Review of Halloween Ends (2022) by Mack9393 — 14 Oct 2022

If you enjoy the original Halloween films, particularly 1 & 2, then you’ll probably want to watch regardless of reviews. The reviews shoveling praise onto this film must be bots. Let’s just say it’s disappointing compared to the previous two films, which weren’t standouts on their own beyond returning to the franchise roots. A solid 40min of slow buildup for a character and relationship that seems foreign and inauthentic to the established characters. It was unique in that it tried to convey how evil can grip anyone, but it just wasn’t executed well.

Plenty of gore, and quality kills. Very little suspense and a disappointing plot all in all. It completely ignores how he could endure so much physical trauma without death only to die by a couple stab wounds and arterial bleeding in a five minute conclusion to 40 years of terror.
