WTF! WTF! WTF! Save yourselves! DON NOT WATCH!
Who ultimately survives Michael's rumble with Laurie ends up not mattering, since the film itself shows such little signs of life.
What a disappointing end to the Halloween reboot trilogy. Halloween Kills was so unbelievably good that I was excited to see what's next, it turns out that this film is vastly different. I'm aware that the filmmakers wanted to try different approach with this final entry but I wasn't expecting this messy. It's more of a drama, villain origin story, dark romance with some slashing. Definitely not an easy task to pull this off, but you can clearly see the struggle. The focus shifts on this new kid's descent into darkness which largely feels underdeveloped and hollow, with some super corny romance thrown in, cornier than people chanting 'evil dies tonight'. I find it super weird and get so frustrated because of how the kid got the main focus when this film is supposed to finish Laurie and Michael story which started a long time ago. Also, the romance part feels forced, downright cringy and unnecessary. Like seriously, who thought that it was a good idea?! The slashing is brutal and fun, at least, although you won't see the incredibly menacing Michael Myers like in the previous film. It honestly makes me appreciate Halloween Kills more since that one is the most 'slasher' out of 3.
They replaced Jason with a worm in Friday the 13th Part 8 and even that was a better idea than whatever they did in Halloween Ends
What a disaster. Nothing works in this movie. Although on paper the characters are the same as in 'Kills', they have nothing in common. The screenplay is full of incomprehensible nonsense. You really sit there for 111 minutes and wonder: What were they thinking? While "Kills" at least had creative Slasher moments, "Ends" has nothing - really nothing at all.
'Halloween dies tonight', I guess. At least until the inevitable next one.
Wow very disappointing I am glad that I did not pay to see this this is the worst Halloween movie ever
Rumor has it that Michael Myers and Jamie Lee will have a dance off. Once and for all.
3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Halloween Ends’:
You’re tasked with creating a franchise-ending chapter of a legendary horror series with the iconic star/character that started it all, and this is what you put together? A “final” Halloween film that’s barely about Michael Myers. GTFO. Missed opportunities GALORE.
The relationship with Laurie and her granddaughter starts out healthy and promising. A nice setup for chaos to ensue. Two seconds later, Allyson is ready to ditch her family for a random dude. So many out-of-character moments that made zero sense.
This wasn’t the film to introduce (and focus on!) a character like Corey. Maybe mid-franchise this could have been done to mix things up a bit. Friday the 13th kinda sorta did that, where the killer wasn’t always Jason. But NOT this time, not when you’re touting a final face-off between Michael and his Final Girl. You’re setting your fans up for disappointment.
Bonus Thought: I’m officially pretending that this new trilogy never existed, back to when Laurie Strode was Michael’s sister and everything made sense.
Look at how they massacred my boy (and this franchise). :pensive:
I think I made some similar remarks with the last one, but what the hell is going on with the dialogue and acting here?
The way most scenes are constructed is downright bizarre to me.
Is it aiming for camp, or Shyamalan weirdness, and just flying over my head? I don’t get it.
Regardless, it’s once again very vanilla and mostly free of any genuine tension. Boring camerawork, very bad editing, tame, uninteresting characters, it’s atrocious and highly forgettable by every account.
The only remotely interesting part is the prologue.
3/10
I had so much expectations going into this, with reason because this is promised as the closing chapter for Michael and Laurie. It does promise on that and gives us an end but that's about it. It doesn't offer much compared to the previous two entries in terms of centering on Michael and Laurie. We instead focus on this new character who's now the main character. What a confusing and bizarre direction for a final installment. The unnecessary romance subplot and cringe one liners didn't help either. It feels erratic, disjointed and is victim to bad writing. I found myself questionning Laurie's state of mind throughout it's like we don't know the character anymore which is weird after so many films. They should of focused on that instead! And answering a few questions about the "origin of evil", giving an explanation for the existence of the supernatural being that is Michael Myers - we get none of that!
What I liked about it is that it's very unpredictable they did good on that. At no point in the story did I predict what was going to happen (except for the stuff in the trailers, that's bad marketing!). The opening was amazing and made the movie quite promising. The third act is wild and you sure get a payout I was on the edge of my seat but whatever comes after is questionnable.
