I really only had two issues with this movie, and Corey wasn’t one of them.
1. As you stated, the marketing. It set us up to expect this epic final showdown between Laurie and Michael. But their final showdown ended up being short and pretty anticlimactic. I felt it was false advertising, kind of like being lied to.
2. At the end of Kills, Michael has just obliterated everyone. He was an unstoppable killing machine. I can find zero logic to dictate why he skulked off to sewers to hide from the world after that. It just didn’t fit with what they’d shown him to be. It took me right out of the movie and I couldn’t get back in.
Agreed. Is he indestructible or not? They couldn’t make up their minds.
if you read the ends novel, you would know what lead Michael to hide out in the sewers.
@@toddjohnsoneveningnews8870 the made him supernatural I the 2nd movie and gave him DBZ Zenkai battle power lol 🤣 except he needs to keep killing to keep his power level up. But it's never clearly established or explained.... Add the mask aspect into the mix and gets confusing as clearly.Corey is way stronger with the mask on tham without. It had good ideas just poorly executed.
@@coffeebean_tamer not to mention the homeless guy said he was dragging people in there and they never came out... So he was still killing.
a year later....(response). I Think it's because after the myers house was demolished, Michael Had to go somewhere.
My main problem is the story they built up to it Halloween kills is completely gone. The dynamic they built between Hawkins and Laurie strode should’ve been explored more but instead they acted like the two characters hadn’t seen each other in four years. It was ridiculous.
@@insertcoinz yup and themovie made all this clear, but too many folks didnt pay attention
@@millyoneyedeaz1350 they most definitely did not make that clear at all. This movie is the only movie in history that I’ve ever gotten truly mad at. Like super angry and pissed off and feeling cheated. I’ve disliked movies in the past and it is what it is. Sucks, but I move on with my life. With this movie? I can’t think about it without becoming enraged at how they literally bastardized the entire last film with the trash they made. They spent two whole films building up this epic showdown between Laurie and Michael. They were telling a story from one movie to the other. Then this one starts and it just is completely abandoned and we’re stuck watching this random douchy guy beating up Michael Myers and taking his mask? Are you kidding me? This would’ve been ok as a movie not part of this trilogy. If it was separated in cannon or storyline. Some kind of elseworlds shit. But Halloween 2018 and Halloween Kills were two movies telling a specific story and then they just ignore it all in the last one and gave us characters that honestly didn’t even feel to be the same characters. They were the same in name only but everything else about them was totally different. And then how they basically bitched Michael out to this teen douchbag. Two whole movies basically building up his supernatural mystique and aura. Making him “feel” the mask in 2018, then making him withstand a unrealistic amount of trauma and wounds throughout kills and especially the ending. Just to say “no he doesn’t possess any superhuman qualities even tho we basically hinted st it the whole time and even in this trash movie we’re presenting now, making it seem like he has powers he can pass on to Corey or take back but we’re never gonna address it” I’m very passionate about my Halloween movies and this one disgusted me beyond belief. As far as I’m concerned this movie isn’t cannon st all and a total different story took place in my head.
That was my issue as well. 40 years Laurie Strode waited for Michael, while he was locked up. She was on the verge of a breakdown all the time. Michael breaks out and every time he kills he gets stronger? The mask might be important? He might be able to talk? He wants to look out his old bedroom window or look at his reflection in his old bedroom window? Evil dies tonight? I'm sure there are more questions... He kills Laurie's daughter, and disappears. 4 years later Laurie is decorating for Halloween, baking pumpkin pies and telling her granddaughter to find a guy that makes her want to flash her tits. Amazing what that 4 years did for her. Maybe not knowing where Michael is, was better for her? And she got over her daughters murder faster than her friends murders 40 years ago.
@Insert Coinz There is no explaining it, except to admit that it's terribly written. It plays like they got drunk halfway through the planning stages of Ends and forgot to address all the plot points they had created leading up to it. The "story" went absolutely nowhere. Horrible execution from a (supposedly) talented filmmaker. I'm still waiting to see all this talent. It sounds like his new Exorcist film will be amazing....
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Insert Coinz Theres a book?
You say it explain Laurie getting lost in the wellbeing system for 40 years. Does it explain why Dr Loomis didn't help her? As he felt responsible for Michael and would want to help the victims of Michael. Which is why he is hunting for Michael in the first one and not just leaving it to the police.
Does it explain the help she got during the lockdown and got over her daughter's murder and now can enjoy Halloween?
Does Michael get stronger everytime he murders someone?
Was the mask important?
Could he talk?
Why did he want to look out of his old bedroom window or why he wanted to look his reflection in his old bedroom window?
And does it answer the other questions raised by 2018 and Kills that I just can't remember?
Corey should have just been Cameron, could have been interesting cuz his dad was killed in Kills and it would have been an interesting arc and felt more natural. Still don't like the idea though
That's what would have made sense to me too 👍👍
That would have made a world of difference. Unfortunately they didn't plan that far ahead.
Rise of Skywalker all over again
Yeppp agree. Literally everyone wanted Cameron 😂👆
I gotta say I liked Cameron more than Corey cuz in kills the character of Cameron was more better
Danny is writing the new Exorcist movie, now I know it's gonna suck
Your joking that man needs give up on trying make good movie s kills was awesome film loved it all way but end was still Christmas let down in more way than one
Yeah I would have loved to see Corey introduced in the 2018 film as a minor character, then building him up as a lead in Ends. I would also love to see a continuation with Corey as he fully embodies being the "Boogeyman" of Haddonfield, and becoming a new legend in his own right. A new series of Halloween films with Corey as a new Slasher that becomes seemingly unstoppable would have been cool, but of course movies aren't made that way anymore.
Green didn’t plan things out so well. He just flew by the seat of his pants
I think there ways to do it without having him there in 2018 but whether they would have gone down any better I don’t know
Another idea is let Cameron live and have him take over in Ends
@@billmcdermott9647 That would have been really interesting!!! He's already an established 2018 character, and seeing he and Allyson's relationship come back together, only to have him turn evil would have been a tragic love story set within a Slasher.
there's no room for Corey in 2018, and if he was there people would just complain he
"didnt do nothing" like they been saying about Allyson the first two films.
The story doesnt need him there a year earlier
@@millyoneyedeaz1350 They could have made room for Corey if they planned it out, or just used Cameron instead of killing him off.
Danny McBride is just as guilty as DGR in ruining Halloween 🎃 and now they are trying to ruin the exorcist… 😔
Yeah, they need to stay far away from horror. This Exorcist movie is doomed with them on board.
@Insert Coinz well if you watch the theatrical cut he gets injected with weird chemicals and gets beat with a lead pipe until he bleeds green.
Which do you prefer Michael being defeated by magic stones and rituals or beaten to death by a pipe and being injected with drugs.
