I understand why it's pissing some people of, I also like when movie takes it time. But let's be serious here, we cannot expect real life progressions of things in what at the end is a slasher movie. If someone needs real life logic and progressions then there is The Wire :)
I think the final fight with Laurie and Micheal should have been Michael reclaiming his mask from Corey and stalking Laurie longer, leading to a climatic final battle.
They deleted the original scene from the trailer… it’s a scene you see Michael bending over and picks up the mask and stand and looks at Laurie like in the first one but it was removed
It should've been laurie+the entire town vs Michael. A 1v1 fight is horrible as there shouldn't be multiple moments where she just escapes michaels grab. They made Michael pathetic.
I guess you never fell in love as a teenager. It happens SOOOOO easily and it made sense. They're both damaged people who's paths crossed because of Laurie. Plus this whole trope of love at first sight has been in millions of movies since the invention of the silver screen and yet it's unbelievable in this particular movie? Seriously dude!? I mean...really!? There's lots of reasons to be upset with this movie but this isn't one of them.
I don’t know why they thought the scene of Michael and Corey wrestling was a good idea. Michael looked so so bad in that scene. His aura was completely gone.
@@dylanalbuquerque4854 well when your in your 60's, probably not eating right, has several horrible injuries that haven't been treated, not showering, probably has like 3 diseases. you get weak in the arms.
@@glitchedshinobi9452 Then that should’ve been the case in the 2018 one too but he moved fine in that one. It’s a cop out by the screenwriters and way too much focus on that Cory kid
how about in the sewer when Corey wanted Michael to kill the cop and yelled at Michael and Michael looked so pathetic . he looked like my dog when he's in trouble. like Mike said it seemed like Michael was Corey's dog or something, at least Busta Rhymes wasnt some puny little dork punking Michael.
The part where Corey crawls into the sewer and gets Michael’s mask was so funny to me, I wish it wouldn’t have happened because Michael would have never let that happen in any of the other movies but I couldn’t help but laugh when all you could see through the tunnel was then going in and out of frame pushing each other. And I about died after the doctor and nurse death when it cuts to Corey and Allison on the bike, for a split second I thought it was going to be Michael on the back 😂
The chemistry between Allyson and Corey was so bad that early on I thought Allyson and Laurie was purposely bewitching him towards his death because they sensed his evil. Then I thought that the chemistry was so bad that they were pulling a "Fight Club" where Corey was never really interacting with Laurie and Allyson, but just fantasizing about it. Part of me wanted to think that Corey was never interacting with Michael as well and it was all metaphor about becoming evil. Imagine if all the scenes with Michael didn't happen because he's a ghost in someone's memory. In the end, they hurt Allyson's character the most with this entry. I yelled at every decision she made. Like dating that cop and Corey.
I felt that Michael had a "grandpa vibe" to him most of the movie. Like when Corey and him are in the pool scene stabbing the nurse I felt like Michael was saying "This is how you do it you little shit." I get it Michael is older and got tore up from Halloween kills but I felt like they intentionally meant to give him the back-seat in his own ending movie. It was nostalgic but disappointing because he is the bogeyman afterall.
I have a theory that Jeremy was trying to kill Corey at the beginning of the movie. It just backfired on him. He shared a lot of qualities that Michael had before he killed his sister (according to the 1979 novel of Halloween 1978). Wetting the bed, nightmares and hearing voices etc. there was also his sudden change in demeanor towards Corey. Being nice one minute and then saying he was pretending to be nice to his “ugly assed babysitter”.
Funniest scene is Jeremy flying off the top staircase 😂 The door hitting him and the noise he makes. Also the generic falling scream. Ahhhhh 😂 I was waiting for Leslie Nelson to walk in with his parents.
One thing that I don't see people talking about a lot is that it barely takes place on Halloween. Both '78 and 2018 Halloween movies had good pacing and brought in Halloween night fairly quickly, but I feel like it just wastes a bunch of time in the first 3/4 of the movie and rushes the rest of it.
Mike, the Cory - Michael fight was hilarious and sad. Low point of the movie. Reminded me of Will Ferrell and John C Riley fighting on the front lawn in Step Brothers.😂😂😂
The best scene in Ends for me was when Corey was in his scarecrow mask and was anticipating or watching as Michael was about to emerge behind the doctor's assistant... the camera stays on him watching through the glass door.. suddenly not wanting to get in with urgency, she screams, and it cuts back and Michael emerges behind her and looks as intimidating as ever... he looks big in that shot... and then he obviously kills the girl, the music is also really good during that scene...
I’m gonna praise Rob Zombie’s H2 for a quick sec. I liked how it showed Michael living after the first movie as a hobo. You can see he’s beaten but he’s still strong. Was Michael just standing in the sewers in Ends? HUH? What was he doing? Was he feeding Pizza to his Turtle Children?!
The script felt like it was put together by AI. You have the cringey Twilight love scenes, Michael as a ninja turtle, and the tag teaming murder spree… At one point Corey asked Michael “show me how to do it.” Someone should stitch that scene with Arya Stark saying “stick’em with the pointy end.” The only decent thing about this movie is that it’s a meme generator.
Agree with that. Even though I left the theatre dissapointed - I liked the overall direction they were going. But a lot of it didn't make sense to me or it was poorly executed. This feels like a more character driven concept than Kills but the "character development" feels weird and inconsistent. Laurie and Allyson moving on after 4 years even though Laurie was dealing with trauma for 40? And Michael was locked up since 1978, now he's out for 4 years and they decided to be happy? That just feels unrealistic und unbelievable. Also inconsistent to the first 2 movies. Allyson falls in love with a guy after 2 days and... so on and so on. So I think I will appreciate the movie more over time but I get upset about people telling me that I "didn't get what they were trying to do". I get it, peepz. But in my opinion - it didn't work.
That fight between Corey and Michael wouldn't bother me as much if took place a year after kills but its been 4 years Michael had time to heal at least a little bit from the wounds of kills
@@btnhstillfire because how they explain it in the beginning the more he kills the more he transforms that first kill with the deputy recharged him a little and I believe he's in his late 60s
@@ivictorrattlehead You could interpret "the more he kills, the more he transcends," as being commentary on Michael's legacy. Like, the more people he affects(and infects) the more he transcends into a mythological and legendary figure in the collective conscience of Haddonfield. The legacy of his evil effectively becomes more powerful and enduring than the man himself. I think this movie was trying to demystify Michael as the personification of evil, hence some of the lines referring to him as "just a man in a Halloween mask," and Laurie saying she used to think he was the boogeyman, before killing him.
@@HarryPairatestes363 true but even she said in kills she always thought he was flesh and blood like you and me its like they forgot that line in this movie
It would have been cool to see Micheal s mask is connected to Silver shamrock and it's possesed . That's why Micheal always needs the mask it calls to him. .
