Early on I was enjoying the mindless slasher flick, especially the jaw-droppingly brutal kills. Unfortunately the characters in this movie are all morons. All of them. One more time for emphasis: ALL OF THEM. A hundred moments that make me shake my head or throw my hands up in exasperation. I even had to pause the movie a couple times and close my eyes to comprehend the stupidity.
Other than that, this is a pretty bad movie in general. The acting is poor all around. Cliched lines of dialogue and cookie cutter conversations. And overuse of fan service without serving a purpose. Scream 5 did this the right way. (1 viewing, 3/4/2022)

There are so many dumb moments I want to talk about but I don't have all night. So I'll only mention a few. Like how the 3 characters from the end of the last movie are all so sure that Michael Myers is dead and are all so shocked when they find out otherwise... but we saw early in the movie all three of them yelling when the fire trucks were heading there. "Don't save him, let him burn." Soooooo why were they so sure???
But the scene that really hurt me to my core is the car scene at the park. How many things can be wrong in 3 minutes? Well start by having the driver be the one to leave the car and check on the kids... why the driver of all people. You know a killer is on the loose.
When Michael jumps on the roof, they want to get out of the car, but the doors are locked....................
.............
Is this a cop car? No. Child locks? Dunno. Terrible writing. So the wife in the nurse outfit smartly jumps out of the window and she has a gun. But maybe 90 seconds go by and she's nowhere to be found. I wondered if she just ditched her husband. After the husband is killed, the wife now comes back to shoot Michael, but she's like 30 feet away from the car, walking towards it......................................
.........................
What possible scenario could have caused that to happen. And she shoots multiple times into the car with her husband in it without knowing he's dead. But whatever, you have the jump on Michael, he's in a small space and you have a gun. But of course you walk right up to him and allow him to kill you.
Dumbest. Characters. Ever. I wanted them all to die and I was happy when he killed them all at the end.
