I think if Corey came out on Halloween (2018) and the writers left him survive throughout the 1st movie and also Halloween Kills, then the events for Halloween Ends would’ve been more satisfying because his character develop throughout the 3 movies and it would’ve come out as a huge shocker. It would’ve been more fulfilling that way tbh

I think the stuff with Corey would've been way better if he wasn't introduced in the last movie of a trilogy. As is, his whole storyline simultaneously feels like it was rushed but also incomplete Ends feels like it ignores a lot of the narrative and thematic setup of Kills, which just makes that second movie feel even more like it was just there to pad things out so they could actually have a trilogy.

I came out of the theater thinking he probably should’ve been introduced as Allison’s Ben Tramer in Halloween 2018. Like, have Allison crushing on him be a well known secret amongst her circle of friends and they tease her about it like with Laurie, which would then lead to things boiling over with Cameron cheating on her at the dance (and I guess give Oscar that much more to be envious about in his own pursuit of Allison). Then have Corey make a cameo appearance in Kills where he’s in costume and is almost hit by the inmate who jacked the couple’s car (a lil wink and nod to Ben’s fate in OG Halloween II), before finally going all in on his character in Ends. Hell, him just dressing up as Michael in this would be a whole ‘nother meta reference to Ben Tramer lol Idk, pre-existing connections like that would’ve helped me buy into Allison and Corey’s relationship more tbh.

The whole movie was driven by Allyson's relationship with Corey but there was no explanation about why she was immediately in love with him aside from both having trauma? Like she just immediately took his side above her grandmother's even though they just met??? I literally couldn't get past that. Also the trilogy did not have a clear thread of if Michael Myers was a killable human or a supernatural force and this movie made that even less clear.

But having that in a Halloween movie was odd and confusing and left way more questions than answers, especially for the final installment.

The point of his storyline was to show that Michael isn't unique, that he's not a Boogeyman. The evil that consumed him can also affect other people, like it affected Corey, whether it happened naturally or the town made him into a "boogeyman". It all helps with the demystifyication of Myers, which ties back with the end speech of Halloween Kills and, in my opinion, why he's so weak in the movie and can be killed

I agree 100%. I understand why people were disappointed, but personally, I feel that Halloween Ends was the most low key and grounded film in the franchise since the original. Maybe because I am an old fart and prefer "slower" films over lots of action, but I like that the film took its time and didn't give us an hour of Laurie and Michael duking it out Terminator/Marvel style. The call backs were more subtle this go around, too. Loved the "Halloween 3" font for the credits and now I know why DGG said the film would have a "Christine" vibe. The cinematography was the most "Cundey-esque" of the trilogy imo. And come on, who hasn't been aching for a 'muzac' version of Don't Fear the Reaper? Wish my grocery store played tracks like that. 🤪PS: This is coming from somebody whose parents put them in therapy when they were 10 (35 years ago) because I was so obsessed with the series that they feared it might have turned me into a psychopath.

For being the end of the saga, they disregarded a lot that was mentioned in the previous movies, like why did Michael kill his sister, why he keeps going back to his family house and what is he looking at through the window. Like, those seemed very important questions at the time, and then he was just living at a sewer like just hiding and basically co existing with that other old man, but since when Michael just doesn't kill somebody? He kills everyone on his way to well, basically go to that room and stare through that window, and also it would be also meaningful to know why was he after Laurie, but also allegedly wasn't but then he was? Yes, definitely the trilogy had a lot of things that started and then were completely forgotten and left behind and felt more like a new beginning with a rushed ending that was very inconclusive, but I did enjoyed watching it; I also felt very confused and even cringed in some parts, but I liked it. Also, I was kind of let down by the fact that Michael's presence was kind of meaningless even in the way it was cinematographically portrayed, if that makes sense.

To me David Gordon Green's Halloween is about the victims and not MIchael. It's about Laurie, her family and the town. I never saw these new movies with Michael as the main character. I loved Ends. It is different and not another boring copy paste Halloween movie of Michael just killing a bunch of random people.

The more I saw how Allison and Corey’s relationship played out, I couldn’t help but think of the Mr. Sandman song from some of the older Halloween movies. Their relationship correlates a lot with the song, I feel. Allison in Ends is the most lonely she’s been since losing all her friends and both parents. Fate, Mr. Sandman, what have you, brings her a “dream” in the form (or shape) of Corey. He’s a kindred spirit for her, with a lonely heart like Pagliacci and lots of wavy hair like Liberace. Felt like the writers were trying hard to finally give the song proper significance or meaning to the franchise. I was honestly surprised it didn’t play during the credits or something.