Right? they played up that storyline so hard and completely abandoned it. Halloween Ends felt like it wasn't even a sequel to the universe of Halloween 2018 or Halloween Kills at ALL and that is not the only thing they just completely abandoned from the other two films.
If Halloween 2018 and Kills was about building up Michael's legend, then Ends demonstrates that he, like many people we call evil, is only a man and he can be overcome.
Completely agree Mike. Just a longer end fight scene, more brutal. More Michael kills, maybe flashbacks of him killing in the sewers or entering the sewers for the first time etc. Would have made a difference.
Re: Laurie letting Michael kill her i think it’s two-fold. A) she’s lost Karen and now Allyson (she thinks). She slit Michael’s throat and knows he’s going to die, but now she has nothing to live for. B) throughly H18 and Kills she says over and over that maybe the only way for him to die is if she dies with him. For me her actions make sense. And I think that’s why Allyson says what she says, that she’s not letting that happen to her grandmother. And why Laurie gets that spark back once she sees Allyson again.
I don’t like to think the mask is powerful. In 78 it just seemed unimportant. Just a mask he bought from a store. Plus he first killed with the clown mask on
Which was quite hysterical considering that Michael lifted the nurse up on the wall with one hand and pins her to it... so clearly his strength had returned. But then Corey still manages to whoop his ass in the sewer right after this as if he's weak again. Remember, Corey couldn't even defend himself against high-school kids half his size. Band nerds at that. But somehow he's going to manhandle Michael Fing Myers. Yeah, give me a break. Such a stupid movie.
Halloween 2018 and Halloween kills was based on the same night... So Michael gets shot, gets his fingers blowed off, it's beaten by mob, gets stabbed, nobody can kill him but in this new movie lori overpowered him like nothing basically. This movie feels like a horror movie that's been written and they just decided to throw Michael Myers in the mix and change the character's names to the Halloween franchise. May have not been a bad movie if it wasn't a Halloween movie but for me this is the one of the worst Halloweens. Don't get me started on the Michael Myers and Corey (Batman and Robin sidekick kind of thing).
One of the problems I had with the movie was the inconsistency with Michael's strength. He straight arm/one arm lifted the nurse off the ground, then gets overpowered in the tunnel in the wrestling match. If he's pulling off a lift like that he's got to be able to overpower a teenager.
I wonder if you could recut Ends to be extend on to Kills. Like you could cut a lot of the stupid stuff out and even recut Cory's killings and make it michael. Thinking of all the possibilities of recutting scenes from Ends and even putting them in 2018 so Cory can be an over arching character. It would require a lot of patience and proper storytelling
I'd argue that Michael allowed Corey to take his mask. Usually he freaks out anytime someone touches it but this time he just laid there and slowly sat up. Michael was at Laurie's earlier watching her and could have went after her but didn't . He's weak and knows Corey can slow some of these people down for him.
I was hoping it would be a Corey unmasking at the end. Something like Scream. You think it’s Michael the whole time, then Corey explains everything through longer scenes of flashback storytelling. It would have atleast made Michael seem more in the story, and then he comes in and kills him, sorta idea. Or maybe I just have been anticipating Scream 6 and I’m projecting.
I'm glad you brought up the marketing because I hated the marketing for this. It annoyed me how it was like "the final showdown between two iconic characters" like it's Freddy Vs Jason or something and then they just didn't deliver which made me dislike it more
What got me mad the most was the writing. They built up this Corey as if he was the successor to Michael as if Michael went inside of Corey due to him being old and missing every limb. I thought Corey was going to be a younger full Myers again so they can continue for future movies if other directors wanted to take this forward. Corey's Myers did look and gave me Dick Warlock Halloween 2 vibes.
Yeah, all that just for him to die so easily and unceremoniously after spending the majority of the movie focused on him. Just for the OG Myers to reappear and we can return to our regularly scheduled program.
Corey getting killed off that way really did leave me with what was the point of the first 90 mins or whatever. I didn't agree with following this character in the 3rd and so called final movie but don't half measure this s@@@ which they did.
They should've included a training montage where Michael teaches Corey to lift weights, bust coconuts with his bare hands, and stab dummies with the Eye of the Tiger playing in the background.
I watched the movie for my birthday and a big group of 18 of us watched it. They all seemed to like it but I really did not care for it. I think it’s because they are not die hard Halloween fans the way I am. It was a great let down 😢
Mike. I agree man. That fight at the end was weak. I was expecting like a Obi Wan vs Anakin battle at the end with Duel of the fates playing in the background. Then they both fall into meat grinder together now are forever infused like 2 lbs of 80/20 hamburg
*The worst thing about Halloween Ends is that they didn’t give Nick Castle the correct cameo!! Am I the only one who thinks DGG n Co. wasted a golden opportunity w NC’s appearance in Ends when they gave him that lil cameo at the party instead of the homeless guy who literally says “Go get me that mask, I’M MICHAEL MYERS!!” These guys never miss a chance to capitalize on call backs/Easter eggs but somehow that don’t jump at that?? Imo that would have been such a great way to show NC some love at the same time as being meta af n giving us die hards a nice chuckle at the same time.. big missed opportunity man*
@ shadowbreed so Cory tilting his head after his 4-5 words of meaningless dialogue is paying more homage to him donning the mask n playing the shape in ‘78 than would have been paid if he had played the homeless man n actually spoke the words “Go get me that mask, I’m Michael Myers”? Na they def missed the boat on that one but I commend you for ur attempt my friend ✌🏼
The fight between Michael and Laurie reminded me of the first fight between Bane and Batman in TDKR. It wasn’t as satisfying knowing there was a 4 year gap and not in their prime…
I just looked at the final fight scene as Laurie not being able to escape Michael's grip on her throat. So she was just trying to accept her fate until her daughter came in for the save.
I think your analysis is spot-on! And for me, those ten things you just listed definitely outweighed the things I liked about the movie. But, I think it’s awesome you were able to both like the movie yet still be so direct about the things you didn’t like. And I just wanted to point out something out real quick that actually corroborates a few of your points: I think the reason why Allyson had this 50-something year old ex-boyfriend is because he was “Officer Mulaney”, which means he either (a) is one of the kids from that 1978 flashback sequence in Halloween Kills, or (b) is one of their descendants. And I think this perfectly illustrates my frustration with this movie. It just seems like we got all these breadcrumbs in the first two movies that were building to something. And when we got to the final movie they were either (a) completely abandoned, or (b) appeared to be put together in such a way that they appeared to not actually be the original plan. It was as if they were put together retroactively in order to provide closure, but what we got never seemed to feel like the original plan. And what ultimately resulted just created more questions than answers.
