This is something else. ‘It’ is something else.

Wow. That was unbelievable. Such a ride from beginning to end. "Halloween Ends" is not what I expected. It is far better. David Gordon Green has crafted such a beautiful conclusion in a way that doesn’t follow any of the previous movies. There’s a mystery transcending Mystic. He found a way to craft not suspense, but supernatural evil. Evil and violence as diseases or sicknesses to which any of us may be vulnerable. Maybe that's what made this unsettling. I felt vulnerable.

“Halloween Night 2019” appears on the screen. Now, this had me doing mental math for about ten minutes before I inevitably gave up the ghost. "Halloween 2018" and "Halloween Kills" take place on the same night 40 years after John Carpenter's original masterpiece Halloween. Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell) is our babysitter the following Halloween. When you see Laurie Strode that is this year, 2022, four years after Michael returned.

Welcome "Halloween Ends" with an open mind. It’s slow and steady suspense. As the scent of a candle slowly diffuses throughout a room Halloween Ends transforms into the Halloween, we all know and love.

The music will have you wondering if you’re in the right theater. I assure you that is indeed the case. The background music is like something from a cartoon. “What am I watching?” I thought. I don’t recall any Halloween movie starting this way. The movie opens with Corey babysitting for a married couple. Unimaginable tragedy strikes and the aftermath leaves him traumatized to the present day.

Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) narrates her memoir in progress at home with her granddaughter. Unlike the previous two installments, Laurie is living a normal life. My first thought is, “She is not prepared for Michael.” She has gone from living as a hermit in the woods awaiting Michael’s return to living in a town where she’s ostracized. From the townspeople lies a real sense that Michael is not a force of nature but either a run-of-the-mill serial killer suffering from mental impairment.
It is exactly the opposite which makes the shape so disturbing. There is no provocation. And where are these folks getting the idea Michael is impaired and a victim of abuse from Laurie? Absurd.

Michael is just evil seemingly transcendent at moments. Four years later, I witnessed Corey struggle with verbal abuse, self-blame, guilt, loss of a promising life & assault. But almost immediately you can tell something isn’t right with him. Something is missing, an emptiness has infiltrated not from the outside but from within. How is that possible? When you watch notice how Corey shifts in demeanor.

Allyson (Andi Matichak) has repaired the relationship with Laurie following the death of her mother. Outside of that Allyson is very lonely. Laurie is all she has yet it becomes clear she seeks a romantic partner. LAURIECOREY, PSYCHOPATH OR FREAKSHOW

Laurie is Corey’s savior, and dare I say friend when they first cross paths. Only she could empathize with his predicament. Both carry the “babysitter scar” of Michael in unique ways. It is asked, “which one are you freakshow or psychopath?”

A game of cat and mouse emerges between the two. In the absence of Michael, Corey fills in as a substitute teacher. He begins to exhibit “symptoms”. Rohan's character grows fascinated by Michael. He is present where the shape would’ve been during Carpenter’s original Halloween. The question becomes not who is Corey but what is he?

Notice how he moves from here on out. Let me ask you this: Is the shape Michael Myers as an individual or is it infectious like an idea or sickness?

Of course, Michael has to make an appearance otherwise it wouldn’t be Halloween. It is fitting where he’s been chilling all this time. Via a comment made by a homeless man, it’s revealed that Michael has been surviving not in hibernation mode.

Michael is aged and rusted in a sense. As he kills there’s a physical revival. Halloween Kills concluded with Laurie stating “The more he kills. The more he transcends.” Well, what does he transcend into? Gordon explores this and allows Michael to strike Laurie closer to home than ever before.

Michael has another enemy this go-round. Someone who seeks to take his power. Three epic battles are progressing and concluding at the same time.

Overall, Halloween Ends scares in all the right places. It’s unsettling to the core and edges you forward with intrigue. You won’t feel quite right when exiting the theater. G#d help you if you leave into the night.