To clarify a little more, I thought the "mob" was too on the nose on Halloween Kills and got annoyed with mostly the whole movie being about minorities being killed by Michael. And as they progressed to this whole "he doesn't die", I felt it got too "supernatural" and just couldn't be finalized. So I liked this sub-plot in Halloween 2022 that evil is made through hate, and that it is being transferred, with Michael actually being killed. So I left the movie more satisfied, eventhough Halloween Kills has cooler deaths, better dialogue and better characters and horror overall.

Firstly I actually kind of liked Halloween Ends. I think personally the problem doesn't lie with this film more so with the whole franchise. What I'm referring to is the very simple premise of the first film, and turning this very simple idea into a franchise, with an idea about a killer stalking babysitters the only way to make more films is to do something different, I feel Ends does have these different ideas. I really can't think of a way that this film would be more satisfying without it turning into the 2018 film again. Like you can't have Michael just going after Laurie again without new ideas attached to it, otherwise it's just the rinse repeat stalk, kill big fight finish that we have been getting for 40 years. To move this franchise forward 13 films in you can't keep using that same structure. I'm not saying this film is perfect by any means, I think the ideas could have been more fleshed out and explained but overall I like how it tried to do something different. Just my thoughts anyway.

I personally loved it, the undertones of victim blaming and being viewed as evil eventually turning you evil deeply resonated with me. The way they killed michael felt very sudden and i wish there was more meat to the story.

I’m glad people liked it. I’m a hardcore Halloween fan and I hated it. I would watch Kills a million times before watching Ends again 😂 Just throw away established characters and storyline for a new guy named Corey. Allyson still doesn’t believe grandmother and trusts a weird guy she just met?. Would’ve been a great spinoff or anthology movie. Not as the FINALE of the Michael and Laurie storyline!!

i just saw this tonight and i was confused as well. the beginning scene and the last like 20 minutes were good. the middle had me confused and wondering why they would make the "last" movie so character based and focused on some completely random guy that they bring in during the final movie out of all 3 movies they could have done it with. just felt like so many ideas in one but i liked it.
@bombeproductions4216 Жыл бұрын
This movie had SO MUCH potential. When Corey died the movie ESCALATED and became beautiful. It almost brought tears to my eyes seeing Alison and Laurie fight and that was what they should have focused on. They didn’t even care ONE bit about Karen. Personally, I would have followed Laurie and Alison as Alison falls into depression, shutting off. She constantly argues with Laurie and soon we see she is haunted by her mother’s memory (Karen makes psychological cameos throughout the movie talking to Alison). Murders start to happen which throws Laurie away from her peace. She and Hawkins investigate and their relationship builds. Alison meets a new toxic guy who is obsessed with Michael, turning into a copycat, similar to Corey. Then the conflict between Laurie and Alison about Laurie hunting down and killing Corey comes in and Alison also blames Laurie for letting her mom die. Alison leaves like she did. And I guess I like the idea of a rundown Michael but I feel like they could have played on Michael being creepy and actually a shadowy figure in sewer. I could see a scene where Laurie chases Corey into the skewer and ends up fighting against Corey and Michael. Michael ends up killing Corey and stalks Laurie. Meanwhile Alison is still upset so she is driving away. And basically the end of the film could still play the same way it did (Just ending the film with a funeral for Karen and showing how Alison accepts her trauma and goes out to finish Michael with Laurie). I also like a finale showdown in a sewer between Laurie and Michael and I think they could even include the humorous kid from 2018 and do a dynamic with Lindsey and him and they talk about being hunted as a kid with Michael and the audiences could have got laughs from that. But Corey gets to them and to raise stakes he kills them both because he is trying to honor Michael. Basically the message is that even though Michael has gone missing the trauma he left behind destroyed everyone’s lives. Michael was more than a night time story but a curse of haddonfield. He left a mark on Laurie for years and years, even taking her daughter. He took Alison’s innocence from her and his evil infected Corey’s mind even if he was lurking in the dark. Lindsey could have fallen into drugs which is why she decided to open a public. Michael isn’t ‘t powerful because he can snap your arm in one go. He is powerful because he could haunt you from just the memory of his evil haunting eyes.

