first place.
