Know from the start: Halloween Ends has some of the best kills in the franchise. Read full review

If there is one lesson that “Halloween Ends” — hell, that this entire trilogy, this entire franchise — easily imparts, with blood and guts and terror to spare, it’s that horror never really ends. It just takes a different shape. This story surely will, too, but for now, it’s concluded in fine fashion. Read full review

This is a movie that’s just good enough at a handful of things without really being great at any one. The who’s-going-to-live, who’s-going-to-die of it is compelling enough, though never quite white knuckle intense. And while there is some thematic heft, it’s never explored quite deeply enough to leave you thinking about it after you leave the theater. The acting is solid from top to bottom, if never quite delicious. Read full review

Give Green props for all that he got right, bringing Curtis back and making her the focus, for starters. But all involved seem to have painted themselves into a narrative corner that they weren’t able to write their way out of. Read full review

Halloween Ends is far from a great finale, but it’s a decent showcase for Jamie Lee Curtis, whose place in film history has long been assured because of this role. Will this be the last we see of Laurie Strode, or the “Halloween” storyline? It’s best to wait for the box-office reports. After all, franchises never die — they just change shape. Read full review

The Michael versus Laurie showdown delivers — but for the most part, Halloween Ends is an unsatisfying closing chapter for this continuity. In trying to grapple with the horror beneath Michael Myers’ mask, it gets lost up its own abyss. Read full review

It can’t end well. In fact, it ends badly. In every sense. The mystery of Myers has long since become deflated and inert, and when he is unmasked, the camera can’t quite be bothered to show us his pointless old face (unlike the unhelmeting of Darth Vader in Return of the Jedi, which did at least show us what the great villain looked like). The only thing that’s scary is the thought of how long this has all been going on. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. apesar de alguns erros e pouco tempo de tela do Michael Myers, eu realmente amei a reconstrução da narrativa e a progressão do novo "protagonista". O filme fecha uma saga com primor e se por um milagre o Corey voltar, a franquia continua tendo um potencial absurdo para se reinventar ainda mais.… Expand

I liked the 2018 one, didn’t’t like Kills and for about 75% of this I liked. There was a pretty cool story and where it was leading to that I somehow enjoyed. But overall not bad, had a decent time with it

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’m writing this with the assumption that this is the final installment in the franchise. My main gripe about this movie is the fact that almost none of the killing is performed by Michael himself, but instead some mundane nobody protege named Corey Culligan. He chance encounters Michael in the sewer, and falls under some form of mind control. it’s implied Michael is vicariously killing through Corey, which is fine, have them go on a killing spree together, but instead boring and insipid Corey shoulders the weight of the load while Michael mostly twiddles his thumbs in a dainty sewer. We came to see Michael, not Corey, Michael!! You’ll only witness him kill three people, and the methods utilized in these kills seems so uninspired. My second gripe is the lack of creativity in the kills. It seems like they’re intentionally shying away from a more gruesome take on the deaths, likely to pander to a wider audience, but that’s disappointing when you consider it’s a show about a super charged serial killer. There were maybe two interesting kills in the entire movie. This is a horror movie. Go crazy with it. My third and final gripe is the awful story and the unsatisfying finale, which was handled quite lazily. They essentially relegated Michael to just a man, and then tried to insinuate his mask imbued him with his power. They then manage to incapacitate him with a simple throat slash, long enough to where they can haul him to a wood chipper with the entire town in tow. This doesn’t make sense when you take into account the considerable amount of punishment Michael has endured in previous movies, with or without the mask. Don’t even get me started on the beginning either. It’s nearly an hour or so before you’ll witness your first intentional murder, and the duration before is a corny romantic cringe fest I didn’t want to see in a movie about Michael Myers. The dialogue is pitiful, the characters are unlikable, and again, this has no place in a movie about Michael Myers, at least not as a focal point of the plot.

I understand this is John Carpenter and Jaime Lee Curtis’ creation, but in my opinion their creation is taking a nose dive down a steep cliff. I’m very dissatisfied with what I watched. Thank you… Expand

When i think that nothing could've been worse than Hellraiser the reboot, comes Halloween Ends, the conclusion of the reboot trilogy or whatever they called it, and all i can say that what a piece of garbage, what a skunk this movie was, this is not a Halloween Michael Myers movie, this isWhen i think that nothing could've been worse than Hellraiser the reboot, comes Halloween Ends, the conclusion of the reboot trilogy or whatever they called it, and all i can say that what a piece of garbage, what a skunk this movie was, this is not a Halloween Michael Myers movie, this is somebody elses movie, 90% of this film fills with possibly the worst on-screen romance couples that i've ever seen in movie, Allyson and Corey relationship is the weirdest, strangest, and stupidest romance couple i've ever seen, it did not work for 1 goddamn second when they are together for me, now i don't care if they make it intentionally to make people pissed off, if that's the case then congratulation you guys did it but that doesn't make me change my goddamn mind that this movie is **** it's **** it pissed me the **** out, all the narration things that Laurie's done was just sound silly, the deaths are not even effect me anymore because of what the **** is happening during the whole ****ing movie, this is an awful stupid romance film with some serial killers in it, where the woman of the couples is a dumb mother****er and the boy is an ugly psychopathic maniac, it doesn't make any sense, Halloween Ends was an insult, it supposed to be a satisfying epic bloody conclusion with of course Michael Myers as the lead of the film and that's not even the ****ing case, i won't spoiled it but you will know when you watch it and you will have the same ****ing question on who's movie is this, and it just became the worst thing that ever came out this year, i'll give my another point just for the last battle between Laurie and Michael Myers, even that super final conclusion of the battle is predictable, Halloween Ends is painful to watch, the other good thing is that i'm watching this movie free at home not paying it to see in the theaters because if that's the case i want my money back absolutely, it's horrible, it's awful, i will forever pretend that this movie never exist, Halloween Ends is just simply the worst movie of the year so far and possibly until the end of the year.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Far and away the worst Halloween film yet and quite possibly the stupidest, most disappointing, and worst written piece of crap ever to grace the silver screen.

The lazy hack writing and downright contempt for the history of the franchise and it's audience pervades every second of this bloated mess of a film.

Sold as the final showdown between two horror icons, Michael and Laurie, the film instead almost entirely focuses on the newly introdced Corey - truely one of the least likeable or interesting characters in film history. It's like a Halloween film spliced with the worst ever episode of Dawson's Creek.

The writers seem entirely incapable of writing any sort of believable dialogue between characters. Just schlocky, lazy tropes. Every scene with the four bullies and the tarty nurse illicted howls of laughter from the audience with whom I watched this tired wet fart of a film.

Michael is a tired, old bufoon easily physically tapped out by Corey (God, I jut vurped thinking about him), Laurie is a dotty Granny seemingly not at all affected by her forty year trauma, the D.J. is just a walking cliche of black maleness and every single character is a lazy and tired collection of horror movie cliches and crap dialogue. I honestly can't imagine that the script took longer than two hours to write. They must have given Curtis millions to add her name to this.

Please cancel the upcoming Exorcist trilogy because if they would do Michael this dirty then Regan, you in danger girl.… 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!
