It is October 28th as I write this and so naturally one is thinking of Halloween -- not the holiday but John Carpenter's movie, I mean. I think in movies exclusively now, ya see. But with this franchise it's hard not to -- the original film was released 41 years ago yesterday and its star Jamie Lee Curtis is out there right now still playing Laurie Strode for the first of two brand new sequels, Halloween Kills for next year and then for 2021 (the no doubt deceptively titled) Halloween Ends.

When Rian Johnson announced a star-studded murder mystery in the vein of Agatha Christie, you didn’t think it would just be a straightforward genre exercise, did you? As he has shown in films such as Looper (and to an extent Star Wars: The Last Jedi in its brilliant eschewing of franchise dogma), Johnson delights in subverting our expectations of genre ever so slightly. Knives Out film is no exception, not only turning the ensemble comedy into a rollicking eat-the-rich satire, but also taking the standard whodunit plotting and repositioning it with exciting reinvention. Even if your tastes consider the book mold stodginess of Christie to remain delicious, Johnson’s modern narrative take should satisfy even purists.

For that matter, have I? Let’s dive into one and the other, n’en parlons pas...