@insertcoinz lol thank you. It drives me crazy what people are willing to give a pass in the series
Well if they ruined Halloween you can always go back and watch “good ones” like H5, H6, and Resurrection. Those films are definitely much better and not complete shit.
Yeah because Exorcist 2 and the prequel movies didn’t already ruin the exorcist and H8 and RZ Halloween movies didn’t ruin Halloween
I understand that they felt the need to do a time jump, but the fact that they cut from Myers slaughtering Karen in Kills to becoming a reclusive hermit does not make sense at all.
We’ve seen before that he doesn’t care who he kills, so why have him stop before he gets Laurie (or attempts to) for good?
Plus, if you watch Kills’s alternate ending, after Laurie senses that Karen has been murdered, she walks out of the hospital clutching a rusted knife, walking to hunt down Myers.
Now we’re supposed to believe that ending wasn’t canon, because she’s deciding to live happily away from all the drama and bloodshed, writing her own book?
Plus, wouldn’t her reflexes and skills have eradicated drastically in that 4-year time, if she wasn’t looking for him?
Then, when they have their encounter at the end of the film, she wouldn’t have the upper hand so easily.
These were my main problems with the film.
At the same time, I agree there were elements that were good (but not great), but a lot that weren’t. Great analysis.
I personally rank the trilogy as Kills, 2018, then Ends.
👍👍Thank you very much and you did a great job of explaining your thoughts. I appreciate that. I also agree that the time jump was a big risk that definitely broke up the rhythm of the overall trilogy.
@@TheNightwatchZone thanks for responding! Hopefully, DGG will not screw up the Exorcist reboot later this year 🤞🏻
Two things we should be grateful for with this trilogy is the number one the mask is the actual mask and number to James Jude. Courtney actually moves like Michael Myers.
I like how the made the mask to look exactly like the original but in an aged state but in reality the original mask didn't age that well. I saw a UA-cam video sometime ago that featured the original mask and I thought how different that would have looked if they used the actual aged look of the mask in the movie
Agreed 100%. JJC was hands down the best Shape since Nick Castle! It honestly isn't even close! He's light-years better than every other actor! The mask was exceptional too! I just really wish Ends was different.. Don't get me wrong...I'm grateful for the new trilogy.. Just really didn't like the last one.
Two things ?? 2018 a classic and actual Myers😮💨
The trilogy was a huge letdown. And JJC is good, but that doesn't make up for the terrible writing and direction these movies took.
Yes! Moves just like the original! And, John Carpenter Executive produced, his first involvement since ll in 81, I'm an unconditional fan of this trilogy. I think miles above the Thorn mess.
This isn't directed at you, solely. This is directed at everyone collectively who seem to have gripes with the film. And you're civil about this topic, so I appreciate that.
The non-sensical complaints of Halloween Ends:
"Michael was weak in Ends" - Uh, yeah. That's literally the point. Throughout most of Kills, he was probably pumped up on adrenaline. The mob beating absolutely wrecked him. He was dying from years of untreated, infected wounds. And he's 65. He is quite literally an old man. He's still a human, afterall. "The more he kills, the more he transcends into something impossible to defeat: Fear. People are afraid. THAT is the true curse of Michael."
How people cannot understand this is beyond me. People thought she was talking about Michael himself becoming unstoppable, which is why they are pissed off with how he is utilized in Ends. She was literally talking about the fear he creates. The more people are afraid, the more Michael's evil taints the town of Haddonfield.
For 4 years after the events of 2018 and Kills, his presence was felt throughout the entirety of Haddonfield. Haddonfield was just a cesspool of dread and fear. And when watching Ends, you can feel it yourself. Not one point did I not think that Michael wasn't there. He was there the whole time. His evil presence was seeping through every crack and crevis of Haddonfield.
SYMBOLISM people. It's not that hard to fucking grasp.
"Michael got beat up by a nerd who got beat up by band bullies" - This one is my favourite. First of all, at this point in the story, Corey was infected with Michael's evil. THAT'S WHY he was able to go toe to toe with him. With this, it also made him stronger. Also, he never "beat up" Michael. He used Michael's own momentum against him, tripping him up causing Michael's head to smack into the ground.
Secondly, those "band bullies" (I love how people have to shoehorn the word "band" in there) were literally the same size as Corey. Anyone can get their ass kicked by a group of teenagers. You're lying if you can't. What's more, Paul Brad Logan, the screenwriter of Ends and author of the Ends novelization, said in a recent interview, that he himself was once bullied by members of a marching band. The fact that they are in a band is irrelevant.
"It's just an Allyson and Corey love story" - No, it's not that. It's a story about one person's descent into darkness and it showed that his attraction to Allyson turned into obsession because the evil was taking over. THAT is the point of that relationship.
"Michael is hardly even in it" - Okay... But he was there the whole time. You could literally feel his presence seeping through every crack and crevis of Haddonfield. He tainted the town with his evil. And you know, he actually had less screentime in the original. Hell, Freddy Krueger only had about 7/8 minutes of screentime in the original Elm Street. But did that matter? No. Because you could still feel his presence. It's all about quality over quantity. Using him sparingly.
"It's not a Halloween film" - Except, it quite literally is:
a) It continues the story of the OG, 2018 and Kills.
b) Michael Myers is in it.
c) It takes place on Halloween.
How is it NOT a Halloween film? Oh, I get it. Because it's not 2 hours of Michael going house to house, stalking and slaughtering people... Is that what you all wanted? Just a repeat of 2018 and Kills? Then you would all complain that Ends was just the same as the others. Now you complain that it's too different. These filmmakers just cannot win with this fanbase. They made the right choice. They branched out. Gave us something fresh. Something unique. And you know what? I would have them do it again.
Im baffled as you how people are misunderstanding this movie, especially content creators.
As such we have a job to get our facts straight before sharing our work but apparently basing your opinion
on your opinion is the new tactic of the day.
Peopled watched the trailer over and over and never once read the synopsis, but that "Hollywood fault"
DGG explained when Kills came out, Laurie's theory is just that and its not literal,
yet people kept running with "the more he kills, the more he transcends" ignoring the full statement.
This is why they dont recognize how Kills and 2018 set up Ends.
The only thing i would say you got wrong is Michael being weak as he's no weaker in Ends
than any film in the franchise. That kitchen fight with Laurie APES every other fight they had
and she had to do ALOT to finally kill him.
in 78, a knitting needle knocked him out for minutes, in Ends a butcherknife center mass did almost
nothing, he sat right up and he was able to strangle Laurie with a throat slit,
he shouldnt have half the strength he has when she finishes him off.
SOME fans (i refuse to act like them and pretend like we all think the same, and say "the fans")
are just walking contradictions. They're fine with full on supernatural Michael
killing a whole precinct full of armed cops and not having a scratch, but then
cant stop little Rachel Caruthers when all she has is a fire extinguisher
(the foam was too much for him? lol), but Laurie has to fight her ass off
and they're crying he's weak
yep! as a fandom, we're getting as entitled and toxic as star wars fandom.