Overall this is a very lackluster ending to the Halloween trilogy and i'm baffled at the writing decisions. It's unsatisfying and I don't feel like i've been given a closure. At least we know why this was dumped on streaming day one.
This is atrocious. How this has the Halloween name on it is beyond me. Why are these 30 years olds acting like edgy, emo 15 year olds in an MCR music video? Why is Allyson so willing to go along with all this, and why is she so stupid compared to how she has acted in previous movies? Why does it feel like no one gives a shit and wants nothing to do with this production of this beloved franchise? The root message here about evil being born or created is an interesting one, but the implementation is some of the most amateur, hamfisted dialogue and storytelling I've ever seen, especially in a high profile franchise film like Halloween.
I was one of the few people that gave Halloween Kills the benefit of the doubt. I enjoyed it's metaphor-lead plot about mob mentality and the instigators being no better than the original perpetrator; but I felt it had middle movie syndrome that comes with being a planned trilogy. It couldn't push far enough because the finale still needs to be made so it just has to awkwardly tread water. Comparatively now to Ends, it appears they were just stalling for time. They had nothing left in the tank and were simply delaying the inevitable for this creatively bankrupt franchise.
Does that mean there is nothing of merit here? Not quite. The intro babysitting scene is very good and really sets your expectations far too high for the rest of the movie, and the compilation of kills throughout the last half of the movie are still decent enough for pure slasher fans. There is equally enough throwback visuals and easter eggs that will either be fun or annoying dependant on your tolerance for nostalgia bait and audience winks.
I'm just glad it's finally over, which I guess is the worst thing to say about a revival trilogy of a beloved franchise. Almost poetically, Mike Myers met his end just like this franchise. Slowly being chopped, cut and impaled until it didn't represent itself anymore, bleeding out slowly before being dramatically crushed before our eyes.
Just got back from seeing this, I'll get right to it, Halloween does indeed end the Michael and Laurie Strode Arc once and for all and very fittingly at the end. However The main prob with this one is, Micahel must have been hanging with Jason Voorhees or Freddy Kruger Planning their next Vs movie, so they decided to get a random guy (Corey Cunningham) and make him the main killer for pretty much 90% of the movie, all while wearing Michael's mask.
Now I don't know about you but when I walk into a cinema to see Michael Myers do his thing and end an epic saga, I don't expect to see someone essentially standing in doing the killing as it were (when killing actually starts) for the majority of screen time. To cap it off, they build up Corey's character of a killer babysitter and then do nothing with him, just kill him off in the end, so I have been sitting there for over an hour now waiting for Michael watching this play out and it doesn't go anywhere. Now if they had built this up for Corey to be the new Michael (well I would have still questioned it) but it would have made sense whey there was all this padding and filler until Michael stepped into frame, especially if you watch previous 2 before which I did, where Michael kills 12 Firemen in just once scene alone, this should have been an epic Halloween battle a crescendo of a finale but for majority its pretty hollow..
Honestly you can literally skip the first hour, hour and a half and then splice the rest onto the end of Halloween kills and bam you got your ending. The epic finale of Michael vs Laurie didn't even take that long, and even longer for them to get face to face.
Also Michael actually getting killed was kinda weird, being this iconic indestructible character actually getting killed for once, but yea it did its thing for the end of this story, he'll be back in a new iteration I have no doubt (As long as they stick with just him)
For the most part watch Halloween 2018, Halloween Kills 2021 and then last 45 mins of this one and you got your trilogy basically.
A strong beginning gives way to a disappointing ending. These are words to describe my both feelings about this movie and the trilogy as a whiole.
This film has had a lot of hate, well it wasn’t has good as Halloween kills but it did give it a good go and don’t go into it thinking it’s going to be your normal Halloween film because it’s definitely on a different level and unexpected but with it still having it’s bloody action that was decent with some good effects, it’s average cast and plot that wasn’t bad but not brilliant I enjoyed it and happy it lived up to it’s title and I’ve got no hate for it
I don't think this movie is as bad people are making it out to be.
And "hardcore" Halloween fans will come out saying this is homage to what John Carpenter would have wanted.
But that does not excuse the poor storyline progression out of this Halloween Trilogy.
There are still some pretty cool kills, but overall, this movie was just "OK".
Here’s a non spoiler review for people who love the franchise… don’t watch this movie and just tell yourself the franchise ended with Halloween kills
Worst. Buddy. Movie. Ever.
