I must put my hand up and admit I enjoyed this - although I went in with zero expectations. While I didn't like what they did with the Sally Hardesty character (awful performance, too), I thought the gore was good value, and I liked the short running time. In the whole messy and confused franchise, I think it's better than the 3D one and the Jessica Biel one, so it's not the worst in the series. I also thought it was way better than the last Halloween.
Fair dues. I didn’t get anything out of it at all (other than the well done squelchy gore). The Sally Hardesty thing was a complete waste of time, and I was honestly checking my watch after 45 minutes wondering how much more I had to sit through.
I didn’t see Halloween Kills, I heard it was shockingly bad, so will have to be really bored before I get to that one.
