Halloween Ends Re Review

The biggest person I felt the most sorry for was James Jude Courtney. Terrible way for him to go out after two great performances.

"This was a romance movie and then someone remembered it was supposed to be a 'Halloween' movie and said, 'Oh, I've got to write that in!'" is the best summary I have heard of this movie.

I think if the pandemic never shut down movie productions and caused all these delays then Halloween Ends would have been a different film then what we got. I agree with Mike that it's a good stand-alone movie but as the 3rd film in a Halloween trilogy it failed.

Ends had great ideas that they introduced too late into the franchise. It's more frustrating than bad

Besides rewrites, i believe this was a creative way to end the franchise. Especially after 20+ years of Michael Myers, it would have been hard NOT to make a stereotypical walk around and slash film that we have seen recreated. This film put some things down for the next Halloween creators to either pick up or scrap. This film was about the fear of Michael Myers, what it has caused, and what really happens when you look into those eyes. People affected by Michael didn’t wanna leave town they wanted revenge. Becoming less and less of themselves and more vengeful/empty. Leaving room for Corey to exist.

My brain honestly can’t even begin to comprehend mikes love for this movie but goddammit I respect (ps I was actually on board for Cory getting infected with evil and agree that tag team scene was BADASS)

If Corey and Cameron were the same guy, and he survived the events of Kills... EVERYTHING WOULD MAKE SO MUCH MORE SENSE. If Cameron and Allyson survive a face off with Michael, their relationship is already established and we don't need the honeymoon/love blossoms story that Ends tells. Both of them losing a mother and father - both halves of the parental unit - inside of the Myers House is perfect for explaining why they're broken after. Also, 2018 and Kills constantly push that the Elams are looked down on by the town. It would make the outcast treatment of Corey much more fitting if it was Cameron instead.

Cameron should have been the one to eventually turn into a killer. His character was there from the start and they could have built a thread for his character from 2018 to Ends.

Ends is the most depressed ive been after highly anticipating a film and being let down

I would love to hear what the original concept for this trilogy was because it feels like they made it up as they went along

I've been into you guys since about 2015. You got me more into horror.

Omg your smiles in the re-review thumbnail 😅 love it!

I respect you guys for being unbiased and honest with these re-reviews. Thanks for the entertainment fellas!

My god , the annexation of Puerto Rico is something I still use till this day , exactly why I love you guys! Appreciate the effort and insight you both always put in very informative , fun and insightful. I’m looking for Ray Finkel and a clean pair of shorts.

If Halloween Ends was a standalone movie, even a Halloween movie, it would be good. As the final chapter in a trilogy, it was a huge departure from its own trilogy. It didn't fit in my opinion.

Love watching you guys talk Halloween, never gets old! Love the channel and still absolutely love Halloween Ends!! 🤘🎃

Welcome back Jay!! Halloween 2018 was absolutely amazing, the other two are fun.. But absolutely nothing compared to 2018.

The Little Giants reference on point! 😂

Thanks for doing this, you guys are awesome :)

Omg! When he said he hated that Michael Myers was living in a sewer. It was like Michael was waiting for JG Wentworth to settle his courtcase" 😂😂😂

@WeWatchedAMovie Mike I really want one of those shirts ☹️ Also thanks for liking my pic of you guys in my Father’s Day frame I showed today 🤟🏼 That totally made my day and you’re right it is beautiful 💪🏼

i still havent figured out if i love ends or not.

The one we’ve all been waiting for !

I feel like ends and 2018 need to be swapped, would have made more sense

The frustarting thing was Corey getting bullied by Squirt-Gun Kelly.