Funny enough as I left the cinema someone yelled out “Is that Michael??!!” The response was, “No, that’s Jarred.”… Expand

The film tells the story of how when society thinks we're evil, we end up believing it and we start being evil. The plot parables are great, the subject, despite the fact that it is heavy, was lifted with extraordinary grace. This is brilliant psychological movie, but bad slasher. Enjoy what it is, not what it was advertised.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ****Spoiler Review****

For those not liking this movie y'all are missing the point. The parallels between Lauri, Michael, and Corey was it was yrs later and people had moved on no longer enraged or fearing Michael which is what gave him strength (explained in Halloween Kills). From the aftermath the town then focused their ire on Lauri. Both Michael (physically) and Lauri (mentally) were left weakened from the experience. Corey who was weak, was bullied but grew stronger after his encounter with Michael and killing the homeless man and the rest of his victims. Michael grew stronger when Corey brought Officer Mulaney in the sewer to be killed (where Michael lived as a homage to the Return of Michael Myers where he was nursed back to health before killing the homeless man who nursed him). After killing Nurse Deb Michael grew slightly stronger the same way Lauri grew stronger once she realized she had to protect her granddaughter from Corey. Corey's intent was for he or Michael to kill Lauri so Allyson (even though she was gonna leave) wouldn't have anymore ties to Haddonfield. With Michael back the town would've forgotten about Corey as being a psycho. In the end Michael wasn't fueled by enough anger or fear to be the killing machine he truly is but still could've killed Lauri who didn't have enough hope left to fight him. Michaels main scene in this movie was just to finish the job and kill the ultimate Final Girl Lauri which was the culmination of all of these movies. Also I think Corey killed that kid Jeremy I don't think it was an accident like it was portrayed in the movie. A Director's Cut will be great for this movie to piece certain things together. This movie'll be a Cult Classic as more people start to "get it". Mark my words.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A departure from the last two movies. We see Michael's protege doing most of the killing. While we don't see Michael Myers as much it goes to show that evil is everywhere and anyone can take form of the shape. A decent ending to this trilogy closing the final chapter on the saga between Michael Myers and Laurie Strode.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Acabo de salir del cine y aquí voy. De toda la saga esta entrega FINAL es la más divisiva de todas, tiene serios problemas de ritmo y a nivel argumental empieza siendo muy errática e irregular, te plantean de manera muy positiva la evolución de los supervivientes lo que hace que uno se pregunte el como se sobrelleva un ataque homicida en tan poco tiempo hasta que llega el momento en donde todo comienza a descarrilarse. Algunos la amarán, otros la odiarán al extremo y por un instante podrán empatizar con todos los que vieron Viernes 13 Parte IX en su momento, pero con la diferencia de que ENDS sabe redimirse y con un demonio que lo logra, el tercer acto es épicamente satisfactorio.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Halloween Ends was better then the last one but was for me somewhat of a disappointing conclusion to the stories of Michael and Laurie. The writing was main problem it just wasn't great; the dialogue was cheesy at time, I really didn't like the decision to have the character Corey try to be the new Michael Myers and do the majority of the killings in the movie he basically replaced Michael in the majority of the movie, I didn't love the way Michael died, I liked the fight between Laurie and Michael's fight, but felt it was somewhat anticlimactic with crushing his body, and I didn't like the small screentime of Lindsey and of Michael and Laurie together but I like that they still were able to come up with interesting kills and that they really killed Michael Myers. The performances of Jamie Lee Curtis, Rohan Campbell, Andi Matichak, and Kyle Richards were superb. The special effects were outstanding. Overall I wanted more from Halloween Ends, the conclusion of the Halloween series and the characters of Michael Myers and Laurie Strode.… Expand

Some parts I wish they would have explored deeper, like Michael living in the sewer for 4 years. But I enjoyed the ending and Laurie finally getting to live her life.
I do feel like they left it open to make more. Laurie closes out her book saying that evil doesn't die, it just changes shape. I have said since the end of the first one that Allyson was going to be the new Michael. That would be an interesting concept...to have one of Laurie's relatives releasing that kind of terror into the world.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly, it was not as bad as the reviews have said. You need to not watch this expecting Oscar-worthy performances. Watch this as just another Halloween slasher movie & a continuation of the Lori saga. The story continuation itself was excellent, JLC's acting was fantastic, & while it wasn't much of a hack & slack film like most of the previous ones (I didn't think the last one was very scary either) it was still an average movie worth watching. If I had to classify this as anything, it's not a typical horror movie, I'd consider a new sub-category: horror-drama. That's what most of this & the previous film seemed like to me.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What I like about This film is that unlike many of its predecessors, there is a large focus on the reasoning for its villain's killings. The focus of the film is on Curtis, a young man who slowly descends into madness after accidently killing a child he was babysitting. Curtis is a very complex and well-constructed character, and the film's general story is very good. However, the lack of focus on Michael Myers and Laurie Makes this an unsatisfactory "conclusion." Although, if you pretend that this is some type of remake, or a standalone Psychological Thriller, then there's a whole lot of enjoyment to be had.… Expand
