    I have my issues with H20, but I definitely prefer it to Ends. The ending was great. Laurie chopping off Michael’s head, the classic Halloween theme playing, that final shot of a determined Laurie breathing heavily as she holds that axe…it was so good.
    That said, I’ve never warmed to Chris Durand’s take on Michael. “Clumsy” is a fine word for his performance. That scene where he does his version of the Michael Myers “sit-up” makes me laugh every time.

    A new Kylie video just makes my day instantly better, so thanks for that!! And I was getting a bit burnt out near the end of October, but now I'm back into Halloween mode after the holiday "officially ended" haha. The timing of this video was perfect for me!
    I kept noticing homages throughput the new Halloween trilogy, but you crystalized that concept for me in a way I hadn't completely articulated to myself. I'm not a nostalgia person mostly, but I found a few of those fascinating what they referenced like the Season of the Witch masks. I feel like the Cory stuff while taking a cue from Jamie reminded me of Rob Zombie's take on child Michael too. The whole what makes him tick thing which I feel is unnecessary but Michael is such a simple character if you need a new way to extend a movie idea it makes an interesting challenge I guess. Reguardless of the outcome. Perhaps they took the same concept and just applied it to Cory. Like an homage that took on a life of it's own? I'm tired , and trying to make sense of Halloween Ends at the same time is weird but I'm trying! I hope my thoughts were clear even if I'm being overly wordy. And thanks for making videos that make you think. I try to do that in my own work, and you're a very good inspiration to do that well.

    My Opinion:
    Writing: Tied (H20’s finally confronting your monster vs Ends’ overcoming your trauma and healing)
    Score: Ends
    Kills: Ends
    Direction: H20
    Mask: Obviously Ends
    The Shape: Ends
    Laurie Strode: Ends
    Cinematography: Ends
    Opening: H20
    Atmosphere: Ends
    The Final Fight: Tied (H20 feels more grand, epic, and long while Ends feels more personal, real, brutal, and has a more finality
    H20 has been getting a lot of hate lately. My negatives for it are the score and the constant change in masks but that’s it I love both but rewatching all 13 films this past Halloween, Ends is my 2nd favorite and H20 is my 4th favorite. H20 is a satisfying finale to the sibling timeline while Ends is a satisfying finale to the character of Laurie Strode.

      Okay 1. Michael and Laurie are not brother and sister 2. DGG didn't need to explain their relationship because his trilogy is a continuation of the original 1978 film, 3. In that film the assumption of Laurie simply being the first girl Michael really noticed after escaping Smith's Grove reminded him of his sister Judith. He wanted to kill Laurie immediately for that reason, the lifelong obsession with Laurie came as a result of her being the one person he could never kill, she was never obsessed with him in return in the current timeline aside from her obsession with protecting herself and everyone from what she deemed as pure evil or "the Boogeyman." It really is that simple my guy. Michael views Laurie as the one who always gets away, initially brought to his attention as a reminder of Judith. Laurie views Michael as the embodiment of pure Evil and a relentless force of nature who her entire family is danger of as long as he's alive and breathing. At best, they're metaphorical "siblings" but no blood relation
      ...
      The Sister films and Curse trilogy pale in comparison to Michael's explanation in the OG timeline imo in addition to he and Laurie's relationship

    Your thoughts on Ends mirror my own. I'm still baffled this is the movie they decided to make and am convinced it's the result of a forced compromise.
    At some point in the process, I believe Green decided to end the Strode/Myers storyline in the second installment to free himself to make his part 3 in the spirit of the original part three. Instead, he was compelled to stretch the final showdown into the third entry alongside his very different storyline to satisfy varying interests.

