Viewing Notes

I really like the first half of this but the second half suffers from awful pacing and editing, only to be somewhat redeemed by the ending. Having recently watched the new HALLOWEEN, I can say with confidence that portions of it feel like a remake of HALLOWEEN IV which is a little strange.

Also, the audio mix on the stream from Shudder was terrible. Midway through the voice tracks became nearly inaudible while the soundtrack and sound FX were cranked. Made for painful watching.