You know the meme of the lady drinking kombucha? That was my series of facial reactions. I really thought it'd be a town manifesting evil. Like, it was fun because my husband's favorite killer is Michael, so we were happy to see nods to his mannerisms but we were dragging it the rest of the time. If we had actually been in a theater and couldn't talk, it would have been really disappointing.

I'm really divided with this one. I wasn't going in expecting much. I had quite low expectations. I was more nervous than anything else. And after about an hour I sort of felt my leg start tapping, and the urge to check my phone to see how long was left. The first act was just drawn out. The Corey storyline was fine for me, it just took way too long to happen and then didn't amount to much in the end. The third act should've been much longer. And Michael should've actually felt like a threat. I feel like I could've fought this version of Michael. Overall, not the worst Halloween movie, it'll probably gain a huge cult following in the next few years, like the Rob Zombie movies have. In a ranking of the Halloween movies it'll probably place around the middle for me Edit: I rewatched it, and I have to say. I fucking love it now. It still places around the same in my ranking, around 5th or 6th out of 12. But I just really really like it.

I'm definitely in the minority, but I have to admit: despite some of its storytelling problems, I really loved this one. The ambiguity, the sense that The Shape is ever-present and just waiting for an opportunity to enter someone new, since it's being held back by its aging host. I'm sure the series will continue, probably under a new studio and a new continuity, but I'm glad they experimented with this trilogy. Great review, and even though I landed on it a bit differently, I really appreciate your insights on all things horror.

While I can understand your points for not liking this movie (especially the disjointed feel and "strange" relationship of Allyson and Corey) I think I really enjoyed this movie after my first watch. It gives us the strongest Laurie Strode performance out of the entire franchise, and that is half the reason some people love Halloween so much. JLC gave a great performance and Laurie felt like a true, developed character. Yes, Michael could (and maybe should have) been in it more, but considering the immense beat down he sustained in Kills, it is no wonder he would be weak and feeble in hiding. I see it as a fresh and unique take in a franchise that is known for repetitive tropes, something fans can look back on and say "this is completely different from other entries and I like that." Appreciate the reviews as always!

*Spoiler* Why is no one speaking about Corey’s body? Michael killed him, but remember, Michael passed his curse onto him in the sewers, and evil doesn’t die. Unless you put it through a grinder. But the next film will open with Corey’s body being wheeled into the autopsy center the same night and Corey will open his eyes blah blah and kill all the nurses and doctors, etc.

I didn’t like the lack of Michael Myers. I could see passing the torch if it was a build up. It was instant as soon as Michael touched him. He murdered the homeless guy immediately. Also, Michael has came across so many bad people but he senses darkness in Corey who accidentally killed a kid?!? It wasn’t on purpose. He would sense darkness similar as him in someone. Michael being bullied was laughable. Reminds me of resurrection when Busta Rhymes was yelling at Michael. I did like that Laurie got a happy ending.

I appreciated they went for something bold and new and paid some homage to the anthology concept established in the franchise earlier wiry H3. But I think it’s better to view this as a standalone movie that happens to be made by DGG, whereas H18 and HK are part 1 and 2 of a different MM story

I thought the Corey plot line was fine (some decisions had me baffled), but it was a risk that they took which I appreciated. It just took way too much time for a whole lot of nothing.

I wish they combined characters with Corey and her Allyson’s love interest or his friend in the first film or at least originally introduced Corey earlier in the trilogy. He seems so misplaced and the whole movie feels like Corey is Peter in og Spider-Man 3’s Venom plot with no redemption arc and then Laurie and Michael fighting at the end for 10 minutes. What happened to the whole plot of “Michael not caring about Laurie”?

I would’ve been so mad if I had paid to watch this in the theatre. I was very surprised by this movie, and not in a good way. Just very odd choices, as you said. I thought Michael was going to rip Corey’s head off, but I guess he just snapped his neck? My theory is Corey isn’t actually dead, as he now has some level of supernatural power. I was half expecting to see the mask be picked up at the end, with it being understood it’s him, and he becomes the new shape, but.. 🤷🏻

Very accurate review! I think you pretty much nailed exactly how I felt. I would have liked to see more with Michael. It's unique, but does not fit well with the trilogy at all. I also felt that they threw Lindsay, a survivor from the original in the movie without a real story....odd.