People cant just dislike the movie, they gotta insult those of us that do,
go on Rohan Campbell and James Jude Courtney IG pages harassing them,
talk shit about the filmmakers and writers.. yup, definitlely sounds like a certain section
of the Star Wars fandom
Apparently, they think should be in charge of what the rest of us gets to see in trailers
and in the stories themselves smh
So glad you pointed out FEAR is what Laurie was talking about in Kills, not Michael's physical power.
They're not gonna listen though, John Carpenter told us Michael didnt have a motive in 78
and SOME fans try to use the sequels to tell him he wrong. DGG already said there's no literal transference
of evil in Ends and ppl are still claiming otherwise.
@@millyoneyedeaz1350 EXACTLY.
it was a bait and switch. they promoted it as the final clash between two iconic characters. they gave us a c w haddonfield high pilot. they could have had THE horror movie of the year; they settled for not even having the horror movie of the halloween season.
EXACTLY. I literally said to my friend in the theatre this should be a CW show called Haddonfield, I'm not even kidding, verbatim what you just said. I said it during the scene when they're riding on the motorcycle set to a hip song. Right on man.
Yeah this movie was a joke. I don't feel like I'm watching a Halloween film at all. The only decent one of the 3 was 2018.
@@SomethingThatSCREAMS you know i didn't truly like any of the recent trilogy. even though there are lots of problems with the structure of KILLS, i GUESS i dislike it the least as i truly HATE 2018 and especially ends. at least KILLS had lots of micharl myers.
@@SomethingThatSCREAMS another major problem is by ENDS they were catering to jamie leigh curtis WAY too much and were giving her WAY too much power/influence/say/control in the film. she was merely parlaying her most well known character into getting more clout in the industry so she could once again give the horror genre in general and halloween / laurie strode specifically the judas kiss off. she has since ENDS won an oscar and everyone was like 'one of our own won an oscar!' i seriously doubt that she herself sees it that way. the most recent trilogy was merely a springboard for her. i remember back in the early 80's after 5 horror films + one suspense film she was dismissive of horror and more than ready to leave it behind. she did amazing grace and chuck along the way and promoted it as being the only film she had ever made that she was proud of. she also siad that of at least one and perhaps 2 other films she did post-horror career. it seems like she said the same thing about the drama domick and eugene. then she hit a career snag and h20 saved the day for her once again putting her back in the spotlight. then 2018 saved her career and history repeats itself. after the way she treated danielle harris and Scout Taylor-Compton recently i am over JLC.
I think Corey had no business donning the Shatner mask and suddenly possessing Michaels next level skill set when killing people, but I would have actually been okay if he kept the scarecrow mask and we had a buddy slasher film. It wouldn't have fit with the third part of a trilogy but I personally might have enjoyed it more.
There was no sudden possession of anything. Corey started off sloppy, then watching Michael work, he learned how to be controlled and stealthy. I do not know what movie you guys watched lol
Let it go, the mask is not special. This "rule" can't nobody else put it on, is fan nonsense. It's not a Shatner or Myers mask, that's just what we call it.
@@millyoneyedeaz1350 Corey sure got the walk and the mannerisms down pretty quick, and went from getting his ass kicked by the HS marching band to feats of fairly supernatural strength. At least in taking out the DJ. I've always said it was stupid in Halloween 2018 and HKK to act like Michael would give a shit about the mask. It's the trilogy that made it a huge thing. And Corey certainly got some new abilities that go a bit beyond gaining confidence.
I don’t think they ever imagined that Halloween 2018 would do as well as it did, and I don’t think they really had a grasp on what they were doing when it went so well and they were left kind of throwing things together for the fans and this is the result
you might want to do some research then, you couldnt be more inaccurate on this.
Imo 2018 should have been the last one but kills was fun tho
@@isaiahholland8519 then why eve watch Kills or Ends when you decided already not to like the rest of the story. That's weird lol
As I stated before in my review of this movie and on live streams, I knew that David and Danny wanted to tried something different than rehashing the same old 'slasher' film we seen before in this series. I had no problem with Corey and I no problems with Michael's screen time in the film. I do agree with you about the marketing as the people in charge and Universal fooled a lot of fans in thinking that this was going to a 'war' between Michael and Laurie.
Well said my good friend 👍💯 The marketing team really botched the job.
@Insert Coinz While I agree with you, it seems plenty of 'Michael Myers fanboys' believe that was going to happen, a so-called 'war' between Michael and Laurie.
only thing ill add is thats not the company;s fault.
Every film since the beginning of time has a synopsis, people just didnt read it
but they watched the trailer a million times.
Even with that, the prior two films dont justify that expectation anyway.
As JLC said in the BTS for "Kills", Laurie isnt the only victim here, thats the whole point of Kills, its not about her.
When people complain about the screentime, i just laugh and say oh well, too bad they dont keep the same energy
for all the classic slashers because thats what they were emulating.
When Freddy is in the OG Nightmare for 8 minutes and Michael has 9 mins in 78....
@@TheHorrorMiserMontyGI remember before it came out hearing rumors about an all out bloody brawl between Michael and Laurie. And I'm almost positive that I had heard it was going to take place in the kitchen as well. To be honest when they kept saying this one was going to be different and then hearing how emotional Jamie Lee and Jude had gotten filming their final scene , I kinda thought they were going to put a dramatic tear-jerker twist on the film.
This whole DGG trilogy was poorly made. From the awkward, sometimes laughable and ridiculous dialogue, to the over the top performances and criminally under utilized legacy characters. Zero fall atmosphere. Aimless story overstretched for 3 films. It all should have been wrapped up in 2018, the only decent one of the 3. As a trilogy, it's just really underwhelming. Everybody praises the mask and JJC, but getting Michael right is not enough. There are a lot of other missing aspects that make a Halloween film work. Ends sealed the deal that DGG should not have been at the helm of these movies.
My gripe with Ends is there is no continuity, whereas with 2018 > Kills they literally pick up in the same exact scene with the house burning up in flames. The reason Ends feels so disconnected is because this last film doesn’t do the same, it doesn’t feel like it’s the same universe even. The story goes rogue, where in the first 2, it was all building up to what we fans thought was going to be this major, violent, bloodbath of a showdown fight between Michael and Laurie. And it’s not. It’s about this stupid kid that has NOTHING to do with the first two films. At all. No one gave a crap who this kid was. We were there for one reason: to see Michael and Laurie battle to the death. They made him weak a f, which was weird also because in Kills, at the very very end Laurie even says and I quote “The more he kills, the more he transcends into this unstoppable force.” And here he is, completely pulverizing an entire crowd of people from the neighborhood slaughtering them all, so by this logic he should have been stronger than ever before at the very end of Kills. There’s also no answers to anything - at the end of Kills, what happened when Laurie left the hospital? Was Michael still at the house? What happened when Laurie found her dead daughter? There’s so many holes in the story that go unanswered, it was like this huge climax building us up to this epic level ending performance of a film to finish off the trilogy and instead we got this weak, old, tired version of Michael. I don’t understand it, probably never will, and I’ll just continue watching the real trilogy of 1978, then 2018, then Kills. I’m just gonna pretend like Ends doesn’t exist with all the other weird sequels they came out with.
