[@Dreeza68955]

Don't forget the kid in Halloween Kills. The one with the skull mask who was stealing candy out of houses.

[@18BlackLungCallahan99]

Initially I felt like he viewed the boy in 2018 as a threat after watching him shoot Sartain so that’s why he killed him. But then he killed the kid in Kills…yeah idk

It’s rare that a movie struggles THIS hard to force some kind of “deep message” that just isn’t there. This movie misses so many marks.

[@abegarfield7030]

Ll Cool J or Busta Rhymes should have been in it.

[@NoxMonstrum]

Not even that, but the fact it contradicts almost everything the prior two movies established is just hysterically bad.

[@boomstickcritique902]

For me I liked this one for being different didn't love it but I appreciate that it tried something different I found Kills decent for the hack and slash but wasn't a huge fan so I was more open to something new with this one. To me this movie basically took the concept of the ending of H4 with Jamie becoming a killer to potentially team with Myers only to never happen. This movie pretty much took that idea and ran with it I do feel the movie didn't go full force with it if you are going with the idea anyone can be the shape if they are a serial killer then I feel Corey should have just fully become the new Myers by the end that and the whole Laurie vs Michael climax felt tacked on and shouldn't have been part of the movie. This whole movie is built around Corey and Allison and should have had a climax with those 2 with Laurie as a secondary character they should have had the movie end with Allison having to kill Corey while he was in the Michael outfit in order to save Laurie that would have been more powerful and fit this story better. In my opinion this Halloween trilogy could easily be shortened down to 2 movies you could easily take the 2018 movie and combine the mob subplot of Kills into it and introduce Corey earlier in the first movie then go straight to Halloween Ends and it would play smoother.

[@perfectpasta3155]

Well it does say some thinga, Corey’s entire arc is about how people want something evil like Michael Myers to blame and to fear, it’s just not told well at all and he dies by the end and i shouldn’t have to explain how that isn’t an ending. It feels like the writers had an idea but wrote themselves into a corner whilst simultaneously remembering they had to end the trilogy so they just said fuck it and killed him off

[@michaelsinger4638]

It was just such a baffling way to end a trilogy. -Focusing on a new guy that the audience had never met and had no reason to care about. I still think that Allyson (more on her shortly) should have been the main focus here. -Giving the characters who the audience does know very little to do and not really paying off the setups for them in any way. -Having seen the movie a few times, I HATE the way Allyson is written in the film. What she’s doing, what they have her say, reducing her to “love interest,” etc. NONE of it works for me. -Sort of just abandoning the plots and stories set up in the first two films to just go off on some random thing at the last minute. -Etc. Maybe this would have worked as it’s own standalone thing (with better writing imo), but it fails as the conclusion to an Ongoing story.

I think the way this could have went was maybe a mini series or a special that focused on new killings leaving more of an air of mystery about if Michael is back or not. The idea of Michael being a monster just completely naturally without any outside influence we know of as a contrast to Corey becoming one due to Haddonfield's paranoia against him is an interesting idea. Have Corey's story about slowly being warped into a monster by the town's collective hysteria without him ever interacting with Myers UNTIL the very end of it. Have Corey go through his own little story ending with him fleeing to the sewers injured only for a weakened Michael to kill him. As the life fades from Corey's eyes Myers goes from a hunched weaker silhouette to standing upright again as the infamous Shape before credits roll. Then an actual Halloween Ends movie could happen instead focusing on the characters primarily from the previous movies.

[@abegarfield7030]

​@@Luke101 That could easily have been what happened. A lot of original scripts, after a few changes, are thrown into a franchise. This happened a number of times in the Hellraiser series.

On the discussion of it Michael kills kids or not, he did try to kill Jamie in Halloween 4 & 5.

Easy way to continue this timeline IF that’s what they decide…Time jump another 20years, Laurie has passed (peacefully). We find out Allison had a son (she was pregnant as she was leaving Haddonfield) and she has to come back for the funeral. During her time back, the boy starts acting strange, angry, violent. The evil that was in Michael that he passed to Corey, is now in his son. Body count starts to rise, Allison has to make the tough decision to stop her son, and you can see where this goes.

[@TheShadowguy64]

I love how perfectly they were setting up that Michael absorbs the souls of his victims and that is how he is able to heal from any injury. This would also explain why Michael had disappeared for so long. He was so weak that he couldn't really overpower anyone. If you want to stretch this further you could say that Michael didn't just possess Corey, he transfered part of his soul into him. Now everyone who is killed by Corey their soul is transferred into Michael, healing him faster. Then, when Michael kills Corey that is Michael taking back his soul. Instead, they went this route.......

[@reviewbomb85]

except that setup doesn't make any sense. He literally kills a mob of people, and then Karen at the end of KILLS. by the logic that this movie is trying to set up, and KILLS hints at, Michael should have absorbed enough strength to survive a nuke.

