Halloween Ends is the end of the latest Halloween trilogy. Is the ending satisfying or disappointing AF like The Watcher? Read on dear friend.
The sequel to Halloween Kills (released around the same time in 2021), is the thirteenth instalment in the Halloween franchise.
This trilogy commenced back in 2018 film, serving directly in the Halloween timeline, of the 1978 OG film.
Starring Jamie Lee Curtis, Andi Matichak, Rohan Campbell, Will Patton, Kyle Richards & James Jude Courtney.
So far the finale has received mixed reviews from critics. Some praised the performances, kills and musical score. While others deemed it a weak conclusion to the trilogy, with some criticism aimed towards the climax. Critics nonetheless deemed it an improvement over its predecessor, Halloween Kills.
I enjoyed the dark, creating a serial killer storyline. However the other storyline, the one where after a mob attack, multiple ways to die, Michael Myers / The Shape returns.
It starts off slow, while building to pushing young Corey Cunningham to the edge.
We have had so many horror films this year, so if you are gonna release one it needs to stand out. This film sadly doesn't stand out.
Maybe the strong start to the trilogy was a sign that this should have just been a one off reunion film with Michael dying in the burning house at the end of the first film.
It plays out a bit like a soap opera, with a family, a town under siege. America's obsession with violent crimes, this does make the film feel a little like it glorifies the everyday American crime story.
Halloween Ends marks the end of the road. With one strong storyline, I'll pass this bad boy, 2.5 stars.
