I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that thought it was all over for Laurie when they played that little montage of their past when Michael was choking her 😂 I loved this movie, so different but so good
@@BRIDGECO1 Absolutely! I was ready for something offbeat and different and David Gordon Green did just that. Alot of fans will carp but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Plus, it was filmed in Savannah, Georgia (where I grew up), so I was playing “Hey, I know that area/place!” in the theater! 😂 The spot where the father of the babysat kid saw Corey walking is like a five minute walk from my first job at age 17 in 1998 at a now long-closed two screen theater in a now-pretty much dead shopping center (Garden City, Georgia).
@@BRIDGECO1 Agreed! I honestly thought they’d die together. But then thought 💭 t wouldn’t make sense because they’re not supposed to be connected.. Atleast not what they told us in Kills…. I enjoyed this movie a lot!
Cody is clearly the one friend you can't take to the movies unless you've already seen the movie once cause he's gonna be that guy who states, "Lizard looks like a Goomba" in the heat of an emotional Spider-Man scene and make you laugh out loud so that everyone in the theater turns and labels you a psycho.
I'm glad you guys loved it. My wife and I saw it at the theatre last Saturday and we loved it. It was so different and the actor who played Corey knocked it out of the park. I love this movie. Great reaction you guys.
Honestly Michael's condition here makes a lot more sense if you think of his final killing spree in Kills as him running on adrenaline or a second wind, and then the beating he took reaaaaaaaaaaally took a toll on him.
34:38 I liked it too. My only issues were Corey's motivations for some of his kills just being that he was bullied a bit and there should have been more Michael scenes.
Right I get that! But that’s also to me where some bit of supernatural feeling came in, he connected with Michael and as Laurie was alluding in the beginning “let evil in”. I like the concept, would’ve been a little better had they built it up over the 3 movies but I still appreciated something fresh feeling. As an individual movie, it’s sucks there’s not more Michael, but it also works in context of the story they made. I know people hate seeing Michael so clearly weak tho (but again, that fact makes Halloween Kills ending and all a bit more impactful to me, cause they really did mess Mikey up at the end there before he massacred them all 😂)
@@BRIDGECO1 I didn't mind weaker Michael. It made sense given the beatings he took in 2018 and Kills. And people forget that in the original he was superhuman and hard to kill but could be hurt and killed. It was only really the 4-6 continuity that overexaggerated him into being supernarural.
@@bklynkat23 Yeah. But still literally god damn insane he was still alive after a throat slit, stabbed in the Lungs, had his leg broken, arm snapped. Like damn bitch just die already. My god. I won't be surprised if he survived the meat grinder at this point.
Definitely should have been more Michael. He had 10 minutes 11 seconds screen time. At the end when Laurie had him pinned to the table, she very clearly said “and you’re just a man” before she killed him, alluding to the fact that he is just human with no supernatural element. Makes zero sense.
We enjoyed the hell out of this movie! Glad to see you guys shared the same experience! It felt like Christine meets The Lost Boys, with a taste of Joker and a dash of Halloween!
I absolutely loved it. It was weird. Different. Yet still so damn good and treated Michael with how he’d really be after all the damage he took in Kills. Going again tonight
I LOVED this movie. I was FASCINATED with Corey and the relationship he oddly had with Michael. I felt like the real Corey came back in the end and tried to stop Michael and that's why he killed him. It was a solid film that told the story of the impacts of trauma VERY WELL. As for Allysons arc....trauma stunts your growth and sets you back. You get stuck. Her true arc came at the end when she finally left Haddonfield. She was able to move on. It was beautifully done.
I walked out of this movie feeling I just watched something refreshing but also confused. After a second watch I actually enjoy this movie and the chances they took. It would have been much better as a stand alone side story or a anthology movie only focusing on Cory.
The relationship between Michael and Corey very much reminded me of a syndrome called, "Folie a deux." There was a case of this in twin sisters not too long ago who shared a psychotic break and in turn fed each other delusions. Sabine and Ursula I think. One was well adjusted with a family while the other had mental problems. They had been apart for years but when together one duplicated the other's actions almost by instinct. In their case one was more the "receiver" which Corey reminded me of. Great reaction, I liked this movie.
