6.75/10
There’s a lot of gold here but you have to dig through the garbage to find it. Couldn’t fucking stand the protagonists in this but loved Leatherface and the kills. It definitely borrowed from Halloween 2018 and was fairly formulaic. Sally Hardesty was, by far, a lesser Laurie Strode story and the whole gentrification ground work was eye-rolling but that could’ve just been the weed. Come the sunflower field scene and the dawn of the violence of the piece. The bus scene crushed it and I loved the live-streaming of the violence.
Again, hated the little shits that kick this flick off but l loved ol Bubba. He dominated the movie and was incredible in all his glory. The slaughtering was palpable and I loved the very end; it felt so help(head)less.
