Review Detail

This was a great edit combining the first two Halloween movies. If I had never seen them before, I would have believed this was always how it played out. I didn't miss any of the material removed from the first movie, and it helped to tighten up the pacing quite a bit. I did notice more of the material that was cut from the second movie, but it was all of the worst parts, so the removal was a huge improvement! Because the cuts were so drastic it really did help keep the focus on Laurie, and without Michael's side of the story being told, Loomis' frantic search feels all the more hopeless. To me, Halloween's ending has always felt a bit anti-climactic, and Halloween II has always felt like an unnecessary epilogue to the original. LastSurvivor has upgraded both movies to feel like the more cohesive single movie they always should have been.