The Corey character was beyond stupid, it was NOT needed, the character of Lindsay should have been center to the movie, Allison was just as annoying as she was in the last 2 films A HUGE LETDOWN TO THE FANS
@@swolfe9668 fr bro whoever enjoyed this film honestly needs to watch all Halloween films to understand why it made no sense made a character Corey have the most st to die and Michael was nerfed heavy after killing 60 people last film Yh nice one blumhouse
@@kyleb7011 just because someone likes a movie that you dislike doesn't mean they lack some sort of fundamental understanding of the franchise. people are allowed to disagree with you, it doesn't make them ~fake fans~ or whatever, it's just a movie
I loved this trilogy and this one showed the way trauma can change a person big time and this new character represented when one lets evil overtake them while Laurie and others chose the opposite and rise above it while still dealing with it cause it never really goes away. ✌🧡🎃 Made sense that evil's human vessel was aging along with Laurie so it was waiting to just rot till someone that evil was consuming them disturbed it.
@@derfuhrer3345 Storytelling wise, yeah probably, and not enough michael scenes yes. But that's really all of it and everything else I enjoyed it. I wanna here your opinion tho on why you say it sucked without saying any reason. Probably the reason is "it's not Michael Myers, he's not suppose to be weak asf and I don't like Corey I want Michael and Laurie fight each other" and that's it.
I think this was a nice movie. Only things that pissed me a bit are: 1) Weird scene jumping 2) Allyson is done a bit dirty like Cody said 3)Everyone blaming Laurie and Allyson The opening and the final fight were perfect and awesome
No one but the cops and strodes know that all the more reason why it's weird that Allison blames her but traumatized ppl don't think rationally I guess lol
My one and only issue about the movie is it felt like Myers was a bit of a background character. I'm not upset with him dying the guy was pushing 70 and got beaten pretty badly last movie so he's not what he once was. I enjoyed it but do feel like they could've done more. 7.3/10
Guys, after all the negativity surrounding this movie, your video was awesome! They way you broke down the whole film with your reactions in real time was awesome to see. I myself enjoyed it. It was different, no great but unique. My only gripes would be I wish they didn’t have that wrestling match and Cory didn’t donn the mask. Also, I wish Hawkins would have got his redemption and put a bullet it myers head in the kitchen. But all in all I’m very pleased with the conclusion of the H40 timeline. Solid video guys!
Not sure about everyone else but I personally enjoyed Cory's character and where they took him, reminds me of the psychiatrist that in first one in 2018 that took Michael's mask and wanted to know how it felt to take a life. Other than that this movie was not what I expected.
@@kadeemjones30 i agree, they should have established that sooner, even though it was a gradual change over time for him turning psychotic, in one movie still feels a little rushed, felt like the message was mostly that anyone can become michael?
@@antisocial904 i did too at first but when they stared at each other, Idk it seemed like they somehow linked in some way, I took it as they both are one in the same, they are alike , and im guessing Cory embraced that.
Let me say this, I really did love this movie. With that said, I have some questions as it pertains to what the director, I think of the first one, said when they were planning other ones after this. Main question: what is going to be the main story line now for more possible movies given what we know happened in this one? At the very end of the movie, I hope people picked up on two main things that could pertain to future projects. One: The very last line of Strode's book she was writing. "Evil never dies, it just takes a different shape." and the last movie frame of the book writing room and on the table in the middle of the room is Michael Myer's undestroyed mask.
loved this movie definitely!! The fight with Laurie and Michael was epic, but like u said, it should've been a little longer. I thought Cody & Michael were gonna team up at first, really didn't expect him to kill Cody😔 he was a very strong character tho, really enjoyed him.
Again, I actually liked this film. Cause David wanted to show just how far a once, regular citizen, can become infected with the evil that infected Michael since he was 6.
This movie really made me cry when I seen Michael having a hard time and withering away not his usual can't kill me. Idk this movie just broke my heart. Lol yes I know it's stupid
YES! I absolutely loved this movie. Future cult classic. I thought it was a beautiful unique conclusion to this trilogy. Time will be very kind to this movie.
