The Forever Purge

This is unexpected. Everardo Gout’s fifth film in this Blumhouse franchise is arguably the best since the 2013 original. After a few lackluster sequels, the creator of the franchise, James DeMonaco, returns to write a movie that feels more current and vital than most modern horror films. It helps that Gout has a definite eye and sense of pacing that horror sequels often lack, and it helps even more to have a whole talented ensemble working on the same page, including Ana de la Reguera, Tenoch Huerta, Josh Lucas, and Will Patton. The script flirts with the idea that we are now in the age of anger in a way that feels relevant to the world today without being didactic. And Gout doesn’t skimp on the action either. The final act kind of falls apart but that first hour is as impressive as this series has been in years, maybe ever.

“Halloween” (4K)

Listen, I know that the “Halloween” movies have been released on Blu-ray and DVD maybe more than any other franchise. It feels like there’s a new special edition every single year. There was just a massive box set last year. Why should you buy them again!??! Well, the hook in this year’s special editions aren’t related to special features or packaging or collectibles but purely transfer-related. The first five films have all been given 4K scans from their original negatives with approval by the people who made them, and, yes, you can tell the difference. I re-watched “Halloween 2” to prepare for “Halloween Kills” (and was glad I did) and the colors are more defined, and the dark, shadowy scenes at Haddonfield Memorial Hospital seem richer. The sound mix is also tighter and more impressive than ever. Do you NEED to get them all again? Probably not. But if you don’t have them yet and “Halloween Kills” has gotten you all excited about Michael Myers again, this is the way to go.