    H20 makes sense as a finale after Halloween 1 and Halloween 2. It's also much more satisfying as an end story.
    Halloween Ends makes no sense as a finale after Halloween 1, 2018 and Kills. However, the film making and music are better in Ends than H20.
    One thing that always bothered me since 2018 and I never felt was actually explored enough to make work and is what I think doomed Halloween Ends is this:
    The Laurie from H20 went through far more than the Laurie from 2018 because in H20 Halloween 2 is canon. Yet, Laurie from H20 was able to make every effort possible to move on and was living a happy life until Michael went to find her.
    The Laurie from 2018 went through far less since Halloween 2 isn't canon. Yet 2018 Laurie could not move on. It's as if the two Lauries were in the wrong timelines.
    After thinking more about 2018, I thought there was a really great opportunity. What I felt was that by not making them siblings in the 2018 timeline and having it be that the only reason Michael ended up at Laurie's place in 2018 was because of that crazy doctor driving Michael there, that there was a really great opportunity to explore the psychology of 2018 Laurie being so traumatized that she invented this rivalry in her head with Michael that actually never existed from Michael's POV. That should've been the through-line of the whole trilogy that would've driven to the finale of Ends with Laurie having to come to terms with that. Instead, it's treated as something minor and not brought up again. Had David Gordan Green seen this great opportunity from the start then Ends would've been cohesive and the end truly satisfying. But he didn't see it and that's what allowed him to just go off the rails with the irrelevant Corey story line for the 3rd movie.

    Really smart breakdown of these movies. In total agreement with what you said about the strengths and weaknesses. Also glad you pointed out how especially sloppy the editing was in ENDS. There were times that I heard Laurie's tone change completely while they stayed on a close-up of Corey and it just felt like instinctively they should have cut back to Laurie. Not to mention the fact that they should not have waited until the 3rd film to introduce him. As sterile as H20 was, at least the story made more sense. Despite the mask(s) being ridiculous. Maybe someone can deep fake the original Myers mask over Michael in H20, and replace the awful Creed soundtrack. That I would pay to see.

    How they set it up in H:20 to show how Micheal found Laurie was him going to Nurse Marions house when he kills her and the 2 teens. They show her office or Dr Loomis room completely ransacked like a break in. It was stated that Loomis had moved in with her before he passed away and all his patient files were all over the place. Lauries file with all her info was empty. Pretty clever .....but like you say.....when did Mikey get so smart hahahaha. Great video and comparison!!

    Also, I do feel maybe there was some commentary in "Ends" on how fans obsese over killers, fictional characters as well, and how it does shape us. I felt it relevant, like with Dahmer. So many called for the role of Dahmer to not be romanticized, but when you cast Even Peters as Dahmer, it's already romanticized. No way around it.... Show was great, most missed the point. I would love to hear your take on "Natural Born Killers." While not excatly a "horror", or "slasher" film, I'd still find it interesting to hear your thoughts on it.

    I'm currently leaning towards Halloween Ends. Though there are things that Halloween H20 has done better, I have to admit. Like how Michael was handled in the final act. One of the H20's greatest flaws has to go to recycling soundtracks from Scream (1996) and Scream 2. Nearly took me out of the movie each time I heard the tracks. I enjoyed the final battle in H20. Very impactful when she finally decides to stop running and face Michael Myers. I also was overall satisfied with the final battle in Halloween Ends, though I wanted slightly more than what we got. I recently noticed in the H20 battle, Michael barely was able to attack Laurie. Like only once when he cut her arm the same way he did in 1978. Throughout the rest of the fight, he's taking attacks left and right. I didn't fear for Laurie's life in that battle. But in Halloween Ends, Laurie came close to being killed and I feared for her life. Even in 2018, I feared for her life. I felt she was in real danger. Never understood why Michael's hands had no scars from the fire in Halloween 2. Halloween Ends has an even more ballsy conclusion. That's saying a lot because I always thought H20 had a ballsy ending...until it was 💩 on. Both movies I feel had deep flaws and I proudly like them both. I'm kinda glad not enough people appreciate Halloween Ends because I feel the hate will help keep this timeline laid to rest as intended. (Sorry for the super long Lord Of The Rings length comment. 😂) P.S You're so awesome!!!

Also, the more I hear criticisms on how Corey was able to knock Michael on his ass, the more I believe Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter had similar criticisms on how Tommy was the one who put an end to Jason's bloodbath (Back when it was a brand new movie). At the time, I'm sure there were some people who hated that Jason was put down that way.

    Halloween Ends could've been so epic if they had an actual plan for the new trilogy, if they introduced certain characters and themes earlier to build on later.

