I like how they are calling this “The last Halloween movie” but we all know that it will only be a couple years until they reboot it. The "Evil dies tonight." got so old, very quickly. I also thought it was so weird how Laurie spent every waking moment preparing for him to return while he was literally locked up for 40 years, but now that he’s on the loose and went on his most violent massive killing spree she’s just chillin. I was like uh what.😆

Love how he went from deranged stalker killer to "feed me bodies in a sewer because just the act of murder alone sustains me"

My BIGGEST problem with the movie is that the trailers lied to us. They implied that Michael and Lowry would be the center of this movie, culminating in a final showdown but what we GOT was a weird RomCom movie where this sad kid goes on a killing spree, beats Michael myers up with little effort, and then Michael and Lowry have a glorified cameo with a showdown at the end.

Let me be clear: The part where the kid fall off the stairs at the beginning is one of the the funniest shit I've ever seen in any movie.

Fun fact: in the novelization of the film, they mention that Michael escaped into the woods after Kills, and the old homeless man who Corey kills was one of the Smith's Grove patients who was manipulated into worshipping Michael as a God by Sartain, and when he found Michael, he brought him to the sewers and protected him, brought him food, and brought him victims. The novel isn't perfect, it's still largely the same story, but it does fill in some of the gaps and flesh out some of the more confusing parts of the film. They also mention that Laurie spiraled down into an even worse state after Karen's death, but she eventually got therapy and is writing the memoir at Frank's suggestion. We also get a scene with Julian, the kid Vicky was babysitting in '18. All in all, the book is significantly better than the movie, but still pretty terrible

Kills and Ends are a prime example of not everything needing a trilogy. The ending of 2018 gave us an ending that satisfied both sets of fans imo. Should of been enough.

Corey really took on the role of killer. Didn't hesitate or anything. I wasn't sure at first but when Michael pinned the Lady to the wall. It confirmed the fact that Michael Myers is an expert Stud finder.

I think had they introduced Cory earlier in the trilogy, maybe have him play a friend of Laurie’s granddaughter and run away from Michael despite being mesmerized. Then later, have him try to kill Michael and accidentally kill someone else, leading him to be a social pariah. And let that slowly build up to him sympathizing with Michael & that lead to him leading Michael back to Laurie. I think the movie was poorly received solely because Cory was such a focal point randomly-that pretty much doomed the movie & his character. It’s really hard to flesh out a character like that & make them not inconsistent when you have to introduce them to an existing/ongoing plot, wiggle in their motives/conflict and resolve it while also having 2 bigger characters and a much bigger plot between them.

And those bullies were straight out of a 1980s Stephen King novel / movie.

I hate how Laurie let Michael dictate her life when he was locked in a secure facility for 40 years, but after his most violent killing spree, that took the life of most of her acquaintances (her daughter and son-in-law included mind you), AND HE FUCKING VANISHES AFTER, she get's all "ok, NOW it's the time to start healing". Cory was a terrific idea, terribly executed. He should've been introduced in 2018, perhaps replacing that friend of Cameron that was into Allyson, and the seeds that he was just as Evil as Michael should've been explored in Kills. That way, just as we see Allyson playing a modern take into Laurie's character, Cory could been the same for Michael, during the trilogy.

This movie tripped over it's own hype, face planted, broke it's nose, had it's wallet stolen by Corey, and shat it's pants.

“This kid just shows up slaps him around and steals his mask” 😂😂😂😂

I get why the town blames Laurie. There will always be those people who barely understand the situation and need someone to blame especially since Michael is gone and Sartain died so their mind is like why not blame the woman who was obsessing over them

3:55 The woman who decided to "hang around" permanently, wasn't a rando, she was the mother of the Boy Michael killed in the 1st movie (2018). The one in the devil costume that tried to kiss Allison after she had the fight with her bf. We know this, because she's wearing the costume he died in . . .

My thing is that if Michael Myers regens after each kill, then why is he so defeated if he literally killed an entire village at the end of the last one?

This really seems like there was a whole movie between "Kills" and "Ends" that we somehow missed.

