   I thought this was very exciting. I have now nearly collected the whole collection of Halloween and the next one when it is out, I shall have to buy to complete my whole collection. Everything about it was exciting even though Michael Myers keeps on getting up and surviving no matter what is done to him and usually I don’t like things like that; I like more logic than that, but this series was very good.

   Halloween Kills Extended Cut (2021) region free Blu-ray with slipcover.The movie itself is a welcome addition to the Halloween story and follows on directly from the end of last one though it’s presented in very lacklustre packaging for such a beloved horror franchise.The product:This edition came with a slipcover which has a mat finish and the exact artwork as the inlay. The inlay is single sided (just white on the inside). The disc has artwork of Micheal Myers but no actual film title. Both Theatrical and extended versions are included on the one disc Inc an alternative ending.Theatrical Version: 1 hour 47 minsExtended Version: 1 hour 49 mins•Audio: Dolby Atmos and in English only with optional Audio Description and subtitles.•Picture: Widescreen 16.9 / 2.39:1 which means there are large black bars top and bottom of the screen, it may be my player but picture Zooming is blocked so the picture cannot be enlarged to fill the screen.•Disc: Regions A,B and C. (Region free).Extras/bonus content minus commentary adds up to just over 36 mins. These range from 53 seconds to 11 mins each, they may as well have made it one bonus feature, Play All can be selected.Bonuses are extras so I should not look a gift-horse in the mouth but they are very minimal and edited annoyingly fast jumping from brief interviews to on set and behind the scenes footage with music layered over the top like they were made for quick time restrained TV slots.Commentary is by Director David Gordon Green, and stars Jamie Lee Curtis & Judy Greer and is worth a listen.It’s a new film so picture and audio are top quality.Menu choices are in symbols at the bottom of the screen, choosing one puts the content to the right of the screen.The pop up menu is selectable while the film continues playing (small screen within the screen) but to change from Theatrical to Extended versions is not so easy without ejecting the disc as there is no Home or Main menu option among the selection symbols, which is frustrating if you pressed play on the wrong version.The movie:The mixture of new and original music, recreated sets and even cherished characters from 1978 make this a good sequel to see, Myers is ruthless and relentless providing expected and creative kills making it a fun ride, later on the film wonders off into the dangers and stupidity of mob mentality territory, with the chanting of “Evil dies tonight” becoming tiresome and the grown up Tommy (babysat by Laurie Strode in 1978) running around like Rambo is quite comical and out of place.Hopefully Halloween Ends will feature a lot more Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis) who’s presence is very minimal in this film, and and with more creative packaging used for physical releases, at the least a double sided inlay is not too much to ask for!

   Jtbone – November 2, 2024

   hab mir die englische Fassung gegönnt, weil ich nicht noch bis Ende Februar warten wollte. Klar, es fehlt die deutsche Tonspur. Das ist aber zu verkraften, weil gerade die Dialoge und das Over-Acting aller Beteiligter vor allem einiger Randfiguren (Nase ganz vorne: Anthony Michael Hall) sicher DER große Schwachpunkt des Films sind. Der zweite Schwachpunkt ist ein fast völliger Mangel an Suspense, wie sie noch den Ur-Halloween von 1978 ausgemacht hat. Das war es aber auch schon mit Schwachpunkten. Anonsten ist der von Schockmomenten, Jump-Scares und reichlich Gewaltspitzen dominierte Film ein 1a-Slasher, der die gealterte Horror-Ikone Michael Myers grandios und wie eigtl. noch nie zuvor gesehen in Szene setzt. Perfekter Soundtrack. Viel gutes Retro-Feeling in großartiger Blu-Ray-Qualität. Auch das gröbere Korn und Filter in 78er-Flashback-Sequenzen kommt schön im Bild zum Tragen. Jamie Lee Curtis erscheint in der Story-Line vollkommen verzichtbar. Es bleibt abzuwarten, wie Halloween Ends im Oktober diese Kurve wieder kriegt.Die Extras sind kurz und knackig und triefen vor Blut. Der ca. 4-5 Minuten längere extended cut wertet den Film m.E. nach erheblich auf, enthält dann auch mehr Suspense und Gewalt und ein m.E. nach deutlich besseres Ende.Klare Empfehlung.

   There have been some disappointing sequels in the franchise..however..this is not one of them.A great beginning of the end of a true legacy.A must see for any Halloween fan for sure..and a have to see for any true horror cult classic fan.
