Two legends in one movie?! It’s a no-brainer that at least one of them would be recognized for their performance.
Malcolm McDowell gives 110% every time, right out of the gate, in every role. And it’s no different here. His reimagining of Dr. Loomis is brilliant.
Brad Dourif makes this movie. His character is put through the trauma-laden ringer, and Dourif never gives anything less than everything he has!