Dude I hate to break it to ya but kills was shit
Absolute shit
The real trilogy is Halloween 1978, Halloween 2 and Halloween H20
Not this obvious cash grab by Jamie lee Curtis
I could not agree more with you 👏
@@BB-wc9jx missed opportunity, and a huge giant misleading trailer of a movie to us fans. Huge disappointment. It’s nothing what they wanted us to believe it was from the trailers they dropped. I was so mad. I could have just walked out. I even tried streaming it one day like way after I watched it in theaters and I couldn’t even barely get past the first five minutes. I’m filing this one with the absolute worst Halloween films of all time.
This is one of the things that Jason Voorhees has above Freddy and Michael. Back-story is already complete, now to just find a cool way to bring him back to life and kill him in the end. Hard to disappoint the fans unless you tell them he's going to Manhatten, but then you put him on a boat going to Canada or have an EMT driver put on the mask to avenge his son's death over a candy bar.
Jason has fuckall over Freddy
Cory should of had a scene in kills and escaped… would of made the first scene in ends more impactful…. The kid wasn’t just playing a prank on him but was playing on his personal nightmare
I think my biggest issue with Halloween Ends is that it didn't feel like it was a new part 4 per say, but it felt like it was trying to rework what the new franchise timeline was attempting to do and say (which i think was so multilayered and clever in how the 2018 sequel basically established that Michael wasn't drawn to or mystically linked to Laurie at all, that it was something else. My thought was that it had to do with the original Halloween tagline, "The Night He Came Home" Halloween Kills only reinforced that possibility with Michael's main focus and acts were to get to his old home. Perhaps it was linked to Loomis yelling at him to go home and heal? Given that so much of the new Halloweens seemed to take, borrow, echo, and even directly copy pieces of all the other now non-cannon films, almost making them things which Michael may have imagined while still institutionalised as what might happen if he escaped etc...
my first thought upon seeing the end of Kills, was that the cult of the thorn was going to be directly referenced but that in Ends. Laurie was going to choose to become the vessel and have to kill her remaining family to end Michael having the power the cult had imbued him with. Making the final girl the final villain could have been an interesting route, especially since Kills felt to me like the first of the franchise to make Michael the main character... finishing with Laurie being the Corey character would have been genius as a cap to a story about how "evil" affects things. But the almost meh evolution from Kills' ending truly made me interpret this as not a final bookend to Laurie Strode but as a Silver Shamrock prequel to whatever form this evil which embodied Michael since killing his sister would now migrate to.
I get what they wanted to introduce and present with the Corey character... but i just couldn't really climb on board with Halloween Ends being a Halloween movie when so much of it... sooo much of it was essentially an updated cliff notes version of Stephen King's/John Carpenter's Christine.
Why haven't reviewers focused on how much of that story is the basic framework of Halloween Ends? ;)
Yeah this was a popular story arc in the 80's not just with Christine but so many films...good kid turned evil. This actually happened in Nightmare on elm Street 2 and I was actually reminded of that one as I watched Halloween Kills and didn't even think of Christine but good parallel.
Did you read the Ends novelization? I recommend it! I read it after I saw the movie and it supplements it very well.
CKcostumes - If, they had used the novelization for the screen play, it would have been a hit.
@@manbehindthemask2010 mean there’s only so much you can do with a movie.
Yes I enjoyed the book soo much better,I feel if they would have added a few things from the book it would have been soo much better.
Corey I'm sure wasn't thought of till they wrote the script. Was Corey evil cause he killed out of revenge. He was traumatized so he snapped. Now Myers may be in ends longer than 78, but in 78 you felt Myers presence the whole movie and his scenes counted. When you watch ends you're like wtf who the hell is this guy. It felt like Myers lost his evil in ends. What a crap movie
they wrote Kills and Ends at the same time, im sure you're wrong
@@millyoneyedeaz1350 they rewrote ends because of the covid. They had a completely different script at one time. They were going to make all three movies taking place on the same night. But things changed completely
Agreed. Season of the Witch has aged like fine wine. It's a lot better now than on it's original release.
To be, all three movies didn't feel too different. Still in Haddonfield with a similar plot just different characters. I wish the franchise would do what Scream did, and throw Michael into the city or something. I just get tired with the same old story. I did love Allyson from that trilogy though, she was my favorite part and I did like Corey.
ok, why would Michael leave?
@@millyoneyedeaz1350 beause Laurie got on a cruise ship so he followed her....oh wait that's been done already
I would have loved to see the open that was in the Novel for this movie. It would have helped explain a lot more and set the rest of the movie up. Cory should have been in Halloween 2018 in some compasity. I love that they did something new. The execution could have been better for sure! Love the video man!!
I think this movie brings up a lot of ambiguous questions about the nature of evil. I appreciate it for that at least.
Absolutely 💯 I think that is something that is very cool about Ends. They really wanted it to make people think and be character driven. I can appreciate it for that.
People are always gonna hate lol, like you said about halloween 3. People hated it when it first came out, and i was also a person that didn't enjoy it the first time i watched it. But as i got older i got more into it, and i do enjoy it alot more now. And i can see what they were trying to do with ends. They didn't want to do the same thing over and over, i get that. But why not make an epic ending where both main characters die at the end after all these years of him chasing after her and wanting to kill her. It would have been an epic closing to an epic franchise, idk the ending they did was weird lol.
The issue with sequels is the many continuity the flaws David Gordon Green did exactly what no one other John Carpenter attempt to do. Story wise you can only do so much with Micheal Myers then after awhile it becomes redundant in terms of being a standard slasher. Removing what makes Michael Myers scary gone are days of suspense and well crafted story of Good vs Evil he was never supernatural was I upset that Micheal Myers was less on screen the answer is no. Had Corey not try to kill Laurie and survived the bodies at the junkyard would've been blamed on Michael Myers the surveillance footage would showed Micheal and not Corey.
This 🤝
Kyle Richards had less screen time than a regular guest appearance of her nurse character on ER. That was disappointing. Why bring her back if she’s not going to have a purpose? At least on ER she’s helping the medical team in a trauma room save a life in the limited screen time. I actually liked her as Nurse Dori. 😁
If they didnt want to "repeat the same beats"...then they shouldn't have put their hands on the Halloween franchise. People who want to watch Halloween, want Michael Myers. The fact they knew before hand that it was gonna be controversial and divisive among fans, tells us what we already knew.
