Halloween Kills is a 2021 American slasher film directed by David Gordon Green and written by Green, Danny McBride and Scott Teems. The film is a sequel to 2018's Halloween and the twelfth installment in the Halloween franchise. The film stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Nick Castle, who reprise their roles as Laurie Strode and Michael Myers, with James Jude Courtney also portraying Myers again. Judy Greer, Andi Matichak, and Will Patton also reprise their roles from the previous film, with Anthony Michael Hall and Thomas Mann joining the cast. The film, which begins precisely where the previous film ended, sees Strode and her family continuing to fend off Myers, this time, with the help of the Haddonfield community.

Jason Blum serves as a producer on the film through his Blumhouse Productions banner, alongside Malek Akkad and Bill Block. Before the release of the 2018 film, McBride in June 2018 confirmed that he and Green were originally intending to pitch two films that would be shot back-to-back, and then decided against it, waiting to see the reaction to the first film. Following the critical and commercial success of the 2018 film, development on the sequel promptly began as early as October 2018. By February 2019, Teems was hired to co-write the script. The film's title was officially announced in July 2019, along with its sequel. Principal photography commenced in September 2019 in Wilmington, North Carolina.

Halloween Kills had its world premiere at the 78th Venice International Film Festival on September 8, 2021. Following a year delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and was theatrically released in the United States on October 15, 2021, by Universal Pictures; it will also stream on paid tiers of Peacock for 60 days. The film received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for the film's kills, references, and the performances (particularly from Curtis, Greer, and Matichak), but criticism for its screenplay and direction.

A direct sequel, Halloween Ends, is scheduled to be released on October 14, 2022.

Plot

On October 31, 1978, Deputy Frank Hawkins accidentally shoots and kills his partner in pursuit of spree killer Michael Myers, before preventing Michael's psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis from executing him outside of Michael's childhood home. Forty years later, after being stabbed and left to die by Michael's new psychiatrist Dr. Ranbir Sartain, allowing him to escape with him, Hawkins is found by passing teenager Cameron Elam, who sees to his wounds and calls an ambulance. Awakening, Hawkins regrets not allowing Michael's execution and resolves to kill him himself that night.

Later that night, Tommy Doyle celebrates the 40th anniversary of Michael's arrest and imprisonment at Mick's Bar, alongside longtime friends Marion Chambers, Lindsey Wallace, and Cameron's father Lonnie, all of whom had previously escaped from Michael, before toasting in the name of Laurie Strode. Elsewhere, driving away after locking Michael in her basement and setting it on fire, Laurie, her daughter Karen, and granddaughter Allyson are horrified when a group of firefighters arrives to put out the fire, freeing Michael from the basement. Using their rescue tools against them, Myers kills all of the firefighters before taking their truck to drive back to Haddonfield. At Haddonfield Memorial Hospital, Karen and Allyson submit Laurie to emergency surgery to see to her stab wounds, while at Laurie's house, Sheriff Barker arrives to find the corpses of several firefighters and police officers in a pile, before proceeding to the hospital to interview Karen and Allyson.

At Mick's Bar, Lonnie receives a phone call from Cameron informing him that he is at the hospital, just as a wireless emergency alert goes off informing the bar of Michael's escape, with the local television displaying a mug shot of his face alongside that of Lance Tavoli, another escaped prisoner. Upon hearing the news, a bar patron, Vanessa, heads outside to her car only to apparently find Michael inside. Immediately running back inside and informing the bar of this, Tommy grabs a baseball bat and leads a mob to confront Michael as the car is driven away and crashes around the corner, as the driver leaves on foot, unnoticed by the mob. Calling Lonnie, en-route to collect his son, Tommy arranges to form a larger mob to hunt down Michael before he can kill anyone else. At the hospital, Karen learns that Michael is alive, information which she decides to keep from Laurie so she can recover. As Michael kills an elderly couple elsewhere, Cameron invites Allyson to join his father in hunting Michael, equipped with guns, to which Allyson agrees. In the hospital, Laurie and Hawkins awake and reminisce about their former relationship – Hawkins is implied to be Karen's father.

