Halloween Ends (Gordon-Green, October 14, 2022) Movie • Page 13

I was thinking of paying to see this in theaters this weekend but based off the reviews I will just watch it on Peacock for free. The last one had terrible immediate reviews but I honestly didn't hate it, however, this feels different lol

If I can just get mostly Michael Myers wondering the streets slashing people then I am happy. I am nervous we aren't getting this.

 

awkwaaaarrrddd

 

This was my favorite of the three, sorry

 

I’ve got bad news for you, friend.

 

I had a feeling lol

 

Midway through I kinda thought Corey was going to try to kill Laurie but Michael would actually save her and then he’d just walk away and they’d go their separate ways. At least that didn’t happen

 

this was competently made, directed and acted which already takes it out of the bottom 3 of this franchise lol

the more I think about it the more 5 might be my least favourite Halloween film. just an ugly-ass movie to look at and experience, feels so unnecessarily mean-spirited from the moment Rachel dies, the rest is a dull exhausting slog. at least 6 and Resurrection are funny bad

 

I have no idea what I thought of this. I don’t think I’ll ever have the urge to watch it again.

I guess I appreciate trying to have a different take on the movie, but meh. Didn’t do much for me.

 

You know it's a bad Halloween movie when I don't like it. Sheesh. Bottom three. Agree that the idea in theory is interesting, but the execution is just ass. They did these characters so fucking dirty lol. Incredibly frustrating and unsatisfying.

 

Yeah, but they could also do something different and have it make sense, both tonally and otherwise

 

liked this quite a bit more than Kills but not nearly as much as 2018. middle of the pack for the series as a whole too. it's fine. im glad this group is moving onto the exorcist.

 

The people of Haddonfield have gained major brainworms since 18.

 

My brother surprising liked it and had some decent thoughts on it. Might post em later.

 

man I must be way too harsh on some of these other sequels cos DGG coulda personally stepped out of the film, punched me in the face, stole my keys and drove off and I still wouldn't put this in my bottom 3

 

The only thing ends is missing is a scene with a white horse and Nights in White Satin.

 

This is hilariously bad

 

The DJ and blow torch kills alone put this ahead of Kills

 

That movie literally has dozens of good kills though lol

 

It’s possible that recency bias is influencing my take here. There’s a lot about this movie that didn’t work, but also some big swings I kinda liked?

Also I haven’t seen 2018 or Kills since they came out, so I’d like to rewatch both and see where I’m at

 

I wasn’t a fan of this and feel it’s all over the place. It tried to do something different, but was not a good ending…

 

Entire town spontaneously forms a parade route at midnight on Halloween to the local junkyard

Arrives at junkyard and doesn't acknowledge that they find 5 bodies right there, including 4 children

All celebrate throwing a dead guy into a meat grinder

Cut to Final Scene

 

Ultimately, I had a good time watching it. I left feeling that it was a weird movie for the most part and a strange entry into the Halloween franchise.

I like Allison and Laurie. And even the Cory guy had a good story arc, but in the third and last film of the trilogy? He should have been introduced in Kills, at least. It feels odd that they seem to have implied that they had the whole series plotted out because this feels so out of place. I just dunno what to think beyond how much this reminded me of CHRISTINE.

Also, needed more Lindsay. Like, seeing her as a bartender is cool but — why was she at Laurie’s house one night out of nowhere?

Lots of unpack. As I said, ultimately a good compelling story and I had a good time. Can’t ask for much more I suppose. And the score was great.