I refuse to pay this mess more attention than it deserves, so I'll just say it's a ludicrous story filmed atrociously. (The party scene alone is literally unwatchable: POV You're the vomit.)
I never thought I'd see a Halloween movie I hated more than Halloween 3, but Halloween Ends takes the cake and then shits all over it.
Halloween Ends indeed, but not soon enough and it never should've even started.
the last two Halloween films have been absolutely sh£t :disappointed_relieved:
I get what they were trying to accomplish but it didn’t work, it just didn’t work at all…
The first 2 Halloween movies are the best. I was not impressed with this at all :-( i mean damn.....Halloween 3 was better then this!!
Clunky story writing but it’s finally come to an end
I needed 5 words to submit a comment, hence this preamble.... but this is all I wanted to say.... W T absolute F!!!!!
It's extremely funny to me that the bullies were a high school marching band. You have Corey, a grown-ass man, getting pushed around by some teenagers. It was a weird decision to have the "last" Michael Myers movie barely have Michael Myers. Hell, Corey's mom was the scariest person in this film.
"The truth is, evil doesn't die. It changes shape."
Oh boy this has caused some controversy huh? I’ll admit the Halloween 2018 film was exciting, but then Halloween Kills took a turn for the worse, so I wasn’t expecting too much from this. Well, it is definitely something else. I think I am just tired of Laurie Strode story, and while Corey was a new character, I was tired of him at the end as well.
This is as if the writers got lazy as hell
Michael Myers has a that’s so raven moment
can't believe they didn't focus more on Laurie's and Michael's story :cry:
I found myself wanting to turn this off while watching a few times. Terrible story and didn't even feel like part of the Halloween series. It was rather boring.
Dumb! Do not watch, its really not worth your time...
Rohan Campbell is a terrible actor
whose idea was it to make a Halloween movie that barely has Michael Myers in it? what a disappointing end to the trilogy
A little too disturbing of a beginning that doesn’t even have anything to do with Michael Myers himself. Plus they love violently killing kids too much in this new trilogy. Which is even a bigger turn off than killing dogs or cats in Horror movies.
Also a little late in the game to introduce a new character named Corey wrongly accused of murder. With everything more about him than Michael. It feels like a Halloween movie but a slow one with not enough Michael Myers.
It’s more about Allyson falling for Corey as he loses his humanity more and more. Sorry, but for the last of the series. We want Michael, not a poser.
The movie isn’t the Laurie and Michael centered movie we wanted. You’d think it would be one big revenge movie since Michael killed Laurie’s daughter. Instead I am not sure Laurie even mentions her daughter once.
Halloween Ends doesn’t remember it’s about Laurie and Michael until like the last 10 minutes. It is a decent but totally unfocused movie. That tries so hard to be not what you expected it to be. However you might wish it was predictable and the movie you were hoping for.
So much hassle and such a simple end to Myers' epic? ;) And the screen time he had like some minor supporting actor.
Jesus, this was way worse than what most people have said about it. I watched it out of curiosity when it was part of Amazon Prime.
Nothing makes a lick of sense at all - either in what they are doing or why. The writing is piss poor, and there is nothing even remotely scary about this poorly done attempt at a cash grab. I’d rather watch any of the original sequels than this re- hashed dumpster fire. Avoid.
“I've run from you. I have chased you. I have tried to contain you. I have tried to forgive you. I thought maybe you were the Boogeyman. No, you're just a man who's about to stop breathing.”
Yes, I am writing this during the Christmas season. Sue me! Anyways…
Here it is, the end of this 50-year later Halloween saga. A rocky journey over the four years, with the body count being higher, blood everywhere, and a compelling take on the Michael Myers lore. The Halloween movies have so many reboots you have different versions of the serial killer himself. Even then, the Halloween sequels are often dull and constantly get worse. There is the brother and sister angle, the cult angle, etc. None of it matters.
So, Halloween Ends; is it the end? Of course not, don’t be silly. If Michael cannot die, what makes you think the franchise will unless it bombs at the box office; then it is the end. But is it a solid finale? Not quite.
