HALLOWEEN ENDS 10 Things I Hated 

The progression of Corey and Allyson's relationship was like a speedrun

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.

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 😂

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.

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

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.

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.

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”.

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.

Idk but the soundtrack was amazing, loved the old school music

How bout when Corey’s dad said “I hope you find love?” I died laughing

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.

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...

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

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.😂😂😂

I told my wife that laurie pulled a Batman on Corey when he was talking to her 😂😂

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.

Is anyone going to talk about how huge James Jude Courtney looked when he stabbed that woman to the wall with the knife!

“You can’t lead a horse to water if there isn’t a fucking horse” 😂😂

You guys need to do a parody sketch of Corey wrestling and taking Michael's mask in the sewer!🤣🤣🤣 Gotdamn you, Michael!!!

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?!

Now, here's the 10 Things I LOVED About HALLOWEEN ENDS - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UG847GO9Dfs.html ALSO we're live tonight at 8PM EST!

“You can’t lead a horseto water if you don’t have a fucking house!” I’m stealing that lmao

The transition into the intro was smooth in my opinion 😂

"You can't lead a horse to water if you don't have a fucking horse!" - Mike Holtz, 2022

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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. .

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 COMPLETELY forgot about the "i just killed somebody" and awkward scene transition until you mentioned it LMAO

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

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 we now need is a Corey/Myers parody buddy cop style movie 😆

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Micheal and Laurie fight should have been like 5 to 10 minutes longer.

I'm pretty sure Michael got around with the car that Doug left behind after he was killed in the cave.

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).

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.

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.

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 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*

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

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.

10:56- Can I get that on a tee shirt? That should be your new catchphrase lol

Michael Myers deserves better 😢 they started out strong with 2018 then disappointing with ends

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 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’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

I feel like Michael was looking into Corey's eyes like he did in the reflection in his window.

this is the only channel that truly understands why so many of us didnt like the movie despite them liking the movie. im not gonna name names you know the other big horror channels. this is why this is the only channel to actually get a star from these movies to come on.

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

Corey should've befriended and nurse Michael back to health and use him to get revenge. Like in Evil of Frankenstein

I actually thought the sequence where Corey tells Allison that he killed somebody was quite good. I believe that Corey was expressing his guilt over murdering the homeless man without actually admitting to anything. He knew Allison would assume he was referring to the accident with the child. For me it shows Corey is reluctant to embrace the evil growing inside him but can't , or won't, try to fight / stop it.

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 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.

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.

Also, Michael literally infecting others with his evil has been implemented since 2018. Remember Sartain?

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.

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.

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

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 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

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.

Laurie wasn’t quitting, she was talking to her granddaughter like she talked to Karen in Kills before she stabbed him with the pitchfork.

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 😢

Always look forward to what you have to say , Thanks for sharing the view u have :)

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 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.

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 !

total agree!! A Micheal killing flashback over the last 4 years would have helped.

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 she said "do it!" to Michael I thought she was going to let him infect her with his evil. Maybe it goes back to what Corey told her about giving in to what she saw in his eyes the first time.

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

"Korn fucking cover band" OMG!! I'm still laughing!!!

It amazes me the "fandom" backlash this movie is getting. You wanted a Halloween movie and you got it. It checked all the boxes that was required for this franchise. You got Micheal ( regardless of time on screen), You got Laurie Strode ( more than in Kills) gruesome deaths and as the title of the moving implies and End. There seems to be more time with people over analyzing a 44 year old movie franchise then actually taking it for what it's worth and just enjoying it.

4, 5 and 6 are still the best. Loved the review...and your jingles. Heh, heh. Go Pack go!

Completely agree. Guess it’s not that bad but honestly if I had the chance might erase this from the franchise.

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

Corey parents were straight out of Christine Artie parents

The tunnel scene was hilarious, Instantly thought of you and j

...TO THE GODDAMN JETS!!! Hahaha that was epic man.

LMAO Wisconsin Cheesehead over here I totally feel your pain 🤣🤣

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

Maybe the reason Laurie kind of gave up at the end was because even though Michael was dying she could have thought he wasn’t going to stop until he killed her so they would just die together and it would finally be over? Idk it was weird how she had all of this fight in her for all these years and just gave up as Michael was dying in her kitchen..maybe she will explain that one day

I don't have a problem with updating the mythology including that murder gives him his power.... but in that case.... Michael should have been firing on all cylinders. I mean look how many people he took out in KILLS.