The Zordon/Power Ranger analogy 🤣🤣🤣

I like ends reminded me of a late 1990 thriller horror movie like disturbing behavior , urban legends etc

So good to see the band back together WOO

Jay really spoke from the heart like MLK lmao

I hate Halloween Ends. I watched it again to try to give it another chance but naaah lol!! It makes Resurrection look like gold 😂😂😂😂

It looks really good the color schemes and the action and killing scenes are good

I gave Halloween Ends a rewatch recently and I think it was slightly better than the first time I’d seen it. There’s a good Halloween movie buried underneath all the ideas but at the end of the day… it’s just not Halloween. Btw, that Little Giants reference…. 😂😂😂

Wait... were we not meant to see the beginning of the previous upload? My sides were splitting at it, I loved it

Halloween Ends rules. Come back in 20 years when it's appreciated more.

What I love about this time a year is I get wwamed on my feed hard and love it! 😂

Love seeing the boys in the same room! I'd rate it a 3 personally. I'm with J on this one. If they had introduced Corey earlier in the series I'd have given it a 7

Love these guys ❤

Halloween Ends is Basically the movie Christine with Micheal Myers in it lol

I enjoyed these three Halloween movies, but the backlash they received got me thinking about what I would have done differently with them (which is always fun to think about). Personally, I would have had 2018 be the way it is (maybe with some minor tweaks😅), and have it end the exact way it did; Laurie, Karen, and Allison get away, and we see the basement burning with no Michael in it. The Myers house would be demolished, like it was in Ends, leaving Michael with nowhere to go back to and in search of a new “home.” The next movie, which would be my final movie if I had it my way, would be a continuation of 2018 with Allison in her senior year at college in a different state (maybe somewhere semi-close to Illinois, or in California if you want to pay homage to H20). With Halloween approaching, Allison begins to see Michael during the day, just as Laurie did leading up to Halloween night in 1978. Of course, Allison assumes she’s hallucinating from some resurfaced trauma from 2018, as Michael is there and gone like in the original movie. Allison has a strange feeling that these “hallucinations” are real, as people around campus are starting to go missing day by day. Allison begins fearing the worst and realizes that this time, she must face Michael alone; with no Karen or Laurie to help her, she begins to lose control. Those around her are concerned for her wellbeing, but she is not having any of it. Her friends decide to distance themselves from her, and her boyfriend, unable to deal with the situation, breaks up with Allison. This leaves Allison isolated, paranoid, and afraid, just like her grandmother. The ending would conclude with many people being victims of Michael until Allison is forced to confront him one-on-one in a similar chase scene to H20 (Allison is being chased around campus, and eventually uses her “home field advantage” to get the upper hand). I would end the movie with a definitive conclusion with Allison coming out the victor, but I would not be mad at all with an open ended conclusion if someone were to do that instead. Obviously there is a lot more that would tie into the movie, but this is what I just thought of when Ends came out and all of the backlash happened. You could include Laurie and/or Karen in the movie, but if I did it might be something as simple as Allison on a phone call with her mom and another call with her grandmother on vacation with her husband, Frank Hawkins, in Japan under cherry blossom trees. I think Allison going through a similar situation as Laurie with everyone leaving her isolated and viewing her as a basket case would be interesting because Allison would now understand why Laurie was the way she was, and everyone thinking she is crazy would make sense because they are outside of Haddonfield where Michael is not a well-known figure. I don’t know, just my thoughts😅, as I am sure there are plenty of flaws in it like people wanting to know how Michael escaped the basement and made it to another state; however, I feel like what has always made Michael so scary was that things are not always explained with him, and that is what makes him more terrifying. There would also be a lot more stalking and shots in the movie of him in the background observing things, as this is how he was in the original movie (he stuck to the shadows and let the suspense build instead of charging in like a mindless monster, which I also find more terrifying). Also, I miss seeing Michael out in the daytime, as there was a whole other level of horror involved in him being out in broad daylight; this opens the door for him to be more of a presence throughout the movie, not just at nighttime.

I gotta ask you guys, if you were making the reboot, do you make michael just a psychotic man or do you make him an unstoppable supernatural force?