Elsewhere, Lindsey and Marion are attacked by Michael while driving Vanessa and her husband Marcus home, after stopping to talk to a group of children playing hide and seek with him at a playground – all except Lindsey are killed, who hides from Michael in an embankment beneath a nearby bridge. Tommy, Lonnie, Cameron, and Allyson subsequently find Lindsey alive, before calling an ambulance to see to her and the others' bodies. As Tommy leaves with Lindsey in the ambulance, Lonnie, Cameron, and Allyson map out where Michael has previously been that night and deduce he is going home to his family's house. Deciding to confront him there, the trio begins driving to the house. At the hospital, Hawkins tells Laurie that Sartain had driven Michael to her house to attack her and that Michael himself had likely forgotten and did not care who she was by the time they reunited, questioning what her obsession has cost her. Meanwhile, Tommy reunites with the former sheriff and the hospital's security guard Leigh Brackett, whose daughter, Annie, Michael had previously killed, and organizes a larger mob of hundreds to hunt Michael, informing Laurie of his survival; Laurie berates Karen for keeping this information from her. After Michael is apparently spotted again at the hospital, Tommy leads his mob after him, forcing "Michael" – Lance Tavoli, the other escaped prisoner whose mugshot had earlier been displayed alongside Michael's on television, whom Vanessa had earlier spotted – to jump out of the hospital's window to his death. After berating Tommy for his actions, Karen receives a text message from Allyson informing her that she is going to the Myers house. Tommy then calls Cameron, telling Lonnie not to go inside the house until he gets there.

At the house, Lonnie decides to go inside alone to investigate, leaving Cameron and Allyson behind. Upon hearing gunshots, the duo enters the house themselves, armed with guns, only to find the two homeowners and Lonnie dead upstairs and in the attic – Michael subsequently kills Cameron and breaks Allyson's leg, throwing her downstairs. Before Michael can kill Allyson, he is stabbed in the back with a pitchfork by Karen, having arrived at the house with Tommy. Ripping Michael's mask from his head, Karen leaves the house with Allyson. Turning to find a maskless and furious Michael to have followed them outside, Karen decides to taunt Michael to lead him away from Allyson, using his mask and the name of his sister Judith to get his attention before leading him to Tommy's mob in a nearby alley. After reacquiring his mask, Michael is swarmed by the mob and seemingly killed, with Karen delivering the final blow with a knife to his back. Karen leaves to be with Allyson as the mob slowly disperses. When Brackett attempts to execute the downed Michael, Michael reaches and grabs knife at his back and swings it to slit Brackett's throat, before taking out the entire mob one-by-one as they returned, concluding with Tommy, killing him with his own baseball bat.

Returning to the Myers house to find Allyson safe as police and paramedics arrive, Karen steps away after sitting with Allyson to stare at Judith's old window, visualizing a story she heard earlier about Michael endlessly staring out the same window. Entering the house and going to the window to look out it, Karen is confronted by Michael and stabbed to death. Elsewhere, Laurie stares out of her hospital room window while Michael stares out of his.

Production

Development

In June 2018, Danny McBride confirmed that he and David Gordon Green had originally intended to pitch two films that would be shot back-to-back, and then decided against it, waiting to see the reaction to the first film:

"We were going to shoot two of them back-to-back. Then we were like, 'Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. This could come out, and everyone could hate us, and we'd never work again. So, let's not have to sit around for a year while we wait for another movie to come out that we know people aren't going to like.' So, we were like, 'Let's learn from this, and see what works, and what doesn't.' But we definitely have an idea of where we would go [with] this branch of the story and hopefully we get a chance to do it."[7]

In September 2018, producer Jason Blum said that "we will do a sequel if the movie performs".[8] By October 2018, after the film's opening weekend, McBride confirmed that early development on a sequel had begun.[9]

In February 2019, Collider exclusively confirmed Scott Teems was in talks to write the script, having collaborated with Blumhouse Productions on several projects in development. Teems had also written a story treatment for the film prior to the negotiations. Blum, Malek Akkad and Bill Block will return as producers, while Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer and Andi Matichak are expected to reprise their roles.[10]

