I'm VERY conflicted with Halloween Ends.
I wrote this on FB: "I'm very torn on this one. On one hand, as a capstone to this new trilogy, it's a bad pay-off. Pretty flaccid. On the other hand, it's actually well-made, acted, paced, and intense as a stand-alone film.[snip]
Well made trash is still trash. The quality of acting, directing, etc. means nothing if the script sucks.

It's actually worse to me. You had a whole cadre of talented, highly paid individuals that knew it was shit, and just polished it anyways.
What the fuck they doing?

I'm probably the only guy that doesn't care about nudity in horror.

I don't need it in everything but a Troma film from the 80's set on a lake. I was surprised by the lack of skin

Yeah I disagree completely, but I should know that going in with this site. So further commentary is pointless.

While I haven't seen his 90's work, this is so far definitely better than Argento's latter work that I've seen. Even if I don't remember Mother of Tears very well (I don't recall hating it, or loving it, but clearly it was forgettable), and his Dracula was just terrible across the board. This really feels like the Dario of old, only less surreal (it fits best with Tenebrae, really).
The music is killer.
