Not a disappointment, not a surprise

Uncle Mai is as always a quiet killer. It seems that he knows the truth that the villain will lose if he talks too much. When the reporter took out the mask, the entire mental hospital became frantic, implying that the film itself was vaguely magical, so Uncle Mai could be resurrected after being hit by a car and stepped on the head. thing, it's normal.

American police are as useless as ever, which seems to be the default rule of American cinema. It's also good to be a foil to send people's heads.

The atmosphere is rendered enough, with various familiar pictures and methods of death, making the audience feel that the blue man is back!

So as an old viewer who has watched the series, I express that I am not disappointed.

What's missing is Lowry's final counter-attack. Lowry has been preparing for this for 40 years, and has made a lot of foreshadowing in the early stage of the film, which has already made the audience look forward to it. And Uncle Mai has already reached super god after maliciously sending people's heads in front of him. Audiences whose appetites have been swayed, what they need at this time is a hearty counter-attack to vent their emotions!

Let the grandmother madly abuse the murderer. As for Uncle Mai, he won't fall down easily. It doesn't matter if he demolishes the iron gate with his bare hands, his hand is broken by a shotgun, or he is reborn from a severed limb. In short, it needs to be ignited, so don't worry about whether it is reasonable or not. Legendary characters have magic in themselves. Color, what the audience wants is one word - cool! How cool how to come. In the end, the old grandmother trapped Uncle Mai in the basement again, came to a desperate counter-kill, and burned the murderer who was not afraid of guns to death, and the whole climax came out.

But, it's like that in the movie. The grandmother has been preparing for forty years, except for four headlights, there are no organs in the courtyard. Why don't you put two traps? This thing is also a commonly used prop for horror movie bosses. Isn't it cool to use it to kill bosses? Then the doors were all iron gates, but the windows were all open. . . And when you see Uncle Mai coming, you should put down the iron gate. Why wait for Uncle Mai to come in before running out to close the iron gate? Then lie down on the door with the glass window and block the door. . . Not dead can only say that the director released water. And then opened the door with the barrel of the gun more than once, is it because Uncle Mai can't catch it? And there are so many guns at home, not a few shots in total. You are all determined to take revenge, why don't you get an M4? And you only have a long gun with you, so you always have a spare pistol, right? I also turned off all the lights. You are a long-range, and Uncle Mai is a melee. Who benefits from turning off the lights? There is no surveillance camera in the basement, at least one must be installed at the exit? What if Uncle Mai was waiting beside him? Are you still going out? Then the old grandmother came out alone, and went to Uncle Mai from one room to another. Yes, the host and guest were reversed, and Uncle Mai had the advantage. Who is this? The director had no choice, so he forced the grandmother to protect him. Uncle Mai killing others was like chopping melons and vegetables. All of them were instant kills, but they couldn't kill the grandmother. The daughter finally made a good plan, but Uncle Mai fell, and she just didn't make up the gun.

Therefore, the climax that should have been in the end did not rise, which was quite anticlimactic. It is recommended that the director see how Home Alone is designed.

Halloween quotes

  • Aaron Korey: We're here to investigate a patient that killed three innocent teenagers on Halloween, 1978. He was shot by his own psychiatrist and taken into custody that night, and has spent the last forty years in captivity.

  • Allyson: Everyone in my family, like, turns into a nutcase this time of year.

    Vicky: If I were you guys, I wouldn't celebrate either. I would just put up a Christmas tree instead. Skip over all the creepy Halloween shit, right? Does your grandma ever talk about it?

    Allyson: Yeah, it's pretty much all she talks about. It defines her life. She's been traumatized ever since.

    Dave: Wasn't it her brother who, like, cold-blooded murdilated all those teenagers?

    Allyson: No. That's just a bit that some people made up to make them feel better, I think.

    Vicky: I mean, that is scary to have a bunch of your friends get butchered by some random crazy person.

    Dave: Is it, though? Because, all things considered, there's a lot worse stuff that's happening today. And like, I mean, what, a couple people getting killed by one guy with a knife is not that big of a deal.

    Vicky: Dude, her grandmother was almost fucking murdered.

    Dave: And she escaped, and they caught him, and now he's incarcerated. I-I'm just saying, like, by today's standards...

    Vicky: Just shut the fuck up, Dave. Shut up.