[@TheShadowguy64]

[@Luke101]

This trilogy is such a waste of potential and a truly baffling mess of concepts. The 2018 film was a really solid return to form. It was tense, Michael was spooky and intimidating, and the music kicked ass. It felt like classic Halloween. I wasn’t a huge fan of removing H2 from canon and making Laurie and Michael unrelated and making Laurie a hyper paranoid weirdo for 40 years. It felt like their confiict with each other was lessened, but it worked for the most part. Then Kills all of a sudden wanted to strip the trilogy of all of its suspense and subtlety and became a full on blood bath slasher with over the top gore and some of the dumbest characters I’ve ever seen in a horror film. It kept Laurie in a hospital the whole time making her practically usless, and also show-horned in that cringe mob mentality subplot. The movie also insinuated at the end that Michael is supernatural with him taking an absolute beating and multiple gunshots as a 61 year old man, and then getting back up like nothing happened. It says he gains power the more he kills?? Then all of a sudden we skip ahead in time in Ends, after Kills ended with a cliffhanger. A brand new main character Corey is introduced, who we have never met before, and it’s the final film of a trilogy 😑 Michael is a decrepit old hermit for some reason?? Didn’t he gain power?? And him and Laurie are sidelined until the very end for a forced lazy final fight, all the while the movie wants to beat you over the head with some deep message about evil evolving or some shit… it’s a Halloween movie!!! It’s not that deep! Just an absolute mess of a trilogy.

[@ashgreninja-flurriko2173]

There were just so many cliches that we could all see in so many forms of media. How many have you seen angry mobs, dumb characters, lazy setups, love at first sight, & forgetting about the main antagonist? Love at first sight has always been one of my least favorites because I don't believe in that shit

[@doom1509]

I like your format! Keep it up! Small critique: 2:50, Michael has killed a kid - the one who was at the prison bus breakout with his dad in the SUV. He strangled him. Even chronologically, that had already happened as it is stated that Jeremy's death happened in 2019, after Michael returned. You funnily remind me of Weird Al.. big time!

[@XenoTheProducer]

Great video as always mate. Tbf I had very little hope for this one after HKills was laughably bad imo 😆 Yet I was still shocked at how terrible this one was and how baffling the focus was on this random character I've never heard of before lol.

[@antimatta8714]

They crushed Michael's elderly skull like an empty egg shell, in that giant crushing/shredding machine during the end of the film. So Halloween didn't end, but this version of Michael Myers clearly did.....unless he can reform his body back together from a pile of bloody mush? I'm a fan of this new trilogy, but the massive focus on the Corey character (that wasn't in any of the previous films) was a massive mistake, and lost opportunity for using the final film to actually answer some of the many questions and mysteries that has been set up in the previous films, hence a lot of people rightfully being disappointed with the final film.....no-one wanted Corey Cunningham as the lead character and main focus of the last film. But the one thing that this new trilogy definitely got right was the performance and visual design of Michael Myers, the Mask's and general vibe of the character was great throughout these three films, just a shame the storyline that went nowhere? 🎃

[@captainfordgunz1995]

I agree. I actually quite enjoyed the trilogy, and Halloween Ends. It wasn't a bad film, but I feel like it would have served better by itself. Kind of like how Halloween 3 would have fared better separated from the Halloween franchise. After coming off of Halloween Kills I couldn't really complain about Michael not being in most of the film. I'd already seen a lot. I just feel like they lost the plot about halfway through this movie. The story that they were trying to tell, didn't really have a payoff. I can still enjoy it though. It just could have been done better.

[@doom1509]

I think this was a missed opportunity to make a cliffhanger ending where Allyson kills Michael and it hints that she's now inherited his evil or whatever. They set that up perfectly if you think about it. The way she's gripping the knife at the end of 2018. Her parents getting off'd, her friends, her boyfriend. The way the relationship between her and Laurie strains. Would of been perfect in my opinion. And they should of left it there, like no sequels.

There's no need to lie to us about Willie's death. He actually got his jaw unhinged, then his tongue cut off and it making the record skip. We know KZbin's guidelines no longer allow graphic violence to be shown, but that's no reason to flat-out lie.

If they had actually planned this trilogy and Corey was apart of things from the beginning and they built up to all of this it would have been better recieved, i think. It would still have sucked to not have Michael as much, but at least we wouldnt spend the entire movie with a random person that didnt exist before. It cheapened everything and was just uninteresting overall. It could have been goos, if it was actually thought out. But you could say that about this entire trilogy.

My biggest question about this movie is why did they stay in Haddenfield? Imagine if Laurie had just left that town. But, movie's gotta movie.

[@NeptuneNoire]

Same thing as why tf they kept trying to reopen Crystal Lake. 🤣

[@theshape3431]

The writing and acting was actually way better in this movie than Halloween Kills. But it didn’t fit the trilogy. Shoulda just kept the trilogy all on the same night. Blumhouse (although swore not to in the beginning) fell into the same trap everyone else did with Halloween sequels. They tried to do too much. They tried to explain everything and tie loose ends together. Ppl always forget what made the original scary. You don’t need to explain shit.

[@Mr_.G]

Drilled the film series into the ground, that was sh*t

[@ChrisMortJr.]