I appreciate the filmmakers, or whoever, for trying something different and some unexpected choices for the franchise rather than the usual stabby-stabby. But why are you doing this now, with this being your final movie of this timeline? They should have been wrapping things up, not introducing something enormous that could have been its movie. The shape himself is barely in the film, despite what the trailers lied to you. I remember seeing this movie in an almost-packed cinema with some people wearing Michael Myers masks. However, mid-way through, I could sense the audience was losing patience.
I guess people want to see two old people beating the shit out of each other.
There are some things that I did like about it. The cinematography and the score are easily the best parts. The opening Halloween theme had me bobbing along to the catchy beat, especially with the cinema speakers. The opening sequence was a mixture of shock and unintentional comedy. There was some solid acting throughout. I also want to mention James Jude Courtney, who has played The Shape in these new movies, and he has done a fantastic job of making Michael scary and brutal again. While not as gory as the last movie, there were still some solid deaths, especially one death scene involving a blowtorch. At least this timeline has a proper ending, unlike the other films, which got abandoned due to messy circumstances.
As I said before, I respect them for taking risks, but sadly the writing lets it down. I mean, the theme for this new timeline is “evil” and how evil is like a virus, etc. It is mentioned repeatedly throughout these new movies that it quickly becomes irritating.
How about the final brawl between Michael and Laurie Strode? Well, I found it to be unsatisfying.
Overall rating: I have mixed feelings about this one. Although, I can see this having a cult following in the future, like Halloween III: Season of the Witch & Rob Zombie’s Halloween II. Who knows - this movie can be someone's favourite entry in the series. Then again, the whole finale angle is pointless since we all know the franchise is not dead forever. Give it 5 or 10 years, and we will get a new timeline, story-line, and brand-new kills for horror fans to gush over.
By that time, a new Michael will terrorize Halloween night again, and a new franchise will take shape.
Movie was garbage you don't interpret your tag line into a story just end it
What is annoying about this film is not so much that at this point it proposes a new antagonist, a kind of Robin of Boogeyman, because it raises an interesting premise about the transmissibility of evil ("Evil never dies, it only changes form"). The problem is that this idea does not get developed, and here it becomes in a promising approach that leads to a really stupid story.
Really bad, and I'm a fan of Halloween. No terror, minimal gore and terrible story.
Michael is barely a secondary character in his own movie! What a crap way to to end this trilogy and the franchise. Just skip to the last 20 minutes if you really want to see the ending, the rest of the film is just 80 minutes of inconsequential filler.
Followed the last scene of Halloween Kills beautifully with closer to 2 hours of pure trash
how do you mess up so badly? Give me the last 20 minutes of the movie stretched out over an hour Gore violence blood.. No one wants context with their Michael Myers!
Why???
That is all I have to say....
Michael Myers pulled a Luke Skywalker.
Weird thing about this trilogy is all parts were directed by the same guy but each part feels completely different, first feels like an old Halloween, second as a parody and third like the director took too much acid. Nothing really works here and the only thing good about this movie is its name which is really fitting as they definitely ended Halloween.
Wow. Halloween has a love story... I would rather watch Rob Zombie's Halloween II. This wasn't the worst movie ever but I will never watch it again. It is an insult to the legacy
I guess if you are going to end the trilogy, they made sure there is no coming back.
I couldn't decide between 1 star or 5 stars. This felt like a compromise.
Halloween really did "end" for me with this one. I'm reading where Blumhouse says this is the final movie under Blumhouse production and the rights go back to whomever and "blah blah blah, more movies…blah blah blah..." but this is where Halloween Ends as far as I'm concerned. This was not a "bad" movie (although judging by the ratings and comments it clearly doesn't get the love that some of the other films garnered) but it was so far removed from the feel and storyline of the original Halloween franchise (plus, let's face it: Michael is...what, 50-plus now, maybe closer to 60 years old? How long would he be able to keep this up?) and with the absolute feeling of closure at the conclusion of this film that, yes, this is it as far as I'm concerned. I know there's talk about other Halloween films coming out (maybe already in production?) but for me, Halloween Ends with this one. I applaud - and love the fact - that Jamie Lee Curtis was wiling and able to come back for several of these late films and reprise her role, and honestly, she's one of the main reasons I kept watching these, in spite of how awful some of those in the middle really were. Here, though, we have just a disjointed, weird storyline that, as mentioned earlier, doesn't tie in with the original and their attempts to ... I don't know... pass the torch?... to a younger Michael "wanna-be" just didn't work in my opinion. Obviously not in the screenwriters' opinion either, since they killed him off late in this movie. The acting was better than adequate in this film and even the dialogue was a cut above the rest of the movies in this franchise. Certainly there were some plotholes big enough to fly a plane through, yes, but we're talking about a horror movie so everything has to be taken "unseriously", even if it is intended to evoke a sense of fear. There were some "side stories" that added absolutely nothing to the film (the whole "office promotion/sleazy slut" thing; what was that about and who cares?) so they could've probably pared this down and made it a bit shorter, but at just under 2 hours (1h 51m) it's still watchable. Some viewers despised this one but I felt like it deserved at least a teeny bit of love for the kill scenes (nothing original so don't get your hopes up) and especially for the tidy way they finally wrapped everything up at the end of this one. Someone, somewhere, will undoubtedly try to revive this battle-weary franchise (I hope not) but for me, this is where Halloween Ends . Not sorry I finally watched them all, but I see no reason to ever watch them again. RIP, Michael Myers.
