RUNNING TIME: 208 minutes.
Halloween - The Strode Story is a complete remake of the earlier edits:
Halloween - The Confrontation, Halloween - The Mass Killings, and Halloween - The Last Stand.
I came up with the idea while working on a 4K upscale of The Last Stand.
I noticed that certain things weren't quite right in terms of timing, and it was difficult in some respects to combine the Halloween trilogy into one film.
I removed the 4K edition of The Last Stand, as well as the other 1080p versions, which were a combination of David Gordon Green's Halloween trilogy.
David Gordon Green's trilogy are definitely not masterpieces.
The first one from 2018 was quite good, but the sequels after that were a mess.
I absolutely hated the idea in Halloween Kills that the people of Haddonfield thought that the deranged patient who resembled the penguin in Batman 2 was Michael Myers.
It was all too fake, completely implausible, and the dialogue was incredibly childish.
Halloween Ends was a complete disaster, especially with Gorey Cunningham, his relationship with Myers, and all the nonsense that goes on in the sewer.
I made the first Halloween from 1978 in black and white, in the adaptation ‘The Confrontation’.
Done as a flashback, but in this new version, completely in color.
The new edition revisits the events of 1978, combining them with the 2018 edition.
From that point on, it continues with the scenes in Halloween Kills and finally in Halloween Ends.
As I said, Halloween Kills, with its chaotic hospital scenes and the escaped patient whom they think is Myers, has become a disaster scene.
That is completely gone in this version; this character has been completely removed from the adaptation.
Stupid dialogues and some scenes with Curtis's overacting are gone.
Finally, Halloween Ends, the film was, for me personally, a very disappointing conclusion to the trilogy, and what I have done with it
focuses solely on the confrontation between Michael Myers and Laurie Strode.
Strode is waiting for Myers for the last battle with him.
All the material, including added scenes not used in the original, is in 4K quality.
Sound is in AC3, 5.1