I'm right there with you on your points. Building blocks from the previous movies weren't taken advantage of and it just doesn't feel like a Halloween movie.
Ok I completely understand your point on how Laurie was just giving up when Micheal severs his own fuckin hand to snatch Laurie up lol but the way I feel like best makes sense to me is that she lost her daughter in Kills, and the fact that in kills she kept spreading this idea that she had to die in order for Micheal to die but not only that when Allyson walked in and thought she killed Corey in cold blood I feel like she didn't know Allyson would come back and thought she had lost her granddaughter in that moment also so she just gave into her thought that she needed to die so Micheal would finally die and end this cat and mouse game between them and to stop him from "killing again" (in Loomis voice from Halloween Kills. That's just how I felt made the most sense to me from that scene.
I’m with you on adding a few more Michael kills early and it still could’ve fit with the flow of the movie because of that one piece of dialogue when Corey had the altercation with the hobo. Right before the hobo pulls out the knife, he tells Corey that people who go down there never comeback up
The trailers did give a lot away. From the Cory copycat to the suicide attempt , they gave it away. There were a few scenes that I did not feel anything was at stake due to the trailers. But I did love the direction it went and loved all three times I have watched it.
5 things I liked: 1. The atmosphere. Felt like an 80s movie. 2. The intro/opening credits 3. Much less cringy dialogue and dumb jokes to ruin scenes. This one felt more serious. 4. This movie reminded me of Christine and a movie called sometimes they come back. 5. Michael beating up Laurie. 5 things I didn’t like: 1. The score. Felt like carpenter phoned this one in. 2. Michael looking like a hunchback 3. Michael getting beat up and mask taken 4. The long hair and chin hair on michael, looked like a 95 yr old man 5. Laurie surviving
In my head, Laurie has stated "Maybe the only way he can die, is if I die." To Laurie she maybe thought Michael choking her out would be the way for them both to go. I don't know. Just my head canon.
Except that immediately after she says, "do it" Allyson shows up and breaks Michael's arm and Laurie slices his wrists saying, "I thought you were the boogeyman, but you're just a man" or something like that. Just more continuity errors.
Pay close attention to the scene after Corey kills dr Mathis he takes his hand wrap off and starts movin his hand as if he’s Transcending and healing like Michael does
The reason Michael Myers kept a low profile and was presented as week and feeble was because they were trying to make viewers lose their fascination with the character and perhaps lose interest so it would be easier to say goodbye to his character in the end. It worked for me. You're right, the storytelling was hurried and felt inadequate. Oh well, it doesn't matter anymore, because Halloween ended, and they made their millions and we're left thinking WTF happened? But it was a good watch. One time watch for me.
I thought that Corey & Myers teaming up to kill was so ridiculous that at some point after one of their kills together I thought they might high-five each other , or play a round of rock , paper , scissors !
I feel like the only reason Laurie was just going to let Michael kill her was because she believed that Allison was truly done with her. Allison thought Laurie killed Corey. So Laurie kinda had nothing left to live for and you just kinda can’t come back from murdering your granddaughter’s boyfriend just because you “think” he’s evil.
Wished Corey was established in the other two films to be better realized. I like the idea of evil changing shape but it was half-baked. But gave the film a 6/10 for what it's worth.
I believe that Michael was able to invade and transfer his evil into Corey on account of a few reasons even though they as you put it "didn't explain" it very well. Lol So due to how many years have passed and to the extent of how weak and dying they made Michael seem, I think it could have been somehow discovered or unlocked because Michael was on the verge of dying and possibly knew he needed help killing more people to regain strength? Or how Corey over those three years just went through all of the aftermath from accidentally killing Jeremy but was being made to feel like it wasn't by an entire town. So therefore allowing the same darkness Michael had to build up overtime inside of him as well. Then when it came down to actually meeting Michael in the sewer, I don't think even Michael was aware that he could even do that to Corey until they locked eyes. Seeing the same darkness Michael's had consuming him. However, I enjoyed this movie to the same extent that you noted in this review. I almost agree with every portion of this movie that you disliked also. But I do want to say the junkyard scene where Corey( with the Michael Myers mask) killing those high school kids could have done a lot better. All those two girls had to do was move next to other cars when he was chasing them with a truck opposed to climbing a barbed wired fence. Especially when the girl wrapped in the fence essentially was the reason the other kids were killed by just sitting there and basically baiting them all. The torch to the jock's face was pretty awesome though.
Kyle Richards should have been a bigger character! The Lindsey Wallace character was one of the original survivors of Halloween 1978. This trilogy spent so much time showing Laurie Strode's trauma but never did for Lindsey Wallace
When corey says " i just killed somone" its clearly supposed to make the audience think hes adnitting to killing the homeless guy , the next shot shows them in the house of the kid from the start that died . It almost give the viewer hope that he feels some kind of remorse for killing the homeless guy and is admitting to it taking him off the dark path hes on when in fact hes not .... the " youre just a man in a halloween mask " quote is as hes wrestling michael and overpowering him , hes probably been told every urban legend of the guy for years and is insinuating hes nothing more than a man and not what these stories have made him out to be . I dont see how either of these two instances of dialogue are unnecessary
When Corey said to Allyson that he killed someone he was referring to Jeremy. Also, I think the fight scene was great, short, brutal and vicious. It actually felt like a final fight. It was very well choreographed and Jamie Lee Curtis, a 63 y/o woman did most of her stunt work (that's impressive, I'm so proud of her) it was far better than the fight in H20 were she ran away most of the time and Michael just damaged her once (also that scene in H20 when Laurie kicked Michael in the balls he looked very goofy) I think Laurie wanted revenge, but also, when she said "DO IT" was because she knowed at that moment that she had nothing else to lose. Michael chocked her hard (the make up in JLC's neck proves it) Anyways, Michael was actually dominating the whole thing during his fight with Laurie until she tried to take off his mask, she took advantage of that and then she killed him. The fight was epic, I loved it. Corey was somehow alike '78 Michael after their first encounter. He changed, that's pretty obvious. Corey was 24 during the events of ENDS and Michael was 21 in 1978. Corey even survived in one of the alternate endings were Allyson shots him and then he falls through the window (similar to the ending of Halloween 1978) just for next to disappeared into the darkness of the night) Michael is part supernatural and part human (John Carpenter said that) He was weak, yes, but still strong enough to lift nurse Deb up with one hand and then killed her, also after all the damage that he got in 'Halloween Kills' and four years living like that and without the Smith's Grove sanatorium cares, he was still ALIVE, he's more than a human just because of that. I also think that Corey just stealed Michael's mask just because he doesn't wanted him dead at that point (that's actually the only scene that I don't like from the movie) ENDS gave Laurie Strode the ENDING she DESERVED as the ultimate final girl that she is. I love Laurie so much, she means a lot to me. I'm happy that they respected her unlike 'Halloween Resurrection ' I LOVE 'Halloween Ends' a lot, Jamie Lee's performance blows me away everytime and Rohan Campbell did such a great job playing Corey (such a good actor) and I love Andi Matichak as well. The whole procession scene is very powerful and emotional. Seeing all the people who lost their beloved ones because of Michael Myers (like Sondra and Julian for example) and then Laurie destroying Michael once and for all in front of everyone was very powerful and then the final scene with Laurie and Hawkins at the November 1st morning giving them a hopeful ending is beautiful. ❤ I completely understand why some fans doesn't liked the movie, and I absolutely respect that, but, I loved it. I love the beautiful Cinematography, the AWESOME score soundtrack by John Carpenter, the great autumn atmosphere, the dark vibe of the movie, Michael's mask, the callbacks, the opening scene, Junk Yard scene, Willie the Kid's death and I absolutely LOVED Corey Cunningham, even if some fans hate him, they can't deny Rohan's great acting skills, and in my opinion, he has an actual development unlike various characters from the franchise. I hope time gives it its deserved good place, but I think ENDS will always be a divisive movie, and that's OK, I respect people who doesn't like it and I'm happy because every day I know more and more people who love Halloween Ends. Fun fact: Michael had more screentime in ENDS than in the OG from 1978. Sorry if my english is not that good, I speak Spanish. Greetings from Mexico, Mike!