Although I appreciate the attempt to offer something slightly different for once, this is not how you should end a trilogy. Not after they spent the whole second film preparing us for an epic showdown between the two protagonists, with a more enraged and invincible Michael Myers than ever before. In this anticlimactic final chapter, he suddenly becomes a dumb old man hiding in the sewers, getting his ass literally kicked by anyone. The little they could set up throughout the first two movies, it gets conveniently taken care of within the last ten minutes. The remaining two hours are spent on characters who ultimately led nowhere. Well, see you in the next reboot!
My favourite of the most recent three, if not of them all.
'Halloween Ends' gave me more than I was expecting, if I'm honest. After the solid if slightly underwhelming 'Halloween Kills' I thought this may fall further adrift but, happily, it doesn't. I think that I like this the most of all twelve entries after the original, which is probably still a jot above this one in my mind.
I won't repeat myself too much as I've summed up my overall thoughts on this franchise in prior reviews of those other flicks, but in short I enjoyed this release more consistently throughout and the characters actually interested me a fair amount.
Jamie Lee Curtis is, obviously, the star of the show, but Rohan Campbell is a great addition and Andi Matichak gives her best showing of these David Gordon Green films. In previous installments the cast behind (or sometimes in place of) Curtis have failed to truly entertain me, perhaps aside from the first one and (minimally) 'Halloween H20: 20 Years Later', but here I was happy to follow the scenes involving those behind Curtis.
I will say that the third act lost me a little in terms of interest, though that's only ever so slightly as all in all I had a good time with this. Let's hope they end this franchise here but I highly doubt that they will - gotta catch that £!
So, much has been said about Halloween Ends already, and it's mostly negative, which is deserved.
The tragedy here is that this is a great movie, it's just not a Halloween movie in the slightest. This is the story of young Corey Cunningham, and Michael Myers shows up for a few minutes.
It's not an indication of good writing if the main character of a slasher franchise is the low point. I was fully invested in Corey, but then Laurie, and Michael have to ruin it. I have not liked this Green trilogy, and I'd have to say that Ends is the best, and simultaneously the worst of the three. Can I get a Corey cut?
Look, it's clear the writers, and director, know how to make a compelling horror movie, but it's also painfully obvious they don't know how to make a Halloween movie. I realize the writers were attempting depth in some moments, but the parts I am talking about just make the residents of Haddonfield seem like irrational, violent idiots. I mean, it's fine if that's what you're going for, but why? And stopping for a moment to think about it, maybe passing the blame is not such a new flaw in Halloween movies. Perhaps it has been here the whole time! Bad writing dies tonight! Bad writing dies tonight! Who's with me?!
Story aside, what are we all here for? The kills. So, how are they? Well, most of them are off screen, but the kills we see are fantastic.
I thought the soundtrack choices were strange; made me feel like I was watching a Nicolas Winding Refn movie.
This is such a piss-poor send off for Laurie, and Michael, in this incarnation, at least. We all know, despite the ending, Michael Myers will never die; he is not fueled by evil, but money. One and the same? Who's to say?