“Mom shut up, Jesus “ lmao I just came across y’all’s page and thought I’d give y’all A chance. I’m sold. Y’all are great!! Can’t wait to see some of your other
I just saw it too and thought it was fantastic, and very brave with their original approach. I feel like this is the “Season of the Witch” for this new trilogy-some will love it, some will hate it I loved it though
I think about the state of Michael. Initially he's institutionalized for 15 years. He breaks out and spends a few days killing. Then, he's caught again and locked up for 40 years. Given 3 squares, some sunlight, a bed. Then, he breaks out again. And while he does a lot of killing, he is seriously messed up. Set on fire, has 2 fingers cut off, shot and beaten by an angry mob. But instead of getting caught again, fixed up and going back to getting taken care of, he's been living in a sewer for 4 years, without receiving medical attention. Of course he's going to be a bit weak. I think they handled Michael perfectly in this film.
Michael was pathetic in 90% of the film, a huge letdown, allowing a brand new character(Corey) to dominate the last film beyond stupid A huge slap in the face to long time fans
I'm very happy that you liked the movie, I found this different approach interesting, I loved the characters, and the final battle between Michael and Laurie was simply epic, evil died tonight
I'm really glad that you guys enjoyed the movie. I saw it last night and I love it Alot, my only complaint is there wasn't enough Michael. Laurie was great, Corey was awesome and Allison was damn good. Overall I give it a 4.5/5.🔪🎃🖤
I liked it! It was a new take on the franchise. I liked how they tied everything in with a new character. Some plot holes but they created new plots to cover them. I also don’t mind slow storylines if the kills are worth it. Great reaction!
It was stupid, the whole Corey character storyline Had nothing to do with the franchise, it should have been Lindsay and Laurie fighting him back at the Doyle house
I love this movie! Wasnt a typical Michael Myers killfest but I loved the storyline and the gags they did have were awesome! Loved y'all's reaction, glad you liked it
I personally enjoyed the movie thoroughly. I think too many people watched so much of the marketing material for this movie and formulated in their heads exactly how they thought the movie would end. I'm glad that this movie subverted expectations and surprised the hell out of me. Even down to the music at the beginning of the movie. I remember I was in the theater and I literally jumped because the music just surprised the hell out of me.
Couldn't agree more, and this is coming from an OG Halloween uber fan. So glad we didn't get another scenario of MM doing the same thing he's been doing for the last 40 years. This was a perfect way to end the current trilogy imo.
I feel the connection Myers and Cory had was a call back to The Cult of Thorn from Halloween 6. I personally loved it as well, I was worried because of all the negative things being said about it.
This one was so different from the rest of the franchise. The acting this time around was so good. Jamie Lee Curtis gave a stellar performance. The fact that this was the last we saw of Laurie Strode.. She truly came full circle. Corey Cunningham was a well-written character, but because of him, Michael Myers was totally sidelined. The opening was haunting and I truly enjoyed it. The ending sequence with the final fight was so powerful. It should've just been longer. At least thrice as long. The last 15 minutes I had tears pouring down my cheeks all the way until the end credits. Those were tears of happiness, sadness and bitterness of how they finally killed Michael Myers. When they killed off Karen in the last movie, the same thing happened to me. Being a diehard fan of the franchise, I will go watch Halloween Ends at least 3 more times. Happy early Halloween! 🎃
I liked the movie, but it doesn’t feel deserving of being “Halloween Ends”. It was Correy with all the screen time. & he had 12 kills in total to Michael’s 3. This movie was expected to be a personal battle to be settled with between Laurie & Michael. That was the main plot of this trilogy. So, this movie just feels out of place. But, I still enjoyed it.
Fair point. Homeless man said he’d drag people in sewer, but that was probably just to barely keep himself from just dying off. I know tons of people would’ve been happier if he was just rampaging again like in Kills but then had the final battle with Laurie, I enjoyed the story arc they formed tho!
So glad you both liked it! In a sea of negative reviews, it's fun to see some positive ones. I liked the film quite a bit, though I had some legit criticisms at times.
While I wasn't a huge fan of the story, the kills were fantastic, the tongue was so creative and will haunt my brain forever. The end with the town finally getting rid of Michael was excellent.
A lot of people are complaining that the final fight between Laurie & Michael is really short, but the thing is that both of them are in their sixties. They're just too damn old to go all out.