Pre-production

In June 2019, it was reported that a sequel would begin filming in September 2019, with Green returning to write the script and direct and Curtis, Greer, and Matichak reprising their roles from the 2018 film.[11] On July 8, 2019, Bloody Disgusting reported that the studio was not only considering filming both sequels back to back, but also releasing both of them in October 2020.[12] On July 19, 2019, Universal Pictures revealed the titles and release dates of two sequels were announced: Halloween Kills, set to be released on October 16, 2020, and Halloween Ends, set to be released on October 15, 2021.[13][14] Green will direct both films and co-write the scripts with McBride, and Curtis will reprise her role in both films. Teems was confirmed as a co-writer for Halloween Kills, while Paul Brad Logan and Chris Bernier were announced as co-writers of Halloween Ends.[15]

Casting for extras were announced in late August 2019.[16][17]

Casting

On July 26, 2019, it was confirmed that Nick Castle will return for both sequels for some scenes as Michael Myers with James Jude Courtney again playing Myers for the majority of the films.[18] On August 26, 2019, it was announced that Anthony Michael Hall would join the cast as Tommy Doyle, a character portrayed by Brian Andrews in the original Halloween film.[19] Paul Rudd, who played Doyle in Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, was approached to reprise his role, but declined as he was unavailable due to his commitments to Ghostbusters: Afterlife.[4][5]

On August 30, 2019, it was announced that Kyle Richards would reprise her role as Lindsey Wallace from the original film.[20][21] Charles Cyphers was officially confirmed to return in October, his first role in a film since Methodic in 2007.[22] On September 5, 2019, it was reported that Robert Longstreet would play Lonnie Elam, a character from the original film.[23] On September 27, 2019, Nancy Stephens, who portrayed Nurse Marion Chambers in the original film and its sequels Halloween II and Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, was cast to reprise her role.[24] Jibrail Nantambu is set to reprise his role as Julian from the previous film; while Victoria Paige Watkins and Brian F. Durkin joined the cast.[25] In May 2021, it was revealed that Thomas Mann would appear in an undisclosed role.[26]

Filming

On July 19, 2019, a spokesperson for Blumhouse Productions confirmed that Halloween Kills and its sequel Halloween Ends will commence production and filming in Wilmington, North Carolina at the same time.[27] The movie commenced filming September 16, 2019.[28][29][30][31] According to a film permit obtained from the city, there will be a news reporter scene giving updates on the events of the 2018 film.[32] Filming in Wilmington on September 20 to 21 involved a car wreck scene.[33] Additional photography included simulated gunfire scenes on September 27, September 30, and October 1.[34] Additional filming occurred on October 16, 2019.[35][36] Filming concluded on November 3, 2019.[37]

In an interview, Andi Matichak revealed that filming was planned back-to-back with Halloween Ends but did not occur due to the "intense schedule".[38]

Release

Halloween Kills premiered at the 78th Venice International Film Festival on September 8, 2021.[39] The film was originally set to be theatrically released on October 16, 2020 but in July 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was delayed to October 15, 2021.[40][41][42] On September 9, 2021, it was announced that in addition to being released in theaters the film would also be streamed on paid tiers of Peacock for 60 days.[43]

Reception

Box office

In the United States and Canada, Halloween Kills will be released alongside The Last Duel, and is projected to gross $35–40 million from 3,700 theaters in its opening weekend.[3]

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 45% based on 86 reviews, with an average rating of 5.4/10. The site's consensus reads, "Halloween Kills should satisfy fans in search of brute slasher thrills, but in terms of advancing the franchise, it's a bit less than the sum of its bloody parts."[44] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 42 out of 100, based on 31 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[45]

Reviewing the film for TheWrap, Asher Luberto praised the return of cast members from the 1978 film and wrote: "Green seems less interested in rewriting the Halloween playbook than in giving audiences what they came for, from ghastly scares to a ghoulish score. It's a strategy that promises to make the series as immortal as Michael Myers himself."[46] /Film's Marshall Shaffer gave the film 7.5/10 and said: "There's good reason to be excited for how Green will bring this all to a head in his grand finale. Halloween Kills manages to put a playful but petrifying spin on mythology without resorting to cheap self-referentiality."[47]

Owen Gleiberman of Variety wrote: "Halloween night may be Michael Myers' masterpiece, but Halloween Kills is no masterpiece. It's a mess — a slasher movie that's almost never scary, slathered with 'topical' pabulum and with too many parallel plot strands that don't go anywhere."[48]

Sequel

In July 2019, the film was announced alongside a direct sequel titled Halloween Ends, which is scheduled to be released on October 14, 2022.[14]