40 years and Michael still can't kill her

The lady who hung herself was Oscars mom. She wore his costume while doing it

The lady who hung herself was Oscar’s mom. The kid who got his head punctured on the fence

It’s like they wanted to do something like Freddy vs Jason (Freddy uses Jason to kill, spread fear, and gain power which seems similar to Michael and Corey with how Michael seemed to get stronger with killing) and IT Pt2 where “you’re just a man” seemed to have a similar effect as “you’re just a clown”

Just watched the trilogy recap yesterday and thought to myself, “I hope he recaps Halloween ends soon.”

literally every person in every Halloween movie when they interact with Laurie “yer aff yer heid”

They had great themes and ideas but should have introduced Corey in the of Halloween 2018 and explore the shape changing its shape as evil does

This movie felt like a fanfic written by the writers of Season 1 Riverdale and the original script got swapped with this one

I can't help but think, Halloween ends would've been great if they just set some of this stuff up in the other two movies. Why couldn't Cory have been introduced in 2018. Maybe flesh out the ' curse Michael seems to be passing on?

Cory's mom reminds me of Carrie's mom. And we all know how Carrie turned out. lol. This movie was so different, but interesting. I did like the ending. But it was like two movies in one. I'm sure there will be another reboot in a couple of years. So until then...💜💜

Been watching your videos since quarantine. Thank you for everything you do!!

Love the videos you make def a1 content. Your next ending exp should definitely be the new hellraiser. It was such a great and unsettling piece of art.

I really wanted the franchise to end with both Laurie and Michael dying...idk why but because of the years of dedication toward ending one another lives, it would've been a satisfying end in a weird way

“I despise what Halloween kills did to the franchise, theres no way it can get any worse.” *Halloween Ends has entered the chat*

FoundFlix hasn’t shown up on my feed in months! Glad this popped back up today.

OMG great hair! been a follower for a few years, interesting to see how you have personally evolved. Thanks for the recap, always entertaining.🙂

And then Laurie woke up from her dream. Realizing that she inhaled too much smoke from the fire. There she was with her daughter and grand baby at the back of the pick up. Micheal died in the house fire. The end

Great review. Hoping you got Barbarian on the list as well.

I mean I'm conflicted about Michael's end. One one hand, the fight is great between him and Laurie and I love how the town came together in the end to dispose of Michael's body. But just having his neck and wrist slit? That's the blow that finally does Michael in? I mean I'm glad it was Laurie who ended it. Just thought that maybe she'd stab him in the head at least.

Thank you for reviewing this! I have been waiting since they announced Halloween Ends was coming out for your ending explained so I can consider if I want to see the movie 😂

After 5 years from now, I want a director to step up and make a new Halloween Ends. I want them to do the same thing that Halloween (2018) did; ignore every past movies and continue from a movie. In this case, continue from Halloween Kills. Maybe it’ll be a better Halloween Ends.

Been waiting for you too make this since the movie released. Can’t wait too watch. Happy Halloween

I think he stabbed himself and did the whole “if I can’t have her…” thing because - if Lori’s threatening to expose him to Allyson, making it seem like she’s killed him makes it so Lori won’t have Ally either. Which she’s kind of already lost her by that point anyway. EDIT: it’s not over. They’ll retcon the whole thing by making it seem like Michael somehow switched Corey’s body with his or something 😭😭

Actually the whole "they needed a new boogieman" is pretty on spot It's the concept of an "Escape goat". Basically the idea that any society (in this case, the town) needs a "common enemy", something to receive all of their hate, so as to "relieve" those negative feelings. Without someone or something to take blame for whatever, people will start to instead target any tiny detail from *inside* their society and this will inevitably lead to internal conflicts, which threatens their society's stability.

This would be like a youngling beating up Darth Vader and taking his lightsaber in Return of the Jedi.

I mean Laurie could have tried to move on from Michael. If anything feels realistic that some would try to move on from these kinds of tragedies. Really, I feel what people overlook is that the whole of Haddonfield was corrupt. They always needed to have some Boogeyman to blame for their problems whether it be Michael or Corey. Even Laurie is blamed for Michael's actions due to her being the sole survivor of his rampage. To think about it, Haddonfield is almost like some Lovecraftian nightmare where evil festers underneath the surface but eventually, evil leaks out driving the town into murderous savagery.

Been waiting for this!!

Ben waiting for this! Happy Halloween y’all 🎃

Would love to hear your thoughts on the Cabinet of Curiosities anthology! I thought it was a pretty strong series...

My guy nice hairstyle looking hella fresh. Love your videos. Have a good one.

Did anybody catch what Jeremy told Corey which got completed muted. Also did anybody see how this kid has the uncanny ability to move like Michael or that of the children of the damn. He pops open the front door and the back door then ends up @ the top of the the ultra high steps? What kind of scarrying skills are those? Looks like michael was looking for Corey.