Through 4 years since Michael last beating really took the pain him, even tho the last movie was a lot killing. Also expected the ending be more continuous but enjoyed it 🎃
Idk if it's just me but Micheal in this movie looked weak being over power by a regular person after being this unstoppable monster in kills it's kinda sad
Only thing that explains it is he became weak due to age until he gained his strength again with having another person take over his kills, like he gained his powers back for the final fight with Laurie. I’m just guessing though lol
The way I see it, it’s the “Evil” finally rejecting Michael and moving on into Corey. Thought the team up kills with him and Michael was a cool and original touch
This did not feel like it connected to the David Gordon Green films, there are parts that felt like David Lynch directed it, like Haddonfield was Twin Peaks, then it changes styles again and could have been directed by Rob Zombie, and so on, it was such a swing and I respect those choices. Also, it felt like Jason Goes To Hell and Christine, such a wild finale that will take time to examine and become appreciated.
I think the one thing that got missed or just went over everyone’s head here is Laurie said in Halloween 2018 “Michael is a human being and we need to understand.” That being said, anyone can attach any lure to explain Michael: the more he kills, the more he transcends, he’s a little kid trapped in a grown man’s body and he has superhuman strength and “You can’t kill the bogey man” and evil dies tonight and all of that but evil is a possession that takes over a body when the person gives up spiritually or the spirit is weak. We don’t need Michael explained or what motivates him. This was The Curse of Michael Myers, how his evil can change form and someone else can be effected by that. Michael in this is already in his 60’s, the four years he was in hiding was because he didn’t have his house to go home to that gave him his power and he took a helluva beating in Halloween Kills. All of that factors in and this is the Michael we are left with. This may not be every fan’s story they would tell but the creators thought this was the best way to end Michael and Laurie can live out her days without living in fear and looking over her shoulder. I liked its it’s not perfect but it didn’t suck and definitely not the worst horror movie I’ve seen. Thank you for your thoughts and your opinions. You rock!
Definitely watch The Thing, saw at the theater in 82 a magical time going to the movies every week something good, still my favorite Halloween movies are Halloween 3 and Rob zombies version, thanks again!
Really glad to see you guys loved this so much! I went in with really low expectations and feeling a little deflated by the reviews and online word of mouth and I loved this movie. Oddly, reminded me of John Carpenter's Christine a lot.
@@scottwarnick5126 For this saga it is the end. If you’re expecting something next October for a new Halloween movie that will be years or decades later in the future, but no time soon. This Michael Myers is dead and gone until they decide to reboot the series up with a newer story focused around the new generation and protagonist.
Why wasn't Lindsay shown in the procession at the end? Hell they even showed that kid Julian from Halloween 2018 but no Lindsay? Did they show her and I missed it?
People are split down the middle some people like this movie and some people didn't like it so I don't know it's crazy and thanks I haven't seen the movie yet but I'll hopefully see it tomorrow anyway great review and god bless

She was the last one to have the Myers Jedi mind control, after the homeless guy and Corey, so maybe they are hinting that she has taken on part of his soul / evil 🤷🏻♂️
I liked the movie for the most part. Only issue is that they didn't make the power gap between Cory and Michael big enough. It felt a little disrespectful to Michael Myers. I would've also liked if they ended the film in a way that had us questioning if Michael is really gone.(I know it's a bit overplayed)
I felt Ends is like rise of skywalker. They tried to change a whole bunch of established things from 2018 and kills, and sidelining the main act most of the movie didn’t help.
I'm shocked the black woman that took the light bulb 2 the neck lived. My dude from the Halloween 18 should of been a larger character since they killed off Tommy
Corey killing that doctor like how billy was killing people in black Christmas one of them billy in the remake or the last one lol. Yeah Corey feeling it lol. This reminds me of that last candyman where people has their own version of what happened. Their own stories. Different urban legends lol
Both this one and Halloween 6 raised so many questions instead of giving answers, like Michael was already pretty supernatural in 4 and 5, but 6 took it to a whole new level, and the same thing here, how Michael and Corey got linked somehow. Also, side note, Ronald is supposed to be Corey's uncle.
