Halloween Kills debut today in Venice and so far things aren't looking great.

Here's what the critics so far are saying:

Variety --- A complete mess that lands in the same repetitive and empty swamp as the other sequels in the franchise.

The Hollywood Reporter --- Violence and gore is ampted up at the expense of actual scares or suspense. Jamie Lee Curtis is wasted.

The Playlist --- Doubles the body count but slashes its IQ in half. Hardly any fake-outs, red herrings, or surprises.

IGN --- A dark, angrier film, but one that feels like table-setting for the finale next year.

With 11 reviews, the film currently has a 46 on Metacritic, a 19-point drop from the last installment.