I think Laurie knew that it was gonna be easy to kill Corey because Michael was way stronger and she knew Corey was still human so he wouldn't be much of a challenge and she just wanted to mess with him I think lol
I think they had pressure from somewhere (studio?) to leave it ambiguous so the series can continue. Hence why we got the theme that evil just changes shape. Now they can continue it with a different killer. I wouldn’t be opposed to Corey still being alive and continuing on his spree. If there’s a dollar to be made, you know they’re gonna do it
When Michael grabbed Corey and look into his eyes was so odd, it reminded me of that show Charmed where one of the witches can touch people and get a premonition. So Michael can see people's past now? Make it make sense.
Corey should have been scraped to a separate movie or have been there in the other 2. Cuz it turned to Michael being Corey's plus one in a Michael Myers movie.
Mike THE worst thing about ENDS just might be how craptacular humans can be to other humans over something like a movie… good ol humanity… Michael isn’t pure EVIL… maybe we are
Honestly, if they really didn’t want to use Michael but his presence. Why not make him live in the Sewer, eating people to survive. Then once Cory get the transfer of evil, he should’ve slowly died. So the transformation of Corey can be seen as Michael coming out of Corey as a elm street 2 kinda thing. That way you can have a young/ strong Michael “Corey” go up against Laurie. Corey has reason to go after Laurie because he is the boyfriend, while Michael is inside his soul as the pure evil, exaggerating Corey’s abilities and strength. To me that sounds more cerebral and tightly written
Yeah they did Michael dirty in Halloween ends *Spoilers* When Michael was beaten by Cory and when Michael was killed my wife started crying because she hated what Halloween ends did to Michael
Also, what's with the radio tower that was shown time and time again in Kills and this movie? What's the significance? Another thing that wasn't explained that needed an explanation.
As of today, October 19, 2022, Michael Myers is still alive! This movie takes place the last few days of October and October 31st, 2022, therefore this has not happened yet! Michael is going to die this Halloween, so for a brief period of time this movie takes place in the near future. If someone were to watch this movie on Halloween night this year, they will be watching it “live” in a way.
You was only able to come up with 10 things? LOL. I absolutely appreciate you and this channel. I am so disappointed in this movie! You want to try something different, do it in Kills not Ends! This movie to me was absolute garbage. Great video and thank you guys for all your hard work!!! 🎃
There's no need to find 10 points to say Halloween Ends is a disappointment The only point which makes it a big flop is : Michael Myers was just a side-character 👎

I think the final fight with Laurie and Micheal should have been Michael reclaiming his mask from Corey and stalking Laurie longer, leading to a climatic final battle.
@Paraone Ngatai Yes!
They deleted the original scene from the trailer… it’s a scene you see Michael bending over and picks up the mask and stand and looks at Laurie like in the first one but it was removed
They cut alot dude. Go watch the nbc trailer and the final trailer. Alot of missing shots.
Yeah like the scenes they left out from the trailers like when he sits up in the background just like Halloween 1978
It should've been laurie+the entire town vs Michael. A 1v1 fight is horrible as there shouldn't be multiple moments where she just escapes michaels grab. They made Michael pathetic.
Not to mention, how does Allison develop love at first sight with Corey? Completely unbelievable and forced plot twist.

“4 different movies”… what a coincidence, there were 4 different writers working on this project.
They built up Hawkins and then ended his arc with cherry blossoms 🌸 after having nothing to do with killing Michael.
Right.... among other threads completely dropped from the final act of the "trilogy."
The part where Corey crawls into the sewer and gets Michael’s mask was so funny to me, I wish it wouldn’t have happened because Michael would have never let that happen in any of the other movies but I couldn’t help but laugh when all you could see through the tunnel was then going in and out of frame pushing each other. And I about died after the doctor and nurse death when it cuts to Corey and Allison on the bike, for a split second I thought it was going to be Michael on the back 😂

Your comment about it feeling like four different movies is absolutely spot on. I thought that too.

The chemistry between Allyson and Corey was so bad that early on I thought Allyson and Laurie was purposely bewitching him towards his death because they sensed his evil. Then I thought that the chemistry was so bad that they were pulling a "Fight Club" where Corey was never really interacting with Laurie and Allyson, but just fantasizing about it. Part of me wanted to think that Corey was never interacting with Michael as well and it was all metaphor about becoming evil. Imagine if all the scenes with Michael didn't happen because he's a ghost in someone's memory. In the end, they hurt Allyson's character the most with this entry. I yelled at every decision she made. Like dating that cop and Corey.

Now, here's the 10 Things I LOVED About HALLOWEEN ENDS - ruclips.net/video/UG847GO9Dfs/видео.html ALSO we're live tonight at 8PM EST!
I felt that Michael had a "grandpa vibe" to him most of the movie. Like when Corey and him are in the pool scene stabbing the nurse I felt like Michael was saying "This is how you do it you little shit."
I get it Michael is older and got tore up from Halloween kills but I felt like they intentionally meant to give him the back-seat in his own ending movie. It was nostalgic but disappointing because he is the bogeyman afterall.
Michael: *Okay you're not doing it right, this is how you do it you little shit!!!*
Totally agree about the Michael/Laurie fight. Their fight in Halloween 2018 was much better and just had a more “epic” feel to it.