I like this movie, the idea of Michael being a concept that people can abuse in order to commit atrocities is a very interesting concept. I think they did a good job with that and it's pretty neat...if you ignore the fact that this is the end of a trilogy and scream has been doing that much better for a lot longer. Not a bad watch, but not a halloween movie really.

[@jaredwatt8769]

Not enough space to write everything wrong with this movie. its like the people behind this movie never saw the last 2 but they made the last 2

I honestly hope they don't reboot this franchise again. I just don't see them doing another movie without bringing back that unnecessary sibling angle, which just doesn't work with out Jamie Lee Curtis.

This movie so Stephen King like and of course it's think that we want it both ways one minute he's just an ordinary man the next minute he's supernatural.

[@FatherMellow]

I feel like this Halloween trilogy and the Star Wars sequel trilogy have the same spiritual vibes. Both trilogies with so much potential that could have been and they have this weird muddled message that switches movie to movie and just makes them all kinda... meh.

[@Luke101]

And it was such an easy slam dunk concept from the jump. Bring back these iconic characters and continue their journey from where we last saw them. Don’t make them unrecognizable shells of their former selves. Don’t introduce random new main characters that the audience doesn’t care about, and don’t make OBVIOUS bad choices just to “do something different” The fact that Luke Han and Leia never share a scene together in the sequels is fucking criminal

[@marx-e]

I would much rather rewatch Zombies versions than dedicate my time to understand this weird trilogy

[@theshape3431]

The Corey thing was pointless. Like what were they trying to tell us? Other ppl can be evil too? Well yeah, but Corey was nothing like Michael. Michael is mysterious and didn’t turn out the way he did from being bullied (besides Rob Zombie’s version), and Michael was much tougher and more brutal than Corey was. Michael is a different level of evil that not anyone can be. Corey was like low tier evil. And isn’t funny how many things blumhouse did in this trilogy that rob zombie did, even tho they had so much shit to talk about his movies in the beginning ?

[@theshape3431]

Michael was evil since he was a kid.. he may have always been evil. We don’t know why he’s evil and that’s what makes him scary. So what the fuck were they trying to insinuate with Corey turning evil in his late teen years from being bullied? Literally has nothing to do with Michael. Michael isn’t every-day type of evil. I hate how they tried to be “woke” and incorporate real life into it

[@theshape3431]

Like anyone can be evil and evil never dies. Okay but again, that’s not Michael. Michael is not regular evil. That whole concept takes away from his mysteriousness

[@TONYGILLEY]

Jeremy Allen was horribly mistaken; Michael Myers WILL kill a kid given the circumstances that motivates him to do so. The 2018 film, he snapped the neck of the dancing middle-schooler and in Halloween Kills he beheaded (off screen) one of the punk kids who were playing in the park. Pre-Teen or Teen, they're still kids, Jermey would be singing a different tune if The Shape were to stand before him. Instead, he got a very harsh lesson in Karma.

[@abegarfield7030]

He killed his 17 year old sister. I know a lot of perverts think 17 isn't a child but no one is giving them the babysitting jobs that they crave.

[@TONYGILLEY]

@abegarfield7031 As I see it, 17 is still a minor, making them a kid. 18 is a probationary adult, but not old enough to legally drink; still a kid to me. 21 is officially a full-on adult.

Over 1 year later and I thought this was terrible I’m baffled David Gordon Green thought this was a good idea They are talking about a tv series now so maybe that can rectify a few things When I saw this last Halloween 2022 at my theater I thought it was a mixed bag; a lot of stuff they could've left in the cutting room floor and Michael Myers is severely absent in this This script's focus isn't in the right place Very polarizing for a lot of fans I agree But I love Jamie Lee Curtis giving it her all saying goodbye to this character of Laurie Strode and there's some very good acting from Andi Matichak They tackle commentary of in-cells, guilt, trauma, and paranoia creeping in infecting a community like a plague I had some of the same issues with Jurassic World: Dominion with the director not having his priorities in tact The final 10 min is the stuff I wanted to see, it just didn't gel with the majority of what's presented before Not the big curtain call I was hoping for but if they make a newer version in the future maybe they'll rectify a few of these writing issues My favorite installments after 13 movies are still the original, H2O, and the 2018 film

“What did you do to him.” Allyson, the freaking Michael mask is right next to him. They write her as such a stupid, naive brat in th is film.

[@kaptanm_and_d5579]

Decker, Michael killed one kid in both Halloween 2018 and Halloween Kills for a total of two children killed on Halloween night of 2018.

[@Horseman21]

I personally view it as the worst of the Halloween movies. Such a great build up in Halloween 2018 to drop the ball severely in Ends. Kills is the better movie when compared to Ends and that suffered from lacking any meaningful plot.

[@FD-io4pk]

I had no idea that the most important thing in a slasher movie is not an iconic kiler, creative kills or even victim characters that are either laughably dumb or that you love to hate but the most important thing in a slasher movie is pretending it's made for a smarter audience by blurring (very slightly) the line between good and evil. I'm sure people that enjoy slasher movies want to be confused and scratch their head around a philosophical message that is all but subtle. Anyway thanks for a wonderful and humorous review !