There’s just nothing redeeming about Halloween Ends. How often in motion picture history are you able to get, not one, but TWO of the original actresses from a film from over 40 years ago? They have them but then make the friggin movie about Cory.🤦♀️🤦🤦♂️
This was it. This was the end of Michael Myers and Laurie Strode and they gave us Cory.🤦♀️🤦🤦♂️
My dream ending for this film would have been Michael wanting to finish off Laurie, Lindsay and Allison BUT instead, after brutal fights and chase scenes throughout Laurie’s house and that boarded up house right next to hers and then they finish off Michael.
No. Not these writers. As much as I love Jamie Lee Curtis, I can’t bring myself to even buy this to complete my collection.
Can you imagine what they’re going to do to The Exorcist?🤦♀️🤦🤦♂️
Great video, very well articulated. I enjoyed the movie when i first saw it, the more time goes by, the more I enjoy it.
Thank you very much for the kind words. I'm so interested in the franchise but also the fandom's thoughts on this trilogy. Do you have any opinions on the reaction of Ends by fans? Thanks for watching and I hope to see you here again soon👍
@@TheNightwatchZonewhat's your opinion on Michael's relationship with Corey? Why didn't he kill him? And it looks like they even hung out and went on kills together. ( I know he eventually killed Corey but I feel like he was pushed and maybe figured Corey was almost dead anyway). Even when Corey was taking the mask from Michael it looked like Michael was just trying to fight him off rather than kill him.
Nightwatch, your vid is so comprehensive and informative, I just subscribed to your channel! 👏 Bravo!!

Awesome!! See you at 8pmEST👍👍
Honestly we should've got two versions of the film considering they actually cut out a huge chunk of the movie which we never got to see it's only in the book version
We almost had a season of the witch plot twist ending. After michaels death and Laurie has a happy ending before end credits it there was a scene that took place at the silver shamrock factory it said as the conveyor belts are spitting out the witch skeleton and pumpkin masks then it started spitting out Michael Myers masks. It was stated by david gordon green but it was never filmed because he felt it was fan service to those who only knew was season of the witch was. I wish we did have that ending if not at least an alternate ending or something.
that scene had nothing to do with the plot, its just an easter egg
There was an alternate ending, Michael got cremated instead and Laurie was staring into his eyes and magically evil was transferred to her, she then tried killing grad daughter and managed to let her go and scream run that she can’t hold it evil in. That was the ending they changed as no one liked it in screen testing.
@jonesey0783 what did the test audiences think about the actual ending? I can't imagine it being that much more receptive.
Look, I get what they were trying to do, but the whole Corey thing just didnt make sense, Michaels evil is never explained, while Coreys is explained and the guy is literally just introduced to the audience while we've been trying to figure out why Michael's past is never explored or explained when the last two movies could've been about that but nope, "Michael's old and not moving to good anymore, and some kid makes friends with him, there's halloween ends"
I just honestly don't understand what DGG was thinking coming off of H kills to Ends? It didn't feel like a sequel from how kills was to the way Ends was. Completely different feeling and style and story flow.
I honestly feel like the sequels were never planned and were rushed out.
Corey should have been introduced in halloween 2018 and had a build up throughout the trilogy either that or they shouldn't have marketed the movie as Laurie vs Michael and then barely had michael in it
Yes indeed👍👍 Plus they also cut some scenes that Michael was in 😔
Good job, man. A thoughtful, mature discussion. I haven't seen the film, but now I want to.
Good point about the marketing of the movie. There were two things that spoiled the movie a bit (and why I only watch a trailer once or twice and avoid any interviews/behind the scenes videos). First was that in the original trailer that was released, you see a whole left hand opening the door, even though Michael's left hand was missing two fingers after the events in 2018. Also, you had Jamie Lee Curtis in an interview saying that the movie opens with every parent's worst nightmare. So, before the movie was even released, we know that there is somebody else other than Michael, and we know that something was going to happen to that little brat at the beginning.
great video night enjoyed it and danny mcbride looks mad from the photo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😀💯😀 it's all the controversy 🤣🤣
Ends is about a half hour longer than the original Halloween so percentagewise Myers had more screen time in the og
Great video brother!
Thanks so much Brett. I'm always interested in Halloween talk and topics. Awesome to see you hear bro 👍👍
Michael's screen time wasn't the issue. Remember, he wasn't on screen very much in the 1978 original, but even though he wasn't on screen much, *his presence* was felt throughout. He felt like a threat who was constantly lurking just out of view. You don't get that feeling in Halloween Ends because we don't even catch up with him until 40 minutes into the movie, and then it still spends its time focused on Corey. Michael isn't a main character or main antagonist at all. He doesn't feel like a looming threat to fear or be concerned about.
Great takes. Especially the point about the marketing. Had they not sold it like an Ali/ Frazier winner take all, maybe people would have taken it better. With the new plot it felt like a next chapter as opposed to a third act in a trilogy.
I feel like a good ending would have been to pay tribute to Season of the Witch by showing Silver shamrock making Michael's mask. As if they could pass on the evil somehow.
One character I was hoping for Michael to kill off was Barker, he was useless in the entire trilogy. He only appeared in Ends for a minute
Maybe i missed it, but i really wish David GG would speak out about the negative reception and maybe if he has any regrets or if he wishes they'd have stuck to the original plan. Probably never gonna happen, but it'd be the closure alot of us would appreciate 😂
DGG has basically said that they made the film they wanted to make and knew that it would be challenging to fans but they wanted to do something different than a run of the mill Halloween film.
@The Nightwatch Zone oooooh yes ok i do remember hearing that. I'm sure I heard y'all talking about it on Lethal Collective. Thanks 👍
David has spoken on all this stuff a long time ago, far back as 2017 before the first film.
Some fans just dont bother to find anything outside of the movie itself or think past their own opinions.
Far as the original plan, he explained that too...
"When we were writing Kills and Laurie was bedridden because she would be because she's been stabbed in the belly a few times, I knew we needed to make a time jump. Or we decided after thinking about it. There was a period of time where it was gonna be all one linear continuous type of movie. But then how are you gonna get this climactic battle out of her? "
Exactly! Kills made it a point to show her surgery and how she went down and busted her stitches after
a short tussle with a doctor in the hallway. Basically saying to us the audience
"no, she's in no shape to fight Michael TONIGHT"
Halloween Ends = The Corey Cunningham show.
For me also Lynsey Wallace was fan favourite in kills to have her survive and not use her in ends was so frustrating. I would have loved to see a showdown between Lauri Lynsey and allison vs Michael . To bring in a new character for the end felt messy to me .
