This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What a let down after the first 2 movies in this modern sequel trilogy to the original film. Halloween 2018 was great, Halloween kills had its flaws mostly the irritating/cringe chanting of "evil dies tonight", and the shoddy end sequence that's got no follow through. And that's one of the big issues with Halloween ends, it doesn't pick up where the last one ended, like kills did. Instead you get out of place music, and an introduction of a new character who's entire presence in the film is what ruins it, its unnecessary, and it takes up 95% of the plot, there is almost zero Michael in the film, and does nothing to build lore or background or even explain how the hell he is even still alive after being beaten, stabbed repeatedly, and shot no insignificant number of times. And the new characters ark is not even interesting, his character is annoying, his ark is worse, and we are supposed to care about his inclusion in a movie about Michael Myers.
His addition renders the iconic slasher protag to a short cameo in his own film, and the climax fight, was short and very one sided against him. This finale is akin in quality to season 8 ending game of thrones, it takes what was set up, and all the potential, and just throws it away, Halloween ends ruins this trilogy, and sends it off with a stinker of a whimper. The only enjoyable moment for me, was the way they killed the radio DJ, i thought it was amusing, and had great effects, but again was not even MM doing the kill. If you need closure, watch the film, but in my opinion its not worth the time, and better just assume MM dies off camera of his injuries, after kills.

Average at best. Halloween ends does not bring memorable moments to the screen. With the exception of a few murders, this film is milder than its predecessors and doesn't really stand out it in any way.

Which is perfectly okay, that doesn't diminish your knowledge or appreciation for good horror... but just don't go around saying you are because to a true Halloween fan, you're embarrassing yourself.

As a lifetime Halloween fanatic (i.e. a Michael Myers buff) who was very much invested in the last two movies, Ends is like waking up on Christmas morning to a Festivus pole. If you expect this movie to reward you or resolve any of the story so far, then prepare to have the bluest balls you have ever had. It might have value as a movie on its own, but to have this as the trilogy capper (complete with a randomly pasted-on climactic fight) is unforgivably lazy. To have Michael at the height of his powers at the end of Kills, only to lead into *this* version of him... what a giant, neon middle finger. They just froze and gave up as if they forgot how storytelling works. They really thought they could take us for a ride, kick us out of the car two thirds of the way there and go off-road. Hey ding dongs, FIRST you finish what you started, THEN in a few years you try your little alternate Michael-verse side-quest concept crap.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Michael Myers i back and this time... he's an old weak fart who can barely stand on his own legs, 4 years after taking on a dussin armed people like it was nothing. At least he is from the little we actually see of him. In this final movie he's only a side character. Instead, we have a slow burn psychological drama thriller about Laurie's young granddaughter Allyson falling in love with a bad boy who has a dark side and is driving a motorcycle (yes, really).
And Laurie Strode has decided to stop hating and fearing Michael (who's not much to fear anymore, to be honest) and instead are writing a Self Help book about her experience (again, yes, really).
And despite the director claiming Michael doesn't care about Laurie he still ends up in a battle with her once again, that feels more like two old people fighting at a nursing home.
This is not how a long time Halloween fan wanted this series to end, or how I expected it to be after Halloween Kills that was as different from this movie as it can be.

A little too disturbing of a beginning that doesn’t even have anything to do with Michael Myers himself. Plus they love violently killing kids too much in this new trilogy. Which is even a bigger turn off than killing dogs or cats in HorrorA little too disturbing of a beginning that doesn’t even have anything to do with Michael Myers himself. Plus they love violently killing kids too much in this new trilogy. Which is even a bigger turn off than killing dogs or cats in Horror movies.
Also a little late in the game to introduce a new character named Corey wrongly accused of murder. With everything more about him than Michael. It feels like a Halloween movie but a slow one with not enough Michael Myers. It’s more about Allyson falling for Corey as he loses his humanity more and more. Sorry, but for the last of the series. We want Michael, not a poser.
The movie isn’t the Laurie and Michael centered movie we wanted. You’d think it would be one big revenge movie since Michael killed Laurie’s daughter. Instead I am not sure Laurie even mentions her daughter once.
Halloween Ends doesn’t remember it’s about Laurie and Michael until like the last 10 minutes. It is a decent but totally unfocused movie. That tries so hard to be not what you expected it to be. However you might wish it was predictable and the movie you were hoping for.