What a tremendous letdown. I gave this a 5/10 - when at one juncture, it was up to a 9/10 - every point was earned by Rohan Campbell, and Andi Matichak. They were amazing and I would love to see them both in more horror films.
a very random story in this one
I understand all the criticism this movie is getting. For diehard Halloween fans, I can see how this could be disappointing, maybe even frustrating, given how they completely sidelined Michael. But as a casual watcher who didn't really enjoy the first two movies in the trilogy and is getting tired of the formula, the attempt at something different was a mildly entertaining surprise.
Do not know why they made another movie, what a disappointment.
Given most comments here, I would say I’m I. The minority! The first one in the new trilogy was excellent. Halloween Kills was ok by comparison and I’d put Ends somewhere in the middle.
Likes: I thought the passing of the torch approach was interesting. They’ve always toyed with MM being “just a man…” bordering on super natural, and I think this approach fit that narrative.
Liked the approach with Corey and Allison but it felt rushed. I would have like them both to go a little more psycho together.
Dislikes: clunky screenplay and pacing, like others have mentioned here. Given they really only focused on the 4 main characters for most of it, it could have been a little more engrossing.
Also, not many (any?) new and creative kills and the angry Simpsons mob didn’t really float my boat.
Otherwise, I had no expectations or thoughts of how they should have ended it so I was entertained.
Not quite as stupid as its immediate predecessors, but close. The biggest narrative problem here is the devolution of the Big Bad, which is poorly handled in a rushed and uneven way -- and one that largely makes Michael a footnote in his own sendoff.
And on an entirely different point, I particularly don't like how Curtis took Laurie from being a tough but classy character to being a coarse and foul old lady. Of the many examples of it to be found here, perhaps none encapsulates it all as much as "show grief your fucking tits." That line strikes me as being pure Curtis, who seems to have been committed to sending off Laurie as someone only marginally better than white trash.
Wrapping up the latest reboot of the franchise, Halloween Ends is a rather boring and uninspired horror film. Four years after the Michael Myers attack that took the life of her daughter, Laurie Strode is writing a memoir and living with her granddaughter Allyson, and grows concerned when Allyson starts dating the town pariah, Corey Cunningham, who accidentally killed a kid while babysitting. The absence of Michael Myers in the story is noticeable and hurts the film tremendously. Without Myers on the prowl, there’s no sense of impending danger. Instead Myers is used more as mentor to Corey, or a possibly a manifestation of his violent urges (depending on one's reading). Also, the kills are lackluster and don’t really have any stakes. Halloween Ends repeats the mistakes of the past (veering the story away from Myers) and fails to deliver a satisfying conclusion to what was begun in the 2018 film.
Why why WHY ON EARTH would you introduce a new character in what's supposed to be the conclusion of a story? I mean, a new character shouldn't be an issue in its own, but in this particular way? Felt like there was some real fighting going on in the background as to who the real protagonist should be here, because the new kid is being pushed so much into the limelight I really had a hard time trying to decide. And not just in any story either, but in a well-established franchise with such an iconic/notorious main character.
Two sins in this one, as far as I'm concerned. It doesn't feel like a Halloween movie - Michael has so little screentime, especially when coming from the first and second movie, it feels like he was downgraded to a side character. Again, in what's supposedly the final chapter of his story. The second being - it doesn't even feel like a horror flick. Those gears take so much time to start to turn and grind, I was getting worried I'd fall asleep before they kicked in. The previous two entries, for all their faults and missteps, had those boxes checked, got the important parts right. They felt like a unit, going together, basically back to back. This also one starts out with some weird setting and time skips that basically displace you right from the start - at least the shift in focus to drama that follows continues to keep you at a distance.
Really disappointing.
Jamie Lee Curtis always the best. Good ending of this saga.
Each to their own I guess. I thought this was a fitting end to a decades-old storyline. The series had just run out of steam but this last installment made up a bit on some of the previous dour entries.
So much better than Halloween Kills! Was very invested in everyone's story and damn, that was a helluva of an opening sequence!
Much better than Halloween Kills, and it gives the franchise a nice (temporary?) ending.
My thoughts throughout this trash
I’ll ignore the rushed story because my biggest complaint is…. WHY DIDN’T YOU JUST FUCKING NAME HIM JASON OR MASON HE HAS THE PSYCHO MOM LIKE HIM BUT NOOOOO NAME HIM COREY CUNNINGHAM AND MAKE HIM LOOK LIKE JEFFERY DAHMER MIXED WITH TED BUNDY (I get they don’t own the rights to jason voorhees)
We’re they so short on money they had to use obvious plastic Pumpkins at the store lol
is PTSD not a thing in these movies??