I loved 2018 and kills but ends didn’t feel like the same universe I just don’t see why you make such a big change in the last film of the trilogy and I was hoping that ends would be back to basics like in the original where most screan time is just him in the shadows and see how everyone is falling apart due to fear which ends did kinda do but the focus should have been on Laurie and Allyson not some random guy. That we never saw before. I think ends presented good ideas but was executed poorly and it would have been something better to do after Michael died and it be like when one evil dies another’s rises. It’d make more sense and easier to follow end’s made things too complicated and it just wasn’t good so to sum my pov I think they should have done this film a lot like the original but also focus more on Michaels effects on everyone and play on that Michael is always watching and can strike at any time. And then you could have done something similar to ends as a mini series or something but I’m glad there’s people who were able to enjoy the film but I couldn’t enjoy the film even as a hardcore fan and watching it a number of times I just can’t come to terms with it it’s just not that good and I get a headache every time I watch it because for me it was just not good but I’m glad other people were able to enjoy it
You got me thinking...and I'm on board with what you are saying about "Ends" and Cory, and after listening to you point it out very astutely, each movie in the final trilogy did do something different each time-for better or worse. But thinking back on Halloween 78 (after of course the retcon ditching Michael as Lori's brother) and what you are saying about how evil begins represented by Cory's character in Ends, it seems one could talk about the randomness of evil and how it affects the innocent. Lori is innocent teen that has a terrorizing experience and what it did to her over her life, in contrast with Cory as the innocent experiencing Michael and what we might assume is his pathway after his experience. Something akin to evil and its influences on humankind for better and worse. Lori moved forward and tried her best to get by even though we know she had many issues (with good cause), but she fought the evil. Cory is on the opposite side and gave in to the evil and he paid the price for that. Maybe ultimately it's a cautionary tale in the sense of the overarching battle of good against evil. You can fight it but with much suffering and pain over a lifetime that is difficult but you can come out the other side and move forward (I believe Michael's death offers that to Lori and we get that tidbit at movie's end), or you can choose to succumb to the evil but always it seems with the direst of consequences--and you don't have to wait and struggle a lifetime.
I've found my new horror movie channel. Love this video and your thoughts on it. I'm just waiting on someone to make a movie where Jamie takes up the shape mask.
The entire trilogy is a total mess of ideas that never came together! Michael might have less screen time in the original but you feel his presence throughout the movie, you don't get that in Ends! They didn't try something different, it was already suggested at the end of Halloween 4 that Michael's evil could be transferred into someone else and the Producer's cut of Halloween 6 suggested the same thing, they just spent 90% of Ends run time focusing on that and it was a complete failure! The marketing was very deceptive and I do think Universal should answer for it!
The issue with movies like this is the writer's make it about themselves, not the established fanbase. Keep it simple. By changing so much of what makes it Halloween, you lose your established audience. Look at Halloween 3, look at Jason Goes To Hell etc.
Completely agree I kinda felt like it was just the writers and maybe Jamie Lee Curtis wanting to be done with the franchise that they didn't even care whether or not the movie was actually good or not
I think they should never had a Corey Cunningham character
👍I think he should have been introduced before Ends.
having corey in an earlier film would have just turned this into a Scream film, though, with a trusted friend turn berserk
We won't get though this in an afternoon. But the simplified answer in my opinion is this. Focusing on H ENDS, this how I see it. Evil can not just die. And even when it's time in nearing its end, it can only "leave" when a battered and vulnerable (preferably someone who was kind and had the potential for a lot of good), cries and pleads to the dying evil: "Get up! Show me how to do it!" 🤔
This movie felt like a stand alone entry, not the third film in a trilogy
Curiously, I've never seen Halloween III because it follows a different narrative. That being said, John Carpenter has specifically stated that Halloween (1978) is about "evil" and the fact that it never goes way. Viewed from that perspective, Halloween Ends is aligned with that trajectory. I also like watching movies that I haven't seen before (from a plot perspective), so kudos to the filmmakers for trying something unique as opposed to remaking Halloween (2018). Nice old school Bucs cap. I miss my Oilers. Cheers, mate...☀
I wanted Halloween Ends to be a revenge movie Night maybe Laurie Strode and a group of survivors would go after Michael inn an all out war I was disappointed in Ends to some extent as well as the last 2 Halloween movies. You can call me Jeff Night that's the name I go by if that's easier for you to remember I like to change up my name at times
I just find it funny how Laurie assumed Michael was after her when she’s the one who threw herself in his path. He didn’t give a crap about Laurie. He wasn’t on Google trying get her home address or anything.
I tried so hard to like this movie. I've re-watched it probably 5x. The story they'd built up in the first 2 did not correlate to the 3rd. It was advertised as one thing and we got something completely different with a 5 minute struggle at the end. I've heard people bring up Michael's screen time in the original was less than Ends but the difference is in the original you knew he was there even when he was off screen. That was definitely not the case here. Overall was a huge disappointment for me.
"THE fans were right!" about what exactly?
Those of us who dont have these issues with the film aren't fans?
As DGG said in 2017, no matter what they do, a section of the fans wont like it,
Ends was approached no different than the other two.
Im fine with people not liking the movies but all this "THE fans dont like it"
rhetoric is disingenuous and turning the fandom into what the Star Wars fandom has become.
DGG already explained this before Danny said this:
"There was a discussion and even through the editing process.
Because you could take certain scenes from earlier and move them around. It just felt right.
Maybe I'll watch it in two years and think that's too long a gap,
but it was important to me to develop characters and understand them
in their own way and then introduce how Michael relates to that situation.
Because he's so exciting when you see him. Myers just gets people shaking.
I was worried that was going to distract from the substance of the Corey/Allyson story as it was developing. "
Far as the Ends marketing, they releases the synopsis with the trailer
and SOME fans watched it a million times and never read the synopsis attached.
SOLUTE you for having the main TOP CLASSIC horror masters in the background the absolute TOP MAIN thank you!!!!!! MICHAEL-JASON-FREDDY
Hes not calling them out. Hes just saying he gets the criticism.
Yeah.., biggest Halloween fan ever and hated I mean hated Halloween Ends!!!!
DGG showed disdain for the fans with Ends. He didn't care. He had already cleaned up at the box office with the first two, so he just did whatever the hell he wanted. He really isn't a great director at all and it's too bad we got stuck with him for these films. He didn't "get it" like Carpenter seemed to think.
I agree
So, those of us who love what DGG did, aren't fans?
@millyoneyedeaz1350 No, you are. Just fans with bad taste or an inability to discern good writing from unfocused, directionless storytelling. Most of the plotlines in this trilogy went nowhere. They had no idea what they were gonna do from one movie to the next. And it SHOWS.
It would’ve been an ideal story arc if Corey was Alison’s boyfriend Cameron from the first movie, and survives Kills. If the writers and director had known what direction they’d take the story in advance, they would’ve just cast Rohan Campbell for that part from the beginning.