If you somehow did not get your fill of bloody violence and terror at the hands of Michael Myers in the previous entry, Halloween Kills, you will probably find this movie lacking. However, if you're willing to accept a more slow-paced thriller with a new take on the Halloween mythos, you'll probably really enjoy this movie. This feels like the kind of movie not made for general audiences, but could become a cult classic in ten years. 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

Bold move,The "finale" to the Halloween series is lukewarm to slasher fans, at best. Halloween Ends introduces a main character to be Michael Myers’ apprentice, but becomes an origin character story to be the premise for most of the film. Bold move, but it’s a finale film for a reason. The fans want proper closure to Laurie Strode and her tormenter, Michael Myers. This idea could of been attempted in the many Halloween sequels leading up this, but the Director and the writers (four in total) chose the wrong time to attempt this strategy. We do not see the Boogeyman (Myers) until like halfway through the movie and barely see him for more than 20 minutes. Laurie Strode is involved a little more often but is more of the secondary cast for this movie. The movie introduces 2 new and uncompelling characters and feels like a set up for a sequel. Too bad (and thankfully) there will not be one. Expand

The director claimed Corey was introduced to get a 'different perspective', though the movie seemed to add him just to fill a massive void in the story, that would have been there had they not. I don't think this was a good move as it wasThe director claimed Corey was introduced to get a 'different perspective', though the movie seemed to add him just to fill a massive void in the story, that would have been there had they not. I don't think this was a good move as it was completely off-putting and a lot of other things in the movie seemed like they were added in for satirical purposes, like they were trying to make fun of themselves for making the movie in the first place.

The filming was somewhat okay, but everything else was awful. It's hard to come up with new stories to a series that has been going for so long and has already had to erase so many mistakes in the past, but this wasn't the way to do it. What a horrible end, but I guess with that, they couldn't do much worse.

Sadly its more disappointment with another action thriller take on the horror classic. Literally dragging the bones of its lead menace into yet another murder spree with a new spread of fetishistic kills - tongue on a record player anyone? The fan fiction screenplay and pacing issues simply reduce plot to near exposition removing any tension from building and fails to provide any true scares. An entertaining mess of a film.

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 "HalloweenHorror 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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What a genuinely disappointing ending to what started so promising. The first DGG Halloween was very enjoyable. The second was a letdown - filled with stupid characters and bad writing - but set up an epic showdown... that didn't happen until the last 15 minutes of this film. Unfortunately, the director/writers tried to do too much and ignored precedent that proved true yet again. As interesting as it may seem in a pitch meeting to do the antithesis of Michael Meyers (intentionally killed his sister while she was supposed to be babysitting him) with Corey (accidentally killed the kid he was babysitting)... it's not what the fans wanted. The fans wanted Michael v Laurie - as was teased in the previous two films. Instead, we got 90 mins of doofus Ted Bundy (he was being bullied by marching band high school students for goodness sake!!!) and Final Girl's version of Romeo & Juliet and 15 minutes of what was advertised. Speaking of... It's clear the studio knew what audiences wanted, because the film was marketed as Michael v Laurie. The decision to allow this garbage to be made was absolutely disrespectful to the audience and a clear money grab. Hopefully, this occurs less and less now that legal precedence has been established to allow audiences to sue movie studios for false advertising (Universal is being sued for advertising Ana De Armas was in a movie even though her role was cut from the film).

In the end, this movie will go down as the 'Friday the 13th Part IV' installment of the Halloween franchise. Even if they take the series to space next, it'll be more memorable than whatever film this was.

Giving it a 2 instead of a zero because I did enjoy the 10-15 minutes we got after Michael puts the mask back on and finally faces off with Laurie.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is in a strange spot to me, Halloween 2018 is a phenomenal continuation of the original story, Halloween Kills rode on that fame and continued in all the wrong ways leading to a much worse film, and now finally Halloween Ends. Most of the characters "relationships" are build unnaturally fast and people seems to just be irrational in more ways than one. The characters still make strange decisions (I know it's a horror movie and the characters are never smart, but this is a new and shocking amount of stupidity.) Myers has a sidekick who just becomes his sidekick with little to no reasonable or rational explanation. He wasn't even the heir to Myers because he still dies. The final fight to end Myers was lackadaisical in writing, I feel like it didn't have the emotional grab like the originals or the 2018 one. This movie does have some good parts, I liked the whole beginning half of the movie, but it takes a weird direction as soon as Myers is shown that just didn't work for me. Expand
