Every Halloween Movie Ranked From Worst To Best

Plot: After a group of firefighters accidentally save Michael Myers from Laurie Strode's burning house, he continues his rampage.

Halloween Kills was delayed for a year thanks to... you know, but unlike other delayed 2021 horror movies like A Quiet Place Part II, Candyman or The Conjuring 3, this one was worth waiting for.

A ferociously intense, eye-poppingly gory and relentlessly punchy thrill-ride with an unbelievably high body count and a never-ending barrage of suspenseful and genuinely disturbing set-pieces, Halloween Kills is an immensely effective slasher film. It isn't scary but much like its immediate predecessor, it compensates by being suspenseful and unsettling.

Another impressive thing is that it makes you care about its many victims. The dialogue can be a little cringe-worthy, but the script does make the characters likeable and feel real, so you care about their fates.

Halloween Kills has been divisive and there are definite issues with it. The plot is paper-thin, some of it is pretty illogical and Jamie Lee Curtis is completely wasted, so it's certainly not a brilliantly-written film.

Nonetheless, this is a good instalment of the series and while it's not got much in the way of depth or character development, it is thoroughly satisfying as a bare-bones slasher thrill ride and it's safe to say most will take this over the majority of the franchise's other films.