Oh boy have this movie been divisive. And the makers of this almost new that it was going to be so they even went with the old color scheme and lettering of Halloween 3 Season of the Witch. It's a complete 180 from the killfest of Halloween Kills. But they do sort of imply that the spirit and influence of Michael Myers affects the behavior of the townspeople of Haddonfield much like Pennywise does for Derry Maine.

Just watched this with my wife 10 minutes before you uploaded this vid haha. This has been an amazing Halloween 🎃 now we get to watch you explain it. Love it!

I think the scene with Laurie outside of the grocery store was a scene that was used a lot throughout the movie, whenever a character got to feel happiness and Joy immediately something happens to maie them sad or angry like a curse. I think the point of the movie was that the characters still couldnt fully heal their wounds even if they wanted to

I love your videos and am always excited to see you upload, even if it's a film I watched, I love hearing your take. That being said, this movie is difficult to sit through lmao. I will, but DAMN

You really went in on them in this one 😂 It was deserved. Great video!

It was like dude was confused when he made this movie and kills. They made the whole town go insane over a guy nobody seen in 40 years Laurie with them, he turns into Jason in kills then they throw all of that out in the next movie. Then the weirdest shit happens besides Corey existing.. why would Laurie stop being prepared for Michael if he disappeared after killing her daughter? It's like they had their movies mixed up and out of order

You should do a video on Smile. Just watched it and it actually had some unnerving and a couple of scares that got me.

well happy I don't have to waist tie seeing this one. FoundFlix is taking one for the team, yet again.

I think I finally get why she’s no longer paranoid, she spent her whole life trying to prevent her daughters death and saw that it was still futile so she gave and and is taking everything face first

When he started talking about how abrasive the band nerds were I rejoiced, because I thought it was just me that thought that.😂😂😂

Yeah I thought this was going to be some kind of Twisted Love Story prequel and I was actually getting into it until the poor kid Jammed the knife through his throat and then I was just like SO that happened and that was it😂

As I was watching this I was sure that Allie was going to end up killing Corey…like she could sense his evil and kept herself close to him to see if it would take over. I would’ve changed my whole opinion of the movie

Love the funny idea Of Micheal Holding on to Cory lovingly sitting behind On the Bike🤣🤣🤣🙏🏻🙏🏻😂😂

Would love to hear you cover the Netflix show Cabinet of Curiosities. I loved almost every episode they were very good some better than others but some of the best short horror films I’ve seen. If not all of the at least cover The Viewing it was soooo good

You got a brighten up the movie clips man

I would love if you did a video on the new jeepers creepers reborn, its probably thee worst quarantine movie made 😂

Feels like this movie was trying to go in 3 separate directions, and just kinda failed at all of them. There was some potential with Corey, but it just went nowhere

Just came home from the cinema. This movie was confusion lol.

On point with your start to finish ""THANK YOU "".

Thank you so much. I was so confused.

“I hope you find love “ tells me that the dad wasn’t in love with the mom

They need to reshoot this movie. #JUSTICEFORMICHAELMYERS #RESHOOTHALLOWEENENDS

Been waiting for this video so it was a definite like before it even started 🤝🏽

All ima say is that at the end of Halloween kills, Michael goes toe to toe with like 20 people all armed with bats, crowbars, and even a gun. He gets bashed in the head repeatedly, he gets shot in the chest literally 6 times by a revolver at close range, yet he still gets up and kills everybody, pretty much confirming he is an immortal embodiment of pure evil. Then In this movie they throw that all away and turned him into a normal ass old man who gets slapped around by Corey, Laurie, and Alyson.

Corey was like "the town made a monster out of me for an accident, i'm angry and sad and you know why? i'm gonna prove myself and to them that.....they're right, i'm a monster, a killer" Not a way to end this trilogy nor a Halloween movie.

If Korey had been a protagonists in one, and the babysitting incident was shown then or in #2 so we had time to know and love him before being saddened by his corruption

Can you do Barbarian next please Im not a fan of scary movies but I love watching your vids since it helps me understand them better lmao

I've been waiting for this

Honestly, I can see what they were trying to go for and the concept is interesting. That Michael is in fact just a man, a very disturbed and physically able man but a man nonetheless. That the town’s people and Laurie , and even Michael himself believing that he was something more was what gave him that perceived power, like a wide scale placebo effect and Laurie finally kills him for good when she realises and accepts that he is in fact mortal. Does that make the trilogy good movies? Hell no, with the exemption of the first as a decent standalone popcorn horror. So many things needed to be executed better like better exploring the theme so that the difference between Michael at his peak in the 2nd and the weakened Michael in 3 wouldnt be so jarring. Something definitely needed to be there to bridge that, show cracks appear in his mysticism. Corey also definitely needed to have been established at the start and have his arc fleshed out across all 3 films. Ultimately, the trilogy is just decent and interesting ideas that could have worked that needed better and more cohesive movies for them

I think the provoked Michael thing was meant as Laurie "provoked" him that night 40 years ago.

