Summary

The long reign of terror is over. Or is it...? It is. Hopes were high after Halloween 2018, but each installment got progressively worse, until finally, Halloween Ends. Synopsis The town of Haddonfield, IL is on edge from the previous Halloween’s rampage from Michael Myers. Not in a way that gets them to be safer or demand justice, but mostly in a way that makes them irrationally blame Laurie Strode for all their problems. Corey, a good kid, ends up accidentally killing a little prick of a kid, and gets labeled as psycho by the town. He gets pushed around until he finally reaches a breaking point and starts to style himself after Michael Myers. Laurie Strode herself, after living a life based on fear and vengeance, training herself to be the ultimate mercenary, in this movie says, meh, I’ll just live like a normal grandma now. And Michael Myers shows up at the end. https://youtu.be/s0vtbxLa-N8 Review of Halloween Ends After Halloween Kills, my expectations were not high for this film, but nonetheless, it didn’t meet them. I imagine for fans of the Halloween franchise, this entry will be as befuddling to them as it is to me. You would think that this being the final entry in the franchise, it would focus on what makes it work. Mainly, the unstoppable Michael Myers. Nope, they play a switcheroo, and focus on attempting to create a Michael Myers stand in protege. It’s a bold move, and could be interesting, if they didn’t completely fuck up everything to do with character development and motivation. Every character in this movie acts completely irrationally. Your brain will feel whiplash as characters completely change motivations instantly. This serves to make the plot seem completely arbitrary and nonsensical. The film attempts to analyze the nature of evil via nature vs nurture, but it falls completely flat, since they don’t present a compelling or cogent argument for either. I will say that the ending is satisfying. Laurie and Michael do get their final standoff, and it does put a period on the franchise. After watching this movie, I do hope it is the last.
