Hot Take: Halloween's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Director clearly thought Halloween was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Unpopular opinion: Halloween is the most overrated film of the decade
Rewatched Halloween last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Halloween?
Everyone praising the Halloween performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
