About this deal

If the 2018 reboot was the continuation of Laurie Strode's story and how that infamous night forty years earlier had impacted and devastated her life, this follow up is the story of the town of Haddonfield itself and how it has or hasn’t dealt with those same events.

Transformations (1080p, 5:50): How the film explores more of the story from 1978 in this film from 2021.

Not a hint of milkiness or grey, the blacks remain as deep as the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

But it’s the omnipresent LFE that breathes real life into the film – the wonderful LFE underpinnings of the Carpenter’s score means the room is filled with deep, rich bass from almost start to finish and it's glorious.The detection of subtle background sounds, off camera cues and spatial dimension within the room’s acoustic environment is notable. And so, it all leaves us with an overall feeling of this being somewhat of a missed opportunity to build on the solid work that Halloween '18 did: a solid theme and premise, with a great Michael and brutal set of fan-pleasing kills, but with far too much narrative redundancy and a sense of a film waiting for its next part rather than being a satisfactory entry in its own right.

The overall colour palette also benefits from the HDR grades, bringing greater luminance and vibrancy to primary colours. There’s some solid BTS information here – the 1978 transformations piece is by far the most interesting, showing how the team recreated locations and characters from 40 years ago, but the majority of the remainder of the featurettes are of little real value. The 1080p transfer looks terrific and this Ultra HD rendering takes it to the next level with a discernible increase in detail, emboldened highlights, both light and dark, and a noticeably vibrant image. Note: Both the theatrical version, which I watched during my evaluation, and, an Extended Cut (which adds four minutes) are included.Even sparsely used, there are still some great overhead effects - Michael stomping around upstairs during the 1978 flashback sequence or the mass of people running through the hospital.

Principal photography began in September 2019 in Wilmington, North Carolina and concluded that November. Halloween Kills elevates the body count and ramps up the style but ultimately adds little of worth to the franchise. Very good but not quite as successful as Part 1, this parts the filling in the trilogy sandwich remember. Examples can be found during the inferno in the cabin and, Michael’s assault on the group in the car near the park.

Recorded together they’re an engaging trio with Curtis and Greer filling up a lot of the track with recollections working on the film and other tidbits.