    I don't really have an opinion on which is better... I think both movies are somewhat flawed. Halloween 1978 comes across to me as basically timeless. H20 and Ends are both "contemporary" interpretations and suffer from that. Like if Halloween 78 or Halloween 2 (81) came on TV I'd probably watch them, if H20 or Ends came on TV, probably not. Come to think of it, could Ebert be on about a Psycho style shower scene? They had Marion Crane from Psycho and there would be a lot of showers in a boarding school. Missed totally out of place opportunity 😂😂😂.

    Interesting take. I hated Ends when I first saw it but over the 2 weeks that followed I actually kinda started to love it. I definitely think that it doesn’t work as a finale of the trilogy or series overall and it should’ve taken place after Michaels death as a stand-alone spinoff of kind of exploring Michaels curse and legacy on the town of Haddonfield with Corey as the sole antagonist. But honestly Corey is the only thing about Ends that works for me and I really loved that character. But overall yeah H20 is probably the better movie. Just don’t like Michael in it and wish it had more of a fall atmosphere. Oh and more Josh Hartnett too

    I also find it hard to articulate how I feel about "Ends." Both of these films have charm, but I'd have to choose "Ends." I feel it took itself more seriously. Paul Brad Logan, who wrote the "Ends" novel, described the scene with Corey as, "Michael seeing the evil in Corey", and Corey basically giving in to "the evil." I'm paraphrasing, but that's pretty much how he said it. Messy, yes, but I liked it. Unfortunately, not as much as I had anticipated, but it was a good time watching. H20 has charm as well, but just felt like a cash grab.

  • @ridroost3276

    Honestly, while watching Ends, I kept thinking to myself that it was really interesting that they went this specific route. I wasn't a huge fan of the dialogue and a lot of things didn't make sense. It doesn't fit into this trilogy they were building whatsoever but I have a feeling that the story they were trying to tell could have been a great separate movie. Showing how evil is formed and the transfer of power. I thought it was pretty interesting but it was bogged down by expectations for something else. I was expecting something completely different going into this movie. Definitely would have liked this take if it came out at a different time. They couldn't go all out with Corey because they had to include the end fight with Michael and Laurie. Again, I thought it was a really cool concept for the franchise but it just should not have been used as the ending to this trilogy.

    H20 just had better written scenes / dialogue, such as the scene in the restaurant where she orders a 2nd glass of Chardonnay. It’s brilliant.
    1. The Laurie character is better written, acted and just makes more sense
    2. The relationship with her son, John, is better written than with the daughter in 2018 (and the chemistry between Jamie Lee Curtis/Josh Hartnett is better than Jamie Lee Curtis/Judy Greer) - the scene in the kitchen with John and also when he's caught outside of the school and she yells at him is just so well written/acted.
    3. The aforementioned scene in the restaurant, along with her nightmare scene at the start delicately gives us insight into her issues without feeling the need to ram it down our throats like in 2018.
    4. You still have the brother/sister relationship between Michael and Laurie so it makes sense that she'd still feel that Michael was going to try and come after her/her son. Whereas in the 2018 movie there is no motive and no real reason why Laurie has feared Michael for 40 years or brought up her child to fear him.
    5. Having Janet Leigh in the H20 movie and the interactions between her and Jamie Lee is brilliant.
    6. I prefer what they did with the Marion Chambers character in H20. I thought her kill scene was done pretty well and I really enjoy that opening.
    7. That final showdown between Laurie and Michael and THAT ending is just 10/10. The ending we get in 2018 is 'fine' but the fact we are meant to believe she had built a trap for Michael under her kitchen counter was just ridiculous and completely took me out of the 'grounded' approach they were aiming for with these new movies.

  • @davidranderson1

    I don't think the ups and downs of a movie's production necessarily says anything about its quality. Some classic movies had epically troubled productions. The Wizard of Oz had several directors and changed screenwriters 20 times. Casablanca was essentially made by committee with the directing and screenwriting roles shifting back and forth. Jaws was a movie about a mechanical shark that rarely worked. Perhaps the champ: Apocalypse Now was supposed to be filmed in 5 months, but took a year, during which a typhoon destroyed the sets, the lead actor had a heart attack and the director attempted suicide.