Nice Bucco Bruce hat BTW. I really didn't mind the minimal amount of Michael screen time. Sometimes less is more and I enjoyed Corey's transformation and watching him slaughter like Michael was actually quite entertaining.
I'd like to know why the book is completely different from the version of Halloween Ends we got
@Insert Coinz still would've been better to have seen the book version
Halloween Ended
No Reboots
No Remakes
R I P
This is the only movie I've ever seen where everyone walking out of the theater unanimously hated it
I think Corey’s story was fine, I think it would’ve been better if he was his own killer pretending to be Michael while the real Michael comes out of hiding to take down the fake Michael, so you have two killers running around. Michael doesn’t work as a side character lol he’s best as his own character, doing what he wants to do.
I've always said that if this was the plan the whole time, Ends should've been the first entry and the epic battle in Halloween should've been last. I don't hate Ends the way most people do, I just think it's out of place.
The only thing I didn’t like about Halloween kills was evil dies tonight over and over and over and the Tommy Doyle character wasn’t right
I like Halloween Ends but it's not what it should've been in my eyes 👀 😊🐾 💜
After 2018 and Kills, Ends was a total let down straight up. Ends looked like a last second change up imo.
for what was built up, in '78, h 18, & kills, they didn't come close in anyway to sticking the landing, on the lori & michael saga. if the corey story was a stand alone film, like season of the witch, no problems with that. dgg, didn't do the legacy charaters, lori & michael justice. just my opinion, i could be wrong.....
They actually did stick the landing in my opinion. Each film had a meaning
One thing i thought was awesome and idk if anybody has mentioned it is this is the third movie in this trilogy and a very different movie indeed kinda like the way season of the witch was in the original trilogy and they used the same blue fonts with the credits! It wouldve been a cool touch if at the end wen the movie went off it played the theme music from season of the witch!
I enjoyed Halloween Ends, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the Corey character. I agree that it would have been better had Corey been introduced in an earlier film, but I honestly would have made more sense if Allyson would have been the one to go psycho. It would have been a good call back to her clutching the knife at the end of Halloween 2018, and it would have been a great homage to Jamie going nuts at the end of Halloween 4.
I envisioned it in a completely different way. I saw Alison becoming the new Laurie and the final battle would come down between her and Michael with Laurie as the new Loomis.
Personally, Corey as a character isn’t the problem for me. The problem was him being the copycat killer when in reality there was already a character that could’ve worked really well as the new killer in this movie: Allyson.
Allyson in this movie treats Laurie like shit and blames her for Michael tyranny and her friends and mom’s deaths but what if it went beyond that? What if after the events of Kills, she continued her hunt for Michael with a few surviving people affected by the events of ‘18 and Kills where they find and succeed in killing Michael?
Allyson could take his mask but soon begins to have visions of Michael as the evil takes over her, but instead she tries to control it and use it against and attack other “evil” people, leading to her also being overprotective of her friends, mainly Corey, and soon gets Laurie’s attention whom Allyson has a grudge against.
This would honestly not only make Haddonfield blaming Laurie feel more believable, because it indirectly turned her own family into her monster, but it also allows the film to put another unique spin on the final trope.
I don't get why fans are criticizing the David Gordon Green and Danny because I appreciate they took a risk and thried something new with this new trilogy. All of the movies have a different meaning and I get this movie has issues but I came out satisfied.
As a lifelong Myers fan, I was so upset with that trilogy. It was a disgrace to the franchise
After watching every Halloween film, I think Michael being the 'embodinent of evil' is a bit out of character for him. And while yes, Dr Loomis did view Michael as 'evil', but then again it was from his point of view and his view only. And if you look at it, Michael is not necessarily good nor evil, he is simply death incarnate. Death in living flesh. He doesn't laugh or do a mustache twirl everytime he takes a life. He doesn't say anything nor even react to anything. He is simply death. The reason why Michael doesn't run after his victims and takes his time with them as he's slowly walking towards them is because he is inevitable. You can't run from death and you can't fight death. That's what makes Michael Myers scary. Whatever damage he takes, he'll sit back up and won't stop until you're dead
Well said 👍💯 I agree that Michael is inevitable. Truly death in the flesh. He isn't fully human in the way we define it. This is a big reason why his mythology is so interesting. Thanks for watching this and giving your insight. What did you think of Ends? Hope you enjoy the content here and return👍🔥💯
@@TheNightwatchZone This is why I think they should do is continue this existing Halloween timeline and bring Michael back as a zombie. Jason Voorhees style. As soon as the town of Haddonfield becomes aware that a man in the Myers mask is on a killing spree, they fuck off! They don't fight em like in Halloween Kills, they just fuck right off. And what Allison sees is a massive traffic jam out of Haddonfield. Allison stays behind with her new friends and decides to fight this killer head-on. Only to realize that it is Michael Myers. I think it would make for an amazing setting if Allison and her friends (ex cops/hunters/ex soldiers) fight Zombie Michael in a ghost town. It would also be cool if Allison and her friends goes on a mystery journey to uncover more mystery behind Michael and find any clues to why Michael keeps coming back.
I think a movie like this should take place 4 or 5 years after Halloween Ends, and Laurie dies in the hospital of an illness like Cancer for example, but before she passes away, the town of Haddonfield reveal a statue of her in the town square.
That could be really good. Bringing back Allyson is a great idea too. I would definitely watch it💯💯🔥🔥
@@TheNightwatchZone Thing is, you could go in any direction with a movie like that. What would be cool is Allison and her friends discovering old tapes of Dr Loomis saying that there is no way of killing Michael permanently. With Allison and her friends realizing the danger they're in, they decide to go out in a blaze of glory and take the fight to the Angel of Death himself, Michael Myers. So they setup traps all around the ghost town of Haddonfield and use the environment to their advantage while Michael is stalking them in the shadows like an apex predator. This could to an insane conflict between Allison's group and Michael fighting all over the town and then it could escalate to the military getting involved. They gun down Michael and then he immediately regenerates himself, sits up and walks forward to the military soldiers while carrying a gigantic scythe. They torch him and set him to a blaze, but he still marches forward. They decide to go all in and rain fire on Michael, as the whole town of Haddonfield becomes a raging inferno. The camera cuts to all of Haddonfield set to a blaze. Houses, buildings, the memorial statue of Laurie Strode, etc. All set to a blaze. The soldiers, alongside Allison and her friends enter the fiery town to look for any remains of Michael, until he picks them off one by one. Allison remains as the sole survivor. Blooded, battered and legit crawling on the street to exist the town, while Michael slowly and methodically walks towards her, dragging his blooded scythe. Michael stops Allison in her tracks and gives her a little head tilt. In an act of defiance, she spits blood in his face and tells him, "I'm not afraid." As Michael stomps on her head like a pumpkin. The movie ends with a burnt and reformed Michael Myers walking into the darkness (dragging his scythe) as Haddonfield burns to the ground, with the classic Halloween score playing in the background
Problem with ends is it is not better than kills I too am a fan of Halloween 3 season of the witch
Season of the Witch is such a good movie. I'm glad it is starting to get the love it deserves.