Watching your videos leading up to Halloween ends is what made me subscribe. You guys were stoked, I was stoked and then the movie came. And it was a pretty big disappointment

I liked this movie much better on rewatch this week. Remove your expectations from the trilogy and it's a genuinely good stand-alone film, IMO

Thanks for sharing another entertaining video guys!!! 🎃🎃🎃 Jamie Lee Curtis even said in press that this was going to piss people off. Indeed 😉 Also, the script changed because of the pandemic. What we got, we should still be appreciative of a new Halloween movie 🍿🎥 that's all...

I respect both of your opinions but I stand with Jay. Speaking of which, I wish Jay was in more videos. He makes me laugh every time and it never fails!

Pretend these movies were made in the 80's. 2018: Obligatory re-hash sequel. 'Kills': Obligatory 80's slasher. 'Ends': Obligatory break in formula + John Carpenter homage (because he originally broke the formula).

So I actually worked on this movie (sweeping floors, loading and unloading trucks.... grunt shit). I supposedly have a credit on this movie.... still haven't seen it haha. Love your fucking faces

For me I just view Halloween 1978 and 2018 as a sequel. Everything else is it’s own imagining this included. If this, and the rob zombie movies were called ANYTHING else with different characters they would be solid horror movies but here we are

It ends at Halloween 2018 for me with the Fire fighting scene being the Epilogue.

I always thought the entire trilogy should of started with Corey being a copy cat style serial killer with Myers slowly making a return. Halloween 2018 would be the second film and the 3rd film would be the events of Halloween Kills.

Totally agree with Jay's assessment of the movie. The only thing different is my rating, which is just a little lower at 4/10. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The silent alarm trigger thing Loomis refers to early on could conceivably happen to another kid in and around Haddonfield. Maybe even the lame kid cast in Ends…

Halloween kills shouldn’t have been experimental. I never thought a Halloween movie could make me hate it more than resurrection and the rob zombie halloweens. Congrats David Gordon green….You did it!!

I never understood why Laurie spent 40 yrs tryin to kill Michael for killing her friends, but all of a sudden stops after he kills her daughter?! Like really?! She should of been hunting him even more and doing whatever she could to find and kill him once and for all. The character progression didn't make sense, like Laurie and Hawkins, when they say each other it was like they haven't seen each other in years in that small a town. They acted like everything happened a month ago or something.

I've seen it 4 times now and my rating still stays at a 6/10 there are some things that I do like but overall it wasn't a halloween movie for me love the video as always guys

I’m to the point where I can never rewatch this film, it just hurts so much seeing Michael disrespected that way

Just looking at Mike's face on the thumbnails, you can see the disappointment as the films go on, like life draining from him

I cant believe this movie has a massive fanbase THIS WAS NOT THE HALLOWEEN MOVIE WE WANTED!!!!! NOT TO END THE OG 1978 TIMELIME!!!! I get it , it was " different " , its not a bad movie it felt like a halloween antholgy if they go to a tv series to me it felt like that , but cmon lets be serious!! , great review fucking love you sexy dudes🔪🎃🔪🎃🔪

If they not did the Corey Cunningham thing it would’ve been good. All 3 of the Blum House films paid homage to all the films before it but yeah they could’ve implemented the Michael killing vicariously through another person a lot better though we could’ve did without it altogether

I like this film. I have a slew of problems with it, but I enjoy talking to other people about it. But often new points get brought up that give me even more problems. Indecision is huge in a franchise like this. I don’t think that 2018’s ending was incredibly satisfying, but that’s probably the best we’ve gotten because there is no clear way to kill off an unkillable character. And calling the movie “Halloween Ends” was a mistake. They had a start point but no real end in mind so they had to do weird things to get there.

