Love the new score!!!! The film it goes to... not as much. Saw it today with a friend and we agreed on all points. Some rushed scenes, dialogue, and way over the top bloodbath. If you enjoy that sort of thing... you'll love it.
Still looking forward to the "final" installment, but worried it may be worse due to the time constraints in getting it out next October.
Lastly, a TON of homage to the first films.
You're mileage may vary

Seems like reviewers just were out for blood this time after praising the predecessor.
Or it‘s reviewers who disagree with this film‘s timely topic of vigilantism.
I think it is a great sequel, with more on its mind than the usual slasher film, and the score works very well. Looking forward to the last installment.

I haven't seen the movie yet but am enjoying the album. Some excellent stuff here..............moody, atmospheric, tense.

Wanted to like the film but it's abysmal. The writing is awful in every aspect. The ending made me laugh. Film has lots of well-done gore.
It would probably go to much into spoiler territory. But to call the writing "awful in every aspect", and the ending making you laugh, I am in doubt what you consider good writing.

For me....
I thought the writing could have been better. Too much of the same phrase being said over and over to the point one could make a drinking game out of it. Also, repeating dialogue from the first film verbatim was kind of lame. Also some of the violence was so far over the top it did not fit with this particular killer's history. I know it's a slasher film and over the years the audience seems to want more, but I expect the "more" when I see a Rob Zombie film... not in this series.
Great Homage to various aspects of the franchise throughout.
Roommate and I have seen it twice now (2nd time through the Peacock network) and it didn't get better the second time around. Don't get me wrong, we liked it, but it was not as good as the last installment and felt rushed.

From all I heard, this new sequel is pretty darn stupid. Apparently, the makers decided that plenty of gore deaths are more important than suspense and actual tension. I've never been the biggest fan of slasher movies, but I enjoyed the original HALLOWEEN movie, and also its sequel, HALLOWEEN II (though I did not care for some of the brutality). In these two movies, Michael Myers was a very strong psycho killer, but he was also "human", not supernatural, and certainly not a martial arts expert, as he appears to be in HALLOWEEN KILLS, as even the trailer reveals he takes on a half a dozen trained fire fighters in open field combat and wins.
Michael Myers is a brutal psycho, and these are horror movies, some people will die grizzly deaths, I understand that. But the original HALLOWEEN at least had Donald Pleasence as his foe, a no-nonsense gun-toting psychiatrist who would not hesitate to shoot a few extra rounds into Michael just to make sure.
HALLOWEEN KILLS, by all accounts, doesn't seem to care much about any of its own characters, they just all seem to be there to be stupid and killed off. HALLOWEEN 2018 had at least a few interesting moments.
I might watch HALLOWEEN KILLS eventually when it shows up on streaming, but I have not high hopes for it. I might get the soundtrack though.

I loved it even though I don’t like gore at all. I thought the focus on the rest of the community reacting to the events of this ongoing night was well made and the workings of mob mentality a timely comment on the political situation.
I recommend watching this with an open mind.

I really wish that you had used the spoiler feature to cover up that text, as I did. I was planning on watching it for the first time tonight and didn’t know about those deaths. Please go back and edit your original post for the benefit of others who haven’t seen the film yet.