Halloween Ends was very bad I've watched, listened to others, and kept my mind open in all 5 of my watches and it's bad for a HALLOWEEN film but not a terrible movie. I think the fans earned and deserved a better movie. I think Laurie n Michael deserved a real final war movie and it shouldve been a lot more scary. Too many ppl tryna make sense outta this trash. You want to do something different, you try some shit like having the movie take place more from Michael's pov idk something more unique but sticks to the blueprint
Respectfully...it sounds like some folks had to dig to the bottom of the barrel to try and find something to "like" about this movie. Nobody seems to have in mind the fact that every single time the franchise tried to dive too deep into that whole psychological, occult, curse aspect, it wasn't recieved well by fans (with the exception H4). As a die hard fan of this franchise, i feel that i can constructively say that the psychological storyline has never been properly executed with this franchise, from the half-ass Curse of Thorn storyline, to the psychological connection between Mike and Laurie that Rob Zombie introduced his re-imagining of H2.
The reason why these were so poorly recieved is because Halloween, although it does touch on the effects of trauma, is a slasher film. It is a staple in the slasher genre. That will always be the biggest highlight for the franchise.
Now, we had H4 that really started getting into that whole "evil being tranferred" thing with Jamie. And you know what, it wasnt bad, especially with it ending on the possibility that Jamie could be the next killer. But, 5 and 6 didnt deliver on that possibility, which was a waste.
It seems Halloween Ends tried ti give us that aspect again, and it COULD have worked....had they NOT scrapped the OG characters for this new trilogy. Dont get me wrong, Halloween 2018 came woth gusto, and i adore it...but i never liked that they took away the "brother/sister" relationship between Mike and Laurie. It sort of left 'Ends' and 'Kills' hanging. If Ends was gonna go with the tranferring of evil, then the familial storyline to Halloween should have been kept, that way they could use a descendant of Michael instead of some random guy. This would have given them more room to maneuver the story. They could have even used some of those cool flashbacks from 'Kills'to go back further to the night Mike killed Judith. What triggered it? What was his parents response to Judiths death? Where was Laurie?
Otherwise, the trilogy should have remained as a one night event, no time jumps and no long, dry, drawn out, forced love story.
Reading Novel before watching the movie or watching the movie then reading the novel makes HW ENDS a better movie, to me, if they would've added in SOME of the parts that was in the novel would've have made ENDS a more enjoyable movie....BUT I LIKE ENDS for the different direction that was taken
They were on a 255 million dollar high and couldn’t finish the story!
Had a major issue with Michael Myers getting beat up and then killed in a one on one fight with a Grandma.
Corey shouldn’t have ever been thought of. That was the first mistake. It’s weird to me because DGG seems like he understands The Shape but then he does something like this and has me like 🤨🤔
And another thing DGG loves to do is to make someone take Michael mask 😂
It wasn’t that Corey’s character was bad or even his story was bad. Putting him in the third part of a trilogy was odd placement. I did like the idea of Michael’s evil almost being like a virus that brings out the worst in troubled characters. But it felt like the creators were trying to do something different much in the way Halloween 3 did.
I really didn’t mind the movie and was entertained BUT this movie isn’t the 3rd movie in this trilogy. It feels way out of place, had the Corey story played out over the course of the trilogy it could have been very interesting.
Halloween Ends-five years after Halloween Kills Laurie and her granddaughter have moved away to a small secluded town in upstate New York attempting to live normal low key lives now. Laurie teaches part time adults at night school as well as she helps to run a twelve step program for recovering alcoholics. Alyson finishes her college studies and becomes a nurse at the local community hospital. She meets a fellow nurse and kindred spirit in Corey who is a survivor of violence as well. They bond and begin dating forging a normal life together. A strange homeless man wanders the city all day searching for scraps in Haddonfield he lives in a giant water filtration tunnel under a bridge roaming the city freely in search of food and supplies. On Halloween night he by chance encounters Lindsay tending bar at a nearby dive not too far from where this man’s water tunnel. He recognizes her immediately as she starts to toss multiple bags of garbage in the large garbage bin out behind the bar. The tall lean homeless scruffy man steps deeper into the shadows to retrieve something in his knapsack it’s the familiar pale emotionless white face of death. He also removes his hoodie and a large kitchen knife from his knapsack. Michael watches Lindsay but before he can strike her cell goes off he hesitates while she speaks. He wants to kill her as she’s one that got away he steps from the shadows but suddenly freezes in place as she smiles Laurie! Oh my God I haven’t heard from you in years it’s Halloween night what are you doing now, where do you live? Michael breaths through the mask and hears Lindsay repeat you’re in upstate New York in a small town called Widow’s Peak just you and Alyson. Lindsay laughed yes I would love to visit maybe in a month or two I can drive up there and catch up….she talks for a bit laughing then says her goodbye. Lindsay places the cell into her pocket and tosses another bag into the bin. When she turns to grab the last bag she starts to cry and panic. Fuck I knew you’d still be out there looking for us. She reaches for a small pistol in a concealed hip holster and manages to squeeze a shot off the round catches Michael in the left shoulder as he rushes forward stabbing Lindsay multiple times in her chest and upper torso. She dies eyes wide open staring at the shape who kneels down searching her pockets. He removes her keys clicks the alarm to a modest Ford pick up and gets in the car. He drives off into the night getting on the interstate freeway the sign above reads Widow’s Peak 220 miles. This is unfinished business and he’s prepared to finish it once and for all….
5:11 speak for yourself. There’s a time and place to get “creative”. The final film in a trilogy with things that were built up in two films prior was not it. Unique and out-of-the-box shxt is still shxt . . .
That's fair and you're able to speak for yourself too.
this trilogy was a mess from one jarring movie to the next. story comes first not your message which was way overdone in every movie from pstd to mob mentality to being canceled. it’s obvious that 2 & 3 were slapped together after the success of 1. season of the witch is better than any of these movies and time isnt going to change that. what a terrible way to end an iconic character.
I think ends is the best entry of the trilogy. It will be discussed and revisited more as time goes on with the mythology and overall lore.
Should of just done two films or just Halloween ends and I wouldnt been mad
I think they didn’t expect it to do as good as it did . They was pushing that Halloween would end and when Halloween kill did so good instead of they understanding that the fans don’t want it to end but they wanted to honor ended Halloween, but that’s them not understanding how loyal Halloween fans are and how u looked at Michael. U never wanted to see him die he was the blueprint of evil to us . They should have pivoted and kept him alive and said fucked what we said about ends