Ends was my favorite of the trilogy. Very hemroidal opinion , Butt I love it 💯🤘

Still got to see you Shirtless Mike 😍

You cut out the beginning when jay is pondering bringing women to the wwAM family and mike showing off his belly😅! Bring it back!!! Seriously Jay has a good idea. Collaborate with other youtubers more often. Being a woman is optional but a good idea💪🔥🖖

The funny thing about the sewer fight scene is the story JJC told; apparently what we DIDN’T see was Corey lifting Michael up over his head before throwing him down 🤦🏼‍♂️😂 Mike was right in the first review when he said it gave us shit to talk about. We’ve been theorizing and coming up with what if scenarios for a year and it’s been a shit ton of fun. So for that; I’ve grown to appreciate it.

Most people forget that the original storyline for ends would take place the same night as kills but covid delayed them from filming both movies back-to-back. This was still a fun plot to make up for what was originally planned

I think its hilarious that this movie gets the same response Halloween 3 gets.

I’ve watched it seven times now and I now give it a 6.5/10!

Would you rather be killed by Michael myers (from 2018/ kills version) or Micheal myers (rob zombie version)?

Ah this movie was so unforgivable.

Halloween Ends is my favourite of the series

With that being said, I feel like ENDS is a Stephen king adaptation of what a Halloween movie is. Echoing the other comments, Christine is written all over this.

True story: This movie was so bad it revived Richie from Scream 5

I think they messed up with making the first two movies the same night, just like the original… they should have had Kills begin with Michael escaping the fire and then flashforward. The timeframe of the one-night is messed up in both the original Halloween II and Kills because of this stretch. If they had just based Kills in a different year, and maybe then introduce Corey, etc. it would have made more sense. Also, why is Michael unstoppable? Is it “Samhain”, which is some reason a part of the title of Laurie’s memoir, but not mentioned in this trilogy, and retconned beforehand? Also, if he’s unstoppable, how was he apprehended and committed for 40 years? What stopped him from killing all of his fellow inmates and hospital staff? It’s that goddamned silver shamrock mask, I tell you. He didn’t have it, podcasters gave it to him, he decides to escape. It gets burned up and he loses his power. It’s the mask. The mask is his power. 😝

I agree with Jay 💯

I would have settled with Corey finding Myers dead body and takes the mask from him, but MM wakes up and goes after Corey. I’d have taken that over Corey beating Mickey up and taking it from him. Especially when Michael doesn’t really end up killing him and taking it back.

I watched Ends once and that was more than enough.lol

Micheal didn’t kill him right away because he looked into his eyes and saw himself

I had never watched it until today , I actually loved the movie . I give it a solid 8. I believe after the bridge accident with Corey he somehow became a imprint , like a assistant of Michael like a extension and that’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥 .watching him was like watching Michael without a mask and with that, I feel like ends should have made it known that Michael could do what ever power like sigh he did in the film earlier on. But overall it was a 8 for me

I agree Cory should've been introduced in Halloween 2018 fleshed out his character his development turning evil

I'm with J on this one. I actually enjoyed Ends more the second time I've watched it but I still think it's the weakest out of this trilogy because it doesn't even feel like a logical continuation from where Kills left off. If they wanted to explore Lauries trauma in 2018, the towns trauma in Kills and how it all affected future generations in Ends, they really should have focused on Allyson as the main character instead of having her as a love interest in a forced as f*ck relationship. It could have been such an interesting trilogy about how random acts of violence affect people for generations. But instead they did... this. I get some of it and enjoy some of the scenes. Think the acting is good, the music is fantastic. But it is just so poorly executed. I still enjoy this one more than some other Halloween movies but it's still such a dissapointment since I loved 2018 and Kills so much more.

I STAND BY THAT MOVIE 100%

I was wondering where the vid went? Lol! It's back now! Yeah Halloween Ends wasn't the best of this trilogy. But had some cool kills!

As a stand alone movie this would still be insanely bad. Nothing made sense, Michael was a bitch, Cory was annoying. I was in shock how bad it was. Like the movie ended and I just sat there

NOIICE!!!

Hair Bear Mike!.. I won't that cut clip on a loop!..🤬

Halloween Kills was the best Halloween movie ever IMO. At least it gave us what we want which is Michael killing and killing brutally. This movie did none of that...

