...learn in the opening scene that the killer is six-year-old Michael—but 99.99% of you already had the twist spoiled for you, so take a couple of shots in mourning. For the three people whom I just ruined it for, drink the same. Mea culpa. 2. Every time Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence) speaks. His Frankenstein-esque lines like “The evil is gone!” and “I realized what was living behind that boy’s eyes was purely and simply—evil” are so ridiculously...

It is unclear whether his words will amount to a mea culpa similar to those pronounced by John Paul II back in 2000 for the sins of the Church over past centuries, including persecution of Jews and heretics. Brazilian Cardinal Claudio Hummes, who heads the Vatican office for the clergy, sent a letter to bishops around the world in January, urging special prayer sessions...
