Halloween Ends

Another failed sequel of a classic horror flick. There was no Micheal Myers anywhere for most of the movie! That shouldn't be the final movie of a legendary horror movie character. We focused way too much on side characters, wasting so much time of the movie and taking away screen time from Michael for no reason. Laurie was once again the best in the movie. The actress played her role really well and I enjoyed seeing her probably for the last time. Her granddaughter as a character was annoying, like those straight to VHS Disney movies where the kid wod turn against their parents for stupid reasons, that was her in the entire movie... It was disappointing but I'm glad I watched it because it ends a huge franchise I've been watching since middle school. It was a pop corn movie and nothing more, but still an okay pop corn movie.

John Carpenter and Debra Hill produced a very quirky and punky horror movie in 1978. It has its flaws but it remains one of the most effective slasher movies ever made.

It did not warrant a sequel let alone a franchise all of its own and with each and every sequel comes diminishing returns which comes as no surprise to me since there is no story left to tell.

Blumhouse are no longer a credible film studio they are simply eking out as much cash as possible and exploiting a gullible fan base who hang to the absurd notion that 'this one will be better than the last'. Dreadful uninspiring nonsense.

Without spoilers, this movie is one of the most mis-marketed movies I've ever seen. If you watch the trailers, thinking you know what movie you're about to see, think again. Also, I thought this movie brought nothing new to the table as far as Halloween lore, and insightful explanations of pretty much any questions we may have had going in, and ultimately felt like a giant let down. Positives? Jamie Lee Curtis did a great job, I enjoyed the score, certain elements of the ending which I obviously can't get into here, and a few moments of good humor. Not the worst Halloween movie..

5/10 for me.

First, this trylogy should have been only one movie with a better conclusion. The third movie is even worse than the second. And the second was weak.

Second, I don't understand how you can do a great Halloween (2018) comeback, but then two of the worst Hallowen movies from all time.

Last, Halloween Ends (2022) is poor as a movie. Sometimes embarrassing. The script is bad, pretty bad. Acting is horrendous, soap opera level. And the conclusion is a joke. A bad one.

To add, Michael deserved better than this. Hopefully in the future someone can fix it, and give it the conclusion that deserves as an horror icon.

I am not going to tear this down like some others have because it truth the movie is neither a 1 or a 2, nor is it a 10 or a 9, a 5 is exactly where this film should land.

What started off with a great pick-up with Halloween 2018, slowly began to derail when it moved onto Kills, and here I thought we would have something to at least restore some of the awesomeness of 2018, and wash some of the stink of kills, but NOPE... we get a real mess of a story that some how steals the voodoo powers of Charles Lee Ray (CHucky) and spins him into the Halloween Universe... it is a tragedy.

I mean come on, this is the best they had to offer to us? It is not as bad as some have made it out to be, definitely not as bad as the Rob Zombie entries, but this definitely is a TEXTBOOK way to NOT end a trilogy of films.

I don't want to get into spoilers but if you read this before watching, go in with LOW expectations and you might come out not feelin as ripped off.