I have a theory that Jeremy was trying to kill Corey at the beginning of the movie. It just backfired on him. He shared a lot of qualities that Michael had before he killed his sister (according to the 1979 novel of Halloween 1978). Wetting the bed, nightmares and hearing voices etc. there was also his sudden change in demeanor towards Corey. Being nice one minute and then saying he was pretending to be nice to his “ugly assed babysitter”.
Smart thoughts
Idk but the soundtrack was amazing, loved the old school music
Me too!
They had some classic songs on there
Yesss I've still been listening to it 😂
Yes the soundtrack again is good ❤
The Burn it Down Rework by Boy Harsher was fire
Funniest scene is Jeremy flying off the top staircase 😂 The door hitting him and the noise he makes. Also the generic falling scream. Ahhhhh 😂 I was waiting for Leslie Nelson to walk in with his parents.
One thing that I don't see people talking about a lot is that it barely takes place on Halloween. Both '78 and 2018 Halloween movies had good pacing and brought in Halloween night fairly quickly, but I feel like it just wastes a bunch of time in the first 3/4 of the movie and rushes the rest of it.
How bout when Corey’s dad said “I hope you find love?” I died laughing
nah that was kinda sad and sweet
Mike, the Cory - Michael fight was hilarious and sad. Low point of the movie. Reminded me of Will Ferrell and John C Riley fighting on the front lawn in Step Brothers.😂😂😂
The best scene in Ends for me was when Corey was in his scarecrow mask and was anticipating or watching as Michael was about to emerge behind the doctor's assistant... the camera stays on him watching through the glass door.. suddenly not wanting to get in with urgency, she screams, and it cuts back and Michael emerges behind her and looks as intimidating as ever... he looks big in that shot... and then he obviously kills the girl, the music is also really good during that scene...
that scene is so cool
When Corey's step dad got shot, how did he teleport 😂 we see both sides of the screen past his head but he just disappears
I’m gonna praise Rob Zombie’s H2 for a quick sec. I liked how it showed Michael living after the first movie as a hobo. You can see he’s beaten but he’s still strong. Was Michael just standing in the sewers in Ends? HUH? What was he doing? Was he feeding Pizza to his Turtle Children?!
I thi k he was the real Micheal
He was waiting for Pennywise. " We all Float down here "
He was feeding on Rats 🐀 lol 😂
Is anyone going to talk about how huge James Jude Courtney looked when he stabbed that woman to the wall with the knife!
The script felt like it was put together by AI. You have the cringey Twilight love scenes, Michael as a ninja turtle, and the tag teaming murder spree… At one point Corey asked Michael “show me how to do it.” Someone should stitch that scene with Arya Stark saying “stick’em with the pointy end.”
The only decent thing about this movie is that it’s a meme generator.
“You can’t lead a horseto water if you don’t have a fucking house!”
I’m stealing that lmao
The funniest scene is laurie talking to alysson about cory i think and she says something about 'tits' i burst out laughing it was so awkward
Show grief your tits 🤣🤣 the abrupt awkwardness perfectly compares to H18’s “i got peanut butter on my penis” moment lmao
You guys need to do a parody sketch of Corey wrestling and taking Michael's mask in the sewer!🤣🤣🤣 Gotdamn you, Michael!!!
Already planning it!
@@WeWatchedAMovie As I watched that scene in theaters, I thought" Oh man, this looks like a Mike and Jay video!🤣"
“But mom said I could wear the mask this year dammit!”
@@Hardy1298 Like a Stepbrothers setup for the skit
Jay isn’t on these videos because he’s getting his “Cory Haircut” and working on his emo-nerd impression for upcoming parodies.
Agree with that. Even though I left the theatre dissapointed - I liked the overall direction they were going. But a lot of it didn't make sense to me or it was poorly executed. This feels like a more character driven concept than Kills but the "character development" feels weird and inconsistent. Laurie and Allyson moving on after 4 years even though Laurie was dealing with trauma for 40? And Michael was locked up since 1978, now he's out for 4 years and they decided to be happy? That just feels unrealistic und unbelievable. Also inconsistent to the first 2 movies. Allyson falls in love with a guy after 2 days and... so on and so on.
So I think I will appreciate the movie more over time but I get upset about people telling me that I "didn't get what they were trying to do". I get it, peepz. But in my opinion - it didn't work.
The transition into the intro was smooth in my opinion 😂
Thank ye!
“You can’t lead a horse to water if there isn’t a fucking horse” 😂😂
That fight between Corey and Michael wouldn't bother me as much if took place a year after kills but its been 4 years Michael had time to heal at least a little bit from the wounds of kills
Michael is old as fuck. How would he recover?? This made more sense than the last 2 for sure…
Hes like 75 now, man…This is the only way they were having him die.
@@btnhstillfire because how they explain it in the beginning the more he kills the more he transforms that first kill with the deputy recharged him a little and I believe he's in his late 60s
@@ivictorrattlehead You could interpret "the more he kills, the more he transcends," as being commentary on Michael's legacy. Like, the more people he affects(and infects) the more he transcends into a mythological and legendary figure in the collective conscience of Haddonfield. The legacy of his evil effectively becomes more powerful and enduring than the man himself. I think this movie was trying to demystify Michael as the personification of evil, hence some of the lines referring to him as "just a man in a Halloween mask," and Laurie saying she used to think he was the boogeyman, before killing him.
@@HarryPairatestes363 true but even she said in kills she always thought he was flesh and blood like you and me its like they forgot that line in this movie
I told my wife that laurie pulled a Batman on Corey when he was talking to her 😂😂
"You can't lead a horse to water if you don't have a fucking horse!" - Mike Holtz, 2022
It would have been cool to see Micheal s mask is connected to Silver shamrock and it's possesed . That's why Micheal always needs the mask it calls to him. .
That's a better story line then this whole movie
I realized a day after I watched Halloween Ends that they didn’t even address what was up with Michael’s window in Halloween Kills.
Right? they played up that storyline so hard and completely abandoned it. Halloween Ends felt like it wasn't even a sequel to the universe of Halloween 2018 or Halloween Kills at ALL and that is not the only thing they just completely abandoned from the other two films.
Facts
Michael and Corey looking into each other eyes
Corey: Dad?
Michael: ‐-------------------------- breaks Corey's neck
I like the part where Micheal starts shaking as he keeps stabbing the guy
If Halloween 2018 and Kills was about building up Michael's legend, then Ends demonstrates that he, like many people we call evil, is only a man and he can be overcome.
Completely agree Mike. Just a longer end fight scene, more brutal. More Michael kills, maybe flashbacks of him killing in the sewers or entering the sewers for the first time etc. Would have made a difference.