*Spits out Halloween candy just now noticing your hair change.* Nice! Lol. Apparently, I've only been listening to your commentary the last while during workouts and not actually looking at the screen.

Your hair looks marvelous!

I always took for granted that Corey was posessed by Michael Myers and the movie was about Michael trying to get to Lauries grand daughter. We are watching M.M. the entire time in a new body.

Terrifier 2 Next?!?

Halloween 2018 was so sick and somehow we ended up here

I got halfway through the move and decided I’d watch this instead. Thank you for this.

Haven’t even seen the actual movie yet, but after watching this summary it looks like they butchered Michael Myers as a character

"I hope you find love" is the best part of the whole movie. I laughed so hard at that scene. Remember. Michael Meyers is just evil Ebola!

Was waiting on this one

Great haircut, man!

This movie was hot garbage, we spent an hour pissing around with Corey for him to not even take the myers mantle for a new few slashers, we may as well just have had a massive clash between Michael and Laurie one final time, also why was Michael immortal in the last film just for him to be bumbling around in the sewers for 5 years ... makes NO SENSE !!!

The lady who hung herself id Oscar’s mother . She even had the costume on he wore the night he died . Took me a couple times to catch that

Love your breakdowns. Can you do one on “The Devil’s hour” on Prime. I really enjoyed it.

Yoooo the hair thoo?? Lookin good man 😁

I wouldn't have minded Corey taking over as The Shape with a love interest/rival in Laurie's granddaughter and possibly maybe Allison giving birth a kid who may or may not have the killer instinct. I believe they could have shown the transition with Corey intruding on Michael's kills. Then have a double showdown or something with Michael and Laurie offing each other and then passing the torch to Corey and Allison. I was fine with the romantic elements but they didn't pay off with a new Shape which I thought they were for sure going for.

After marathoning all Halloween films here my thoughts on the H40 timeline The first film (Halloween 2018) is about trauma and how people exploit it in their obsession of understanding evil. The second film (Halloween Kills) is about how fear brings out our worst and most animalistic nature as well as revenge/vigilante justice is nothing but a harmful and blinding fantasy. The third film (Halloween Ends) is about paranoia and hate does nothing but create new boogeyman in our society. Michael Myers isn't the only one and evil doesn't die with him in fact evil can take any shape manifest anywhere paranoia and a lack of compassion just gives it power. This trilogy is about trauma and tragedy how it breeds paranoia and fear about how the only way we can overcome is finding resolve.

Went to go watch this in theaters, best nap of my life.

I'm totally ready and waiting for what you have to say about Barbarian. I can't be the only one shook by that abrupt ending.

This "ending" to the trilogy didn’t feel like an ending AT ALL. I’m not really like hardcore fan of Halloween (the movies) I just liked watching it because of my stepdad. But I really liked the first two movies. It just felt like I was watching a romance movie with Allyson’s character. The kills weren’t even that prominent. And how the heck did they kill Michael that easy and quick if we saw in Halloween Kills that Michael murdered so many townspeople???

You know, if you want your new killer to be scary, maybe don’t open with him being a grown man bullied by high school band geeks.

Are you gonna make a video on “smile”? Actually great film with innovative cinematography work

Love the new hair cut FoundFlix👍

See, what really bothers me about this trilogy is they say it erases everything after 1 but treat it like the whole damn series happened. Why would Laurie live in fear for 40 years after a guy in a mask killed a couple of people? I live in Newfoundland, the literal least violent place on earth. I know a guy who, in his youth, killed 3 people and tried to kill himself. He lived in a small town of about 500 people. He got out (after a long, long time in prison) and lives back there now. He doesn't have any friends but the town moved on and nobody's afraid of the guy. Anyway, it's too far fetched for me and I believe that 1 through H20 was the (far) better timeline. Even if they just left them as siblings, Laurie could feel responsible for him and prepare. When H18 startef, he wasn't even an effective killer, two of his would-be victims escaped. The fuck is everyone on about? Tldr; they needed these films to take place before '18 to justify the fear and panic everyone is feeling. Original timeline (minus Resurrection) was far superior.