I pray that this movie ends with Micheal killing Corey and Laurie and going into hiding again
After Corey took his mask, he better die, I can not handle a trilogy with Jason Cunningham and Allison
for the love of god don’t make this movie the :asterisk_symbol:we are retiring the main character so we’re introducing the younger new one who was mentored by the main character:asterisk_symbol:
is the car trouble going to be a cop out later???
I miss the “Micheal does tonight” every 10 seconds
YESSSSSSS STABBING COREY WAS PROBABLY THE BEST THING SHES DONE IN 4 MOVIES… even tho he’s probably not dead
YESSSS MICHEAL DO WHAT YOU WERE BORN TO DO
time for Laurie to go next
Plz don’t kill him off
IF HE DIES MAKE HER GO WITH HIM
STOP THIS FUCKING MADNESS I CANT TAKE IT, HE BETTER GET UP IN THE GOD DAMN MORGUE OR SOMETHING TO SAVE THIS GOD FORSAKEN TRILOGY
this good guy wins is stupid and lame asf if Micheal doesn’t come back
I’ve never hated something more in my life then watching them destroy his body, no one cares about Laurie and her granddaughters stupid story, because the end credits will probably be Jeffery Cunningham coming back to life, this is almost as bad and stupid as the Dexter mini series finale
Wow after finishing it the Halloween legacy is as good as dead now, what a terrible way to end the franchise, Jurassic world, Star Wars, Dexter, game of thrones all ended with rushed stupid endings. Almost seems like they intentionally make shit endings so fans never ask for it to come back
The breathing at the end better not be Jeffery Cunningham
Halloween is potentially my all time favorite series. So when something is advertised as the final showdown between Michael and Laurie, I expect a heavy emphasis on just that. When the movie goes a totally unexpected route, it is bound to be controversial. With this being said, so much care went into this movie and it’s apparent. Certain shots, overall filmography, many kills, it’s all great. But when it’s not the movie people want, it’s gonna catch some flack. I think this movie is easily the weakest of the new trilogy, but what it tried to achieve, it did achieve. It may been better if they did various things, but it will age decently and I think time will heal the bitter peoples opinions.
Rating: 3.5/5 - 8/10 - Would Recommend
The movie that promises the final face off of horror most iconic duo and from which the only good memory you will have is a tongue. They should legally forbidden to do any more movies and forced to delete this one.
Evil died tonight... hopefully..
Even with all canonicity, capital temptation, and Carpenter himself admitting he'd approve another for the right price tag, they damn well wanted this to be the swan song of Laurie's saga, and I absolutely want to give them credit where it's due. Even in some parts, crafting a chilling atmosphere that almost rings Villeneuve or Haneke. I hadn't felt so terrified in a movie theater in such a long time, making this a fantastic appetizer to the many more horrors in the continuing month. Our audience were clapping and cheering while Don't Fear the Reaper played over the credits.
But even through all of the corporate bullshit, this film still strongly cements itself in Carpenter's visions, which is something I can't say for the films previously in this trilogy. Jamie Lee Curtis is still a goddamn badass, most so in this picture, and reminds one of H20. The downside being the terribly generic teenage revenge story. Also, if this is supposed to be 2019, why is everyone dressed like its the 80s? It feels like time itself is so bizarrely skewed, and perhaps they were going for some sort of phantom storyline along with the message of "moving on from your demons", which although cliche, is inarguably fitting for the Halloween saga.
This might be a weird comparison, but look at what FNAF did with their then-last game of it's trilogy (fnaf3); taking the mysteries and stories of this decrepit haunted shithole, and crafting it to something of ancient evil. Confronted again, putting a final rest to something persistent and demonic. And although happy endings are played out a lot, it feels ever-present and necessary in both franchises, despite their continuation. Michael is dead. Let him stay that way.
You've got to know where you came from to know where you're going.
I can’t tell if this is a genius homage to every Halloween sequel wrapped in one, a sly “fuck you, now I can make the movie I want”, a huge misstep or all of the above. I do feel like this will be one of those movies people champion in a few years.
:heart:x6
This was an unexpected entry into this series. This movie was quite a bit different from any and all of the previous movies. Not sure why they did that.
