Halloween Ends

Know from the start: Halloween Ends has some of the best kills in the franchise.

Being more ambitious than most films in the horror genre, Halloween Ends also perhaps falls on the wrong side of the divide between being scary in a fun way and being distressingly plausible.

It’s maybe disingenuous to say this, but the shift in tone and quality is so extreme that it feels as if Green has been let off his leash a little and allowed to make something far more in tune with the insightful, intimate, sensitive dramas upon which he made his name.

Halloween Ends is far from a great finale, but it’s a decent showcase for Jamie Lee Curtis, whose place in film history has long been assured because of this role. Will this be the last we see of Laurie Strode, or the “Halloween” storyline? It’s best to wait for the box-office reports. After all, franchises never die — they just change shape.

The scares are sad, puny little things. Even Jamie Lee Curtis seems to have lost the will to fight. It’s time that Myers and his mouldy old mask were laid to rest. Let’s hope nobody decides to disinter him yet again.

They say this is Halloween Ends. I say: Can we get that in writing?

It can’t end well. In fact, it ends badly. In every sense. The mystery of Myers has long since become deflated and inert, and when he is unmasked, the camera can’t quite be bothered to show us his pointless old face (unlike the unhelmeting of Darth Vader in Return of the Jedi, which did at least show us what the great villain looked like). The only thing that’s scary is the thought of how long this has all been going on.

I do appreciate it trying something new but it still doesn’t save this movie from how it massacred Michael……sort of.

Horror movie that claims to be the last movie of the series made in 2022. None of the episodes that have been called the last so far have been final. So a year or two later it could be retranslated as "Halloween Paranormal" or "Halloween Reincarnation". There's no peace for Michael without killing Laurie. In this film, for the first time, Michael trained a student. It was the first time he had the mask stolen. It was the first time he was beaten by someone else. It's the first time he's killed fewer people. And for the first time he's left without a mask. But for the first time, I can't say he died. Because he died dozens of times. He cannot die no matter what "he lives in our hearts". I'm also very curious how Michael sneaks into the houses. Think about it, the man who always moves slowly is dealing with a lock pick or something in front of the door. Or when you look there, you look again and it disappeared in 2 seconds. Does he run away with his heels hitting his butt at that time? Going back to the movie, I think it was a simpler-than-expected ending for a phenomenon serial killer. I would have expected a more striking and satisfying ending for a series that lasted more than 40 years. He nearly died of natural causes, and Laurie would be paranoid from waiting year after year. Before I finish my writing, I cannot help but say that I have always been a fan of the soundtrack of the film. I got goosebumps when I heard it after the opening scene. I am a fan of this movie. There is no sex or nudity in the movie.

Halloween ends was a good movie everyone enjoyed the movie by everybody just hated the ending ️ Because I think the ending was crazy with them just turning Michael Myers into ground beef and just going to end the franchise with Addison leaving with Michael's mask in her car and with Laurie Strode writing a book about Michael and this the movie Blumhouse who has now lost the rights to the franchise and Jamie Lee Curtis left the franchise after this movie because this was the last movie she was going to be in and this was a goodbye to her her character Laurie Strode and everybody also hated the new character Corey who was just in my opinion who was just in my opinion who wasn't a good character because I didn't like that he tried to keep Addison away from Laurie Strode and had to keep Laurie to believe that Michael was out there which Michael doesn't even show up it was just Corey wearing Michael's mask to try and get to leave Laurie and I hated that like Addison was stupid for the movie until Michael Myers comes after he retrieved his mask then he goes after Laurie Strode in the kitchen and then here comes Addison to save Laurie from being choked by Michael ! But I like how we see like the kid from 2018 Halloween and the woman from 2021 Halloween kills that's what I liked about the movie and I think it was a good conclusion to the franchise but just not in the way to a franchise who has been going on and on and on and on and on and on for so many years I really wish we got the actual ending with Addison v Corey & Laurie v Michael !

Confusing if you haven't see any of the previous films therefore making it hard it pick up. There was a flashback to the previous films to try and help but helps it does not. The "jumpscares" where very predictable making the film have a sense of lackluster. All in all this film is an okay way of passing time but it's just that.
