SPOILERS AHEAD!!! YARRRRRRRR!

I fucking LOVE the first fifteen minutes with Jamie Lee Curtis' literal kiss goodbye!  

Well, that is until 2018 when the Hollywood showed up at her house with the Brinks truck, shoveling sweet green leafy spendy monies onto her front lawn.  The end of that opening pre-credits sequence was dumb as fuck and I loved it!  The rest of the movie was just full of stupid.  One of the few things that I liked was seeing Katee Sakhoff in an early role.  She's got charisma that helps the picture but not enough to save it.  The music?  I guess it worked.  I can't remember anything about it one way or the other.  There's so much dumb shit in this thing like how the six participants have shitty cameras that look horrible to us but are crystal clear on the in-movie bank of monitors.  Cutting between the horribly fuzzy video from those cameras to the actual movie footage was annoying and distracting.  I was ready for this picture to end halfway through but I persisted since I'm determined to get through the rest of this series.  I can see why this movie was the last one until 2007.  Since I've seen the two Rob Zombie pictures (which I really enjoyed), it's the 2018 film next and then I'll sit down and remember something about HALLOWEEN KILLS (2021) which I watched a couple of weeks ago.  After that I'll wash my hands of all this and move onto something else.