Having said that, the movie was still quite interesting. And what a send-off for Mr. Myers. There's absolutely no way he can come back from that - right?
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
Start good, end good, in between, WTF? too much Corey
The movie fails because it fails to make you care about the two main characters (which are not Laurie and Michael).
The victims are so ridiculously evil, you can't wait to see them killed.
These Halloween films will always be a mixed bag, like a bag of Halloween candy. I thought it was fine; plot-wise probably not everyone's cup of tea, and I recognized a few surprising faces that appeared in Ends that probably would fly over folks' heads (original actor for The Shape and Darcy :wink:), some neat little details and references sprinkled in there (transition of the jack-o-lantern pumpkins in the classic style intro, The Thing '82 on TV, old photos from the '78, reflections on the knife and blood, key notes on the piano, camerawork). Overall, I still think the trilogy of sequel films is a nice alternative timeline told by Blumhouse, and it was just neat to see one way of how one would tell an ending to this story.
Lock the doors or let
himitevil inside :knife:
Anyway, I'm already waiting for there to be a Season of the Witch trilogy! :jack_o_lantern::mage::skull:
I'm glad they finally scrapped Halloween
If this is the new normal than pls never make any new movies pls... we saw it from slasher s4 how bad it can be...
Well well knifes can hold him down now? xD
I knew when i saw the pea cock logo... xD
So bad they can ruin all stuff like in rl ... :/
Maybe it’s ahead of it’s time or maybe I smoked too much beforehand, but it’s a great movie! Eye candy cinematography, gorey kills, and a deliverable storyline that’s reminiscent of ‘Jason Lives’ in concept. It was a very campy movie which gave it an 80’s flare but with modern age movie tech. This movie makes me excited for future slasher films!
Better than Kills for certain. The cinematography is the best thing about it for me showing Haddonfield on a much grander scale. The dialogue is also a lot better than Kills bar a couple of scenes. I liked the Corey character but felt they could have took a lot of aspects from Ends and used them in Kills instead and had this one mainly about Laurie and Michael. Not brilliant but at least it's a bit different.
I wanted more, but I did get what I craved to a certain degree. This is going to be very divisive. Many will want more Michael while others will be satisfied w enough evil to go around. It wasn't great but I still feel somewhat satisfied. 6.6
Only good part about this was the soundtrack
This is definitely the worst in this new trilogy. The acting was awful, the story was so stupid. Once again I had hopes for the franchise, and once again I was disappointed. :person_facepalming_tone1:♂:face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

Me After watching this shit once:
I found a Liquor store afterwards...
"And Drank It".
This abomination is not just the absolute worst Halloween movie ever it's the worst Horror movie of 2022 by far, and their has been some Garbage.
This piece of crap makes
Rob zombies Halloween 2 remake watchable it's that bad. This was a pathetic piss-poor disappointment that was a spit in the face to all the fans. They single handedly buried the 44yr legacy in 1 fell swoop.
Absolutely God Awful.
"What an Insult"
And no matter what terrible movies come out in the future now this utter Garbage will be the new measuring stick for
how bad something can actually be.
The only legacy left behind for this
franchise is that the last
movie was the
worst in cinematic history
:poop:Congratufuc@inglations:poop:
This piece of shit flips
the bird:middle_finger:
To all the fans of this once great franchise.
YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK...GOOD RIDDANCE.
Abysmal and Shambolic
and to try and justify this utter piece of shit as a Michael Myers movie is false advertisement and fraud.
A complete Insult
To the legacy and the fans
And one big gigantic middle finger to anybody
That has had the unfortunate experience in watching this crap-fest.
Fcuking Disgraceful and every single person involved in the making of this bollocks should be ashamed of themselves and never ever be allowed to work on another movie ever again.
COMPLETE AND UTTER NONSENSE
THAT MADE NO SENSE.
THIS SHIT SHOW SHOULD
HAVE NEVER SEEN THE LIGHT
OF DAY.
"THE WORST MOVIE EVER MADE"
(why: easy this was not a
Halloween movie at all,
fcuk sake it was barely a movie,
I tell you what it was:
A big steaming pile of Shit.
X FINAL THOUGHT
Verdict: Halloween Ends
Sucks and Sucks bad
and is pretty much Unwatchable.