Re: Laurie letting Michael kill her i think it’s two-fold. A) she’s lost Karen and now Allyson (she thinks). She slit Michael’s throat and knows he’s going to die, but now she has nothing to live for. B) throughly H18 and Kills she says over and over that maybe the only way for him to die is if she dies with him. For me her actions make sense. And I think that’s why Allyson says what she says, that she’s not letting that happen to her grandmother. And why Laurie gets that spark back once she sees Allyson again.
I think Corey wanted the mask as he failed to get to the nurse but Michael killed her easily. My thought is he thinks the mask will make him powerful
Great point!
I think it’s more of him wanting to carry the mantle of Michael Myers. We all know there can only be 1.
That's what they were seemingly setting up with the previous entries, the very beginning of 2018 and Karen taunting Michael in Kills.
I don’t like to think the mask is powerful. In 78 it just seemed unimportant. Just a mask he bought from a store. Plus he first killed with the clown mask on
Which was quite hysterical considering that Michael lifted the nurse up on the wall with one hand and pins her to it... so clearly his strength had returned. But then Corey still manages to whoop his ass in the sewer right after this as if he's weak again. Remember, Corey couldn't even defend himself against high-school kids half his size. Band nerds at that. But somehow he's going to manhandle Michael Fing Myers. Yeah, give me a break. Such a stupid movie.
I agree with Mike's positives and negatives about Halloween Ends. I had fun with it but also had aspects i flat out didn't like at all.
Halloween 2018 and Halloween kills was based on the same night... So Michael gets shot, gets his fingers blowed off, it's beaten by mob, gets stabbed, nobody can kill him but in this new movie lori overpowered him like nothing basically. This movie feels like a horror movie that's been written and they just decided to throw Michael Myers in the mix and change the character's names to the Halloween franchise. May have not been a bad movie if it wasn't a Halloween movie but for me this is the one of the worst Halloweens. Don't get me started on the Michael Myers and Corey (Batman and Robin sidekick kind of thing).
I COMPLETELY forgot about the "i just killed somebody" and awkward scene transition until you mentioned it LMAO
One of the problems I had with the movie was the inconsistency with Michael's strength. He straight arm/one arm lifted the nurse off the ground, then gets overpowered in the tunnel in the wrestling match. If he's pulling off a lift like that he's got to be able to overpower a teenager.
I wonder if you could recut Ends to be extend on to Kills. Like you could cut a lot of the stupid stuff out and even recut Cory's killings and make it michael. Thinking of all the possibilities of recutting scenes from Ends and even putting them in 2018 so Cory can be an over arching character. It would require a lot of patience and proper storytelling
What we now need is a Corey/Myers parody buddy cop style movie 😆
Brokeback Sewer....
I'd argue that Michael allowed Corey to take his mask. Usually he freaks out anytime someone touches it but this time he just laid there and slowly sat up. Michael was at Laurie's earlier watching her and could have went after her but didn't . He's weak and knows Corey can slow some of these people down for him.
I was hoping it would be a Corey unmasking at the end. Something like Scream. You think it’s Michael the whole time, then Corey explains everything through longer scenes of flashback storytelling. It would have atleast made Michael seem more in the story, and then he comes in and kills him, sorta idea.
Or maybe I just have been anticipating Scream 6 and I’m projecting.
I'm glad you brought up the marketing because I hated the marketing for this. It annoyed me how it was like "the final showdown between two iconic characters" like it's Freddy Vs Jason or something and then they just didn't deliver which made me dislike it more
Michael Myers deserves better 😢 they started out strong with 2018 then disappointing with ends
If micheal was on the back of Corey’s bike grabbing his waist while Something in the way plays this would’ve been my favorite Halloween movie lol
Completely agree. Guess it’s not that bad but honestly if I had the chance might erase this from the franchise.
I'm pretty sure Michael got around with the car that Doug left behind after he was killed in the cave.
What got me mad the most was the writing. They built up this Corey as if he was the successor to Michael as if Michael went inside of Corey due to him being old and missing every limb. I thought Corey was going to be a younger full Myers again so they can continue for future movies if other directors wanted to take this forward. Corey's Myers did look and gave me Dick Warlock Halloween 2 vibes.
Yeah, all that just for him to die so easily and unceremoniously after spending the majority of the movie focused on him. Just for the OG Myers to reappear and we can return to our regularly scheduled program.
@@TheJokesterSCR Exactly!! The movie focused all on him just to get his shit snapped up. This movie was a middle finger to everyone.
Corey getting killed off that way really did leave me with what was the point of the first 90 mins or whatever. I didn't agree with following this character in the 3rd and so called final movie but don't half measure this s@@@ which they did.
He did look good as Micheal
They should've included a training montage where Michael teaches Corey to lift weights, bust coconuts with his bare hands, and stab dummies with the Eye of the Tiger playing in the background.
The only positive thing about Halloween Ends will be all the memes and the parodies. 😄
I watched the movie for my birthday and a big group of 18 of us watched it. They all seemed to like it but I really did not care for it. I think it’s because they are not die hard Halloween fans the way I am. It was a great let down 😢
Hope you enjoy it more on rewatch!
these movies arent made for casual horror fans. They're made for fans of the franchise specifically. Nothing more nothing less
Im a diehard fan and I liked it. I like 4, 5 and 6 too while ppl mouth those. Imo this was homage to Halloween 4 which was pretty cool tbh.
@@btnhstillfire 6 is one of my faves. Check out the producers cut if you haven’t already!
100% OP
Corey should've befriended and nurse Michael back to health and use him to get revenge. Like in Evil of Frankenstein
Mike. I agree man. That fight at the end was weak. I was expecting like a Obi Wan vs Anakin battle at the end with Duel of the fates playing in the background. Then they both fall into meat grinder together now are forever infused like 2 lbs of 80/20 hamburg
*The worst thing about Halloween Ends is that they didn’t give Nick Castle the correct cameo!! Am I the only one who thinks DGG n Co. wasted a golden opportunity w NC’s appearance in Ends when they gave him that lil cameo at the party instead of the homeless guy who literally says “Go get me that mask, I’M MICHAEL MYERS!!” These guys never miss a chance to capitalize on call backs/Easter eggs but somehow that don’t jump at that?? Imo that would have been such a great way to show NC some love at the same time as being meta af n giving us die hards a nice chuckle at the same time.. big missed opportunity man*
I thought the same
You’re right. That would have been perfect
Maybe he was the real Micheal acting like a normal person ..
Nah he got the perfect cameo because Corey did the head tilt to pay homage to him.
@ shadowbreed so Cory tilting his head after his 4-5 words of meaningless dialogue is paying more homage to him donning the mask n playing the shape in ‘78 than would have been paid if he had played the homeless man n actually spoke the words “Go get me that mask, I’m Michael Myers”? Na they def missed the boat on that one but I commend you for ur attempt my friend ✌🏼
the Micheal and Laurie fight should have been like 5 to 10 minutes longer.
