10 Horror Movies That Made You Say 'WTF Were They Thinking'
10. "Evil Dies Tonight!" - Halloween Kills
While one can at least appreciate that David Gordon Green was trying to do something different with Halloween Ends - albeit unsuccessfully - it's much tougher to make sense of the abject mess that was the second movie in Green's trilogy, Halloween Kills.
First and foremost, Kills is a treatise on the perils of mob mentality with all the nuance of a toddler's understanding of the subject.
Much of the film is centered around an angry Haddonfield mob, led by Tommy Doyle (Anthony Michael Hall), attempting to track Michael Myers (James Jude Courtney) down, leading to a tragic outcome when an escaped mental patient, Lance (Ross Bacon), is mistaken for Myers and ends up leaping to his death.
Couple this with the mob's laughable, cult-like mantra of "Evil dies tonight!" and it becomes impossible to take seriously anything Green might be trying to say about the dangerous power of an angry mob.
All people really wanted out of this movie was to see Myers slaughter a bunch of people and for Green to set the stage for the final showdown in the next movie.
Instead he got totally, pointlessly extra with the social commentary and embarrassed himself as a result.