All year you tell mom and dad you want a gaming system for Christmas. Mom and dad say we hear you, and you’ll be so excited when you see what you get! Christmas Day comes and you find a cool Zed longboard under the tree. It’s a cool board, but it’s not what was asked for or agreed on. Plus, mom and dad know you’re a street skater and this isn’t even a Christian Hosoi. Nothing wrong with the longboard, but it is now a double-fail to meet expectations. That’s Ends.

I’ll agree with anyone that the ending and Michael’s screen time was stupid, but I still love this movie. I honestly feel like it’s the one time DGG’s message about society was done well. The Boy Harsher song Burn It Down - Rework is a stupidly good song too for the soundtrack

It’s like they just said fuck it and shitted on Michael throughout the whole movie and made whatever they wanted and thought it was gonna work when it wasn’t

I'm with Mike on this one. I actually enjoy it as a standalone movie, Corey is great and its shot well with some good kills. But as a concluding movie to the recent trilogy it just doesn't make sense. In KILLS he was getting more powerful with every kill, and he killed a lot. In ENDS they hint that he's been killing whilst he's been in the sewers. So why is he weak and why has he been in there for 4 years with no explanation? They could of wrote anything for a reason on how Corey gets Michael's mask, but they chose THAT way. I hope one day we will get some information on what was going on behind the scenes and what was Malek's and Blumhouse's reaction when they saw the first cut.

I really dig this movie.

The Corey/Allison plotline can work in its own movie, but not in Halloween. And certainly not in the final movie of a Halloween trilogy. This movie pissed me off. They made Michael a punk, gave him a sidekick who gets all the screentime. Laurie's not acting like herself, Allison isn't acting like herself, Michael's not acting like himself. And a terrible final fight to boot. Fuck this movie.

I honestly loved this movie it was really good

At least Ends had a cast that could actually act unlike over half of the so called actors in 2018 and Kills. That alone would be enough for me to choose Ends but it also has the best character (Corey) and I would even say the best score.

They should’ve called “Ends” The Cory Cunningham Project (Ft. Laurie & Michael) I agree with you both that Halloween 2018 is a real tasty treat. Easily my favourite since the OG gangsta shit. Kills was a bloody good time, some whacky characters and “Evil Dies Tonight!” aside, I really dug it! Ends was a mess. Jay is spot on that Cunningham should’ve been introduced in Kills. Just really jarring how his story took up 70% of the film. Shame cos the actual Michael and Laurie stuff was great. Just wasn’t enough of it. Halloween 2018 - 8.5 Kills - 7.5 Ends - 6

Rip Zordon

For me even halloween resurrection has a spot in my heart but Ends left me so disappointed, and st the very least they couldve introduced corey in one of the other 2 movies. Maybe not even a big part but just have him present, maybe even have the accident with the kid happen sometime during kills

While I don’t like the movie, I think Rohan Campbell had a believable character and had good screen presence. Honestly, I like him more than Laurie. lol. He was also so cool at the horror hound I went to. Really appreciative for the role, seemed like a genuine and funny guy. James Jude Courtney on the other hand came off as pretty strange in a new age hippie kind of way. Which is fine, but he kept going back to these life lessons that he said he brought to the role, which to me at least seemed like they didn’t relate or random. lol

If Micheal had killed half the people in the junkyard and the radio station, and after Micheal killed Corey's mother, Corey went after Laurie; and, Micheal snapped and mutilated Corey. Then, like in the book, the fight goes longer, and it takes us to the Myers Memorial where Laurie gets saved by Allison. Then, the movie wouldn't have been half bad. Corey never takes the mask, and Micheal cleans up the mess of Corey by people who would have escaped in the junkyard and radio station.

Halloween Ends was the Christine remake. Would’ve been so much better with some things that were in the novel. Michael was in the book a lot more and the story felt more fleshed out.