The fight between Michael and Laurie reminded me of the first fight between Bane and Batman in TDKR. It wasn’t as satisfying knowing there was a 4 year gap and not in their prime…
I just looked at the final fight scene as Laurie not being able to escape Michael's grip on her throat. So she was just trying to accept her fate until her daughter came in for the save.
I think your analysis is spot-on! And for me, those ten things you just listed definitely outweighed the things I liked about the movie. But, I think it’s awesome you were able to both like the movie yet still be so direct about the things you didn’t like. And I just wanted to point out something out real quick that actually corroborates a few of your points: I think the reason why Allyson had this 50-something year old ex-boyfriend is because he was “Officer Mulaney”, which means he either (a) is one of the kids from that 1978 flashback sequence in Halloween Kills, or (b) is one of their descendants. And I think this perfectly illustrates my frustration with this movie. It just seems like we got all these breadcrumbs in the first two movies that were building to something. And when we got to the final movie they were either (a) completely abandoned, or (b) appeared to be put together in such a way that they appeared to not actually be the original plan. It was as if they were put together retroactively in order to provide closure, but what we got never seemed to feel like the original plan. And what ultimately resulted just created more questions than answers.
I'm right there with you on your points. Building blocks from the previous movies weren't taken advantage of and it just doesn't feel like a Halloween movie.
Ok I completely understand your point on how Laurie was just giving up when Micheal severs his own fuckin hand to snatch Laurie up lol but the way I feel like best makes sense to me is that she lost her daughter in Kills, and the fact that in kills she kept spreading this idea that she had to die in order for Micheal to die but not only that when Allyson walked in and thought she killed Corey in cold blood I feel like she didn't know Allyson would come back and thought she had lost her granddaughter in that moment also so she just gave into her thought that she needed to die so Micheal would finally die and end this cat and mouse game between them and to stop him from "killing again" (in Loomis voice from Halloween Kills. That's just how I felt made the most sense to me from that scene.
I’m with you on adding a few more Michael kills early and it still could’ve fit with the flow of the movie because of that one piece of dialogue when Corey had the altercation with the hobo. Right before the hobo pulls out the knife, he tells Corey that people who go down there never comeback up
10/10 I don't care if it was 🗑️ or good I still love it. I also kind of Think that Michael wanted Corey to Carry on his Legacy since Michael Was Weak.
The trailers did give a lot away. From the Cory copycat to the suicide attempt , they gave it away. There were a few scenes that I did not feel anything was at stake due to the trailers. But I did love the direction it went and loved all three times I have watched it.
Corey parents were straight out of Christine Artie parents
5 things I liked:
1. The atmosphere. Felt like an 80s movie.
2. The intro/opening credits
3. Much less cringy dialogue and dumb jokes to ruin scenes. This one felt more serious.
4. This movie reminded me of Christine and a movie called sometimes they come back.
5. Michael beating up Laurie.
5 things I didn’t like:
1. The score. Felt like carpenter phoned this one in.
2. Michael looking like a hunchback
3. Michael getting beat up and mask taken
4. The long hair and chin hair on michael, looked like a 95 yr old man
5. Laurie surviving
In my head, Laurie has stated "Maybe the only way he can die, is if I die." To Laurie she maybe thought Michael choking her out would be the way for them both to go. I don't know. Just my head canon.
That's right she DID say that. Good catch!
possibly BUT they completely ignored everything from the last movie. im shocked they even mentioned Allyson's parents being dead.
Except that immediately after she says, "do it" Allyson shows up and breaks Michael's arm and Laurie slices his wrists saying, "I thought you were the boogeyman, but you're just a man" or something like that. Just more continuity errors.
Pay close attention to the scene after Corey kills dr Mathis he takes his hand wrap off and starts movin his hand as if he’s Transcending and healing like Michael does
The reason Michael Myers kept a low profile and was presented as week and feeble was because they were trying to make viewers lose their fascination with the character and perhaps lose interest so it would be easier to say goodbye to his character in the end. It worked for me. You're right, the storytelling was hurried and felt inadequate. Oh well, it doesn't matter anymore, because Halloween ended, and they made their millions and we're left thinking WTF happened? But it was a good watch. One time watch for me.
I feel like Michael was looking into Corey's eyes like he did in the reflection in his window.
10:56- Can I get that on a tee shirt? That should be your new catchphrase lol
I thought that Corey & Myers teaming up to kill was so ridiculous that at some point after one of their kills together I thought they might high-five each other , or play a round of rock , paper , scissors !
Great points, agree entirely. One thing I keep thinking about is Michael crawling out of the tunnel on all fours and get a good laugh 😂
I feel like the only reason Laurie was just going to let Michael kill her was because she believed that Allison was truly done with her. Allison thought Laurie killed Corey. So Laurie kinda had nothing left to live for and you just kinda can’t come back from murdering your granddaughter’s boyfriend just because you “think” he’s evil.
Wished Corey was established in the other two films to be better realized. I like the idea of evil changing shape but it was half-baked.
But gave the film a 6/10 for what it's worth.
4, 5 and 6 are still the best. Loved the review...and your jingles. Heh, heh. Go Pack go!
I believe that Michael was able to invade and transfer his evil into Corey on account of a few reasons even though they as you put it "didn't explain" it very well. Lol So due to how many years have passed and to the extent of how weak and dying they made Michael seem, I think it could have been somehow discovered or unlocked because Michael was on the verge of dying and possibly knew he needed help killing more people to regain strength? Or how Corey over those three years just went through all of the aftermath from accidentally killing Jeremy but was being made to feel like it wasn't by an entire town. So therefore allowing the same darkness Michael had to build up overtime inside of him as well. Then when it came down to actually meeting Michael in the sewer, I don't think even Michael was aware that he could even do that to Corey until they locked eyes. Seeing the same darkness Michael's had consuming him.
However, I enjoyed this movie to the same extent that you noted in this review. I almost agree with every portion of this movie that you disliked also. But I do want to say the junkyard scene where Corey( with the Michael Myers mask) killing those high school kids could have done a lot better. All those two girls had to do was move next to other cars when he was chasing them with a truck opposed to climbing a barbed wired fence. Especially when the girl wrapped in the fence essentially was the reason the other kids were killed by just sitting there and basically baiting them all. The torch to the jock's face was pretty awesome though.
Kyle Richards should have been a bigger character! The Lindsey Wallace character was one of the original survivors of Halloween 1978.
This trilogy spent so much time showing Laurie Strode's trauma but never did for Lindsey Wallace
They did all these legacy characters dirty. SMH 🤦♂️
Always look forward to what you have to say , Thanks for sharing the view u have :)
Thanks for watchin!
