They did Michael and Laurie dirty big time. Halfway through I started playing on my phone. The plot was a mess. Hardly saw Michael in it. When we finally did he was weak and got his ass kicked and his mask stolen by some psycho kid who started to look at Michael as a role model of sorts. Then they do a tag team murder? … Expand

I would rather be in a human centipede over rewatching this. It was somehow worse than Welcome to Racoon City and even the netflix series. Get in the bin directors and film.

No suspense, confusing plot, weirdly a romance thriller at best. Some good kills and makeup but this was a let down.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went into this with an open mind. Overall, I really enjoyed the movie. Some parts felt rushed, like the relationship between Allyson and Corey. 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

I signed up for a movie, where Michael Myers just kills his victims in the most brutal way possible but instead I got a love story where our beloved killer only gets less than 10 minutes of screentime. Screw the mfs who wrote this!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you enjoy the original Halloween films, particularly 1 & 2, then you’ll probably want to watch regardless of reviews. The reviews shoveling praise onto this film must be bots. Let’s just say it’s disappointing compared to the previous two films, which weren’t standouts on their own beyond returning to the franchise roots. A solid 40min of slow buildup for a character and relationship that seems foreign and inauthentic to the established characters. It was unique in that it tried to convey how evil can grip anyone, but it just wasn’t executed well.
Plenty of gore, and quality kills. Very little suspense and a disappointing plot all in all. It completely ignores how he could endure so much physical trauma without death only to die by a couple stab wounds and arterial bleeding in a five minute conclusion to 40 years of terror.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After 12 previous entries, fans deserve a better--more satisfying--conclusion than what's on offer here. John Carpenter's Halloween is a model of narrative economy, succeeding largely on expert pacing and atmospheric dread. From the beginning, the focus is on Laurie and the Shape. The latter assumes a prominent role even when he's off-screen as the other characters either talk about him or allude to stand-ins (the oft-cited 'boogeyman').

The team behind this sadly hodge-podge affair take the opposite tack. They try to juggle multiple concurrent plotlines, none of which are especially cohesive or interesting. Contrary to the film's marketing, Laurie isn't even the main character; instead, the focal point (insomuch as there is one) is her granddaughter, Allyson and Allyson's misunderstood love interest, Corey. Their supposed romance is not only dimwitted but stultifyingly dull. Moreover, the Shape barely appears and when he does, his behavior is inexplicable set against longstanding canon. This mystifying choice is compounded by ham-fisted attempts to turn him into a literalized metaphor for the dissemination of evil. Let's just say David Gordon Green is no Luis Bunuel.

Unfortunately, these attempts to give the film 'layers' it can't support contribute to the film's overarching aimlessness. For a film that bears the weight of capping off a cult favorite series, it's surprisingly meandering. Characters make decisions without any evident rationale or simply against all reason. The result is a chopped-up mess--and not the kind you'd expect given the genre. Don't get me wrong. I'm sympathetic to the notion of doing something unexpected. But that's about all I can admire about this effort. Its formlessness renders any attempts at real scares or tension moot. Only in the climactic 15 minutes or so does the film find its footing, however shaky. The ultimate showdown between Laurie and the Shape is all-too-simple and brief--hardly the cathartic event fans hoped for. The post-violence coda, which has the feel of an 80s-style Afterschool Special, only adds insult to injury.… 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

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.

The 1st hour and a half of the movie isn't really even needed. Don't even get me started on the awful ending. The 1st movie of this "reboot/continuation" was by far the best, they should have ran with that ending and had Michael pull Laurie into the fire.… Expand

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