When corey says " i just killed somone" its clearly supposed to make the audience think hes adnitting to killing the homeless guy , the next shot shows them in the house of the kid from the start that died . It almost give the viewer hope that he feels some kind of remorse for killing the homeless guy and is admitting to it taking him off the dark path hes on when in fact hes not .... the " youre just a man in a halloween mask " quote is as hes wrestling michael and overpowering him , hes probably been told every urban legend of the guy for years and is insinuating hes nothing more than a man and not what these stories have made him out to be . I dont see how either of these two instances of dialogue are unnecessary
When Corey said to Allyson that he killed someone he was referring to Jeremy.
Also, I think the fight scene was great, short, brutal and vicious. It actually felt like a final fight. It was very well choreographed and Jamie Lee Curtis, a 63 y/o woman did most of her stunt work (that's impressive, I'm so proud of her) it was far better than the fight in H20 were she ran away most of the time and Michael just damaged her once (also that scene in H20 when Laurie kicked Michael in the balls he looked very goofy)
I think Laurie wanted revenge, but also, when she said "DO IT" was because she knowed at that moment that she had nothing else to lose.
Michael chocked her hard (the make up in JLC's neck proves it)
Anyways, Michael was actually dominating the whole thing during his fight with Laurie until she tried to take off his mask, she took advantage of that and then she killed him. The fight was epic, I loved it.
Corey was somehow alike '78 Michael after their first encounter. He changed, that's pretty obvious. Corey was 24 during the events of ENDS and Michael was 21 in 1978. Corey even survived in one of the alternate endings were Allyson shots him and then he falls through the window (similar to the ending of Halloween 1978) just for next to disappeared into the darkness of the night)
Michael is part supernatural and part human (John Carpenter said that)
He was weak, yes, but still strong enough to lift nurse Deb up with one hand and then killed her, also after all the damage that he got in 'Halloween Kills' and four years living like that and without the Smith's Grove sanatorium cares, he was still ALIVE, he's more than a human just because of that.
I also think that Corey just stealed Michael's mask just because he doesn't wanted him dead at that point (that's actually the only scene that I don't like from the movie)
ENDS gave Laurie Strode the ENDING she DESERVED as the ultimate final girl that she is. I love Laurie so much, she means a lot to me. I'm happy that they respected her unlike 'Halloween Resurrection '
I LOVE 'Halloween Ends' a lot, Jamie Lee's performance blows me away everytime and Rohan Campbell did such a great job playing Corey (such a good actor) and I love Andi Matichak as well.
The whole procession scene is very powerful and emotional. Seeing all the people who lost their beloved ones because of Michael Myers (like Sondra and Julian for example) and then Laurie destroying Michael once and for all in front of everyone was very powerful and then the final scene with Laurie and Hawkins at the November 1st morning giving them a hopeful ending is beautiful. ❤
I completely understand why some fans doesn't liked the movie, and I absolutely respect that, but, I loved it.
I love the beautiful Cinematography, the AWESOME score soundtrack by John Carpenter, the great autumn atmosphere, the dark vibe of the movie, Michael's mask, the callbacks, the opening scene, Junk Yard scene, Willie the Kid's death and I absolutely LOVED Corey Cunningham, even if some fans hate him, they can't deny Rohan's great acting skills, and in my opinion, he has an actual development unlike various characters from the franchise.
I hope time gives it its deserved good place, but I think ENDS will always be a divisive movie, and that's OK, I respect people who doesn't like it and I'm happy because every day I know more and more people who love Halloween Ends.
Fun fact: Michael had more screentime in ENDS than in the OG from 1978.
Sorry if my english is not that good, I speak Spanish.
Greetings from Mexico, Mike!
I think Laurie knew that it was gonna be easy to kill Corey because Michael was way stronger and she knew Corey was still human so he wouldn't be much of a challenge and she just wanted to mess with him I think lol
I think they had pressure from somewhere (studio?) to leave it ambiguous so the series can continue. Hence why we got the theme that evil just changes shape. Now they can continue it with a different killer. I wouldn’t be opposed to Corey still being alive and continuing on his spree. If there’s a dollar to be made, you know they’re gonna do it
When Michael grabbed Corey and look into his eyes was so odd, it reminded me of that show Charmed where one of the witches can touch people and get a premonition. So Michael can see people's past now? Make it make sense.
He should have saw how terrible this movie would be and say " Fuck it , I'm.coming out tonight ! ". .
Also, Michael literally infecting others with his evil has been implemented since 2018. Remember Sartain?
Corey should have been scraped to a separate movie or have been there in the other 2. Cuz it turned to Michael being Corey's plus one in a Michael Myers movie.
Mike THE worst thing about ENDS just might be how craptacular humans can be to other humans over something like a movie… good ol humanity… Michael isn’t pure EVIL… maybe we are
I do not like how they *NERFED* the hell out of Michael Myers.
...TO THE GODDAMN JETS!!!
Hahaha that was epic man.
Honestly, if they really didn’t want to use Michael but his presence. Why not make him live in the Sewer, eating people to survive. Then once Cory get the transfer of evil, he should’ve slowly died. So the transformation of Corey can be seen as Michael coming out of Corey as a elm street 2 kinda thing. That way you can have a young/ strong Michael “Corey” go up against Laurie. Corey has reason to go after Laurie because he is the boyfriend, while Michael is inside his soul as the pure evil, exaggerating Corey’s abilities and strength. To me that sounds more cerebral and tightly written
total agree!! A Micheal killing flashback over the last 4 years would have helped.
Yeah they did Michael dirty in Halloween ends
*Spoilers*
When Michael was beaten by Cory and when Michael was killed my wife started crying because she hated what Halloween ends did to Michael
Also, what's with the radio tower that was shown time and time again in Kills and this movie? What's the significance? Another thing that wasn't explained that needed an explanation.
As of today, October 19, 2022, Michael Myers is still alive! This movie takes place the last few days of October and October 31st, 2022, therefore this has not happened yet! Michael is going to die this Halloween, so for a brief period of time this movie takes place in the near future. If someone were to watch this movie on Halloween night this year, they will be watching it “live” in a way.
You was only able to come up with 10 things? LOL. I absolutely appreciate you and this channel. I am so disappointed in this movie! You want to try something different, do it in Kills not Ends! This movie to me was absolute garbage. Great video and thank you guys for all your hard work!!! 🎃
Halloween Ends: Season of the Bait & Switch
Michael Myers is like in his 70's, you saw the gray haired old guy in Halloween Kills.
There's no need to find 10 points to say Halloween Ends is a disappointment
The only point which makes it a big flop is : Michael Myers was just a side-character 👎
