"Halloween 2018 _is_ Halloween Ends to me." I'm so glad I'm not alone in this. We didn't need a trilogy, we just needed one solid film with well-written characters, fun kills, and some semblance of decent suspense. Michael died in that fire, nuff said.
To be fair, Halloween kills pretty much does take place on November 1st lol.. there's a scene at the bar in town where you can see a guys phone reading that it's midnight at that point.
I swear to god that Ryan is gonna make that his pitch meeting for this movie now lol "So you got a Halloween sequel for me?" "Yes sir I do." "Ohhh fantastic so what happens in this thing?" "So it starts off FOUR YEARS after the last one-" "wait what?" "Oh yeah time jump baby!" "But why?" "Because" "Oh okay then." "Yeah so 4 years go by and this guy was suspected of killing someone he babysat right." "Ohhh are we getting into like Michael Myers' backstory here?" "No." "What?" "No this is someone else entirely." "Why?" "Well sir, I was writing a script for a completely different movie, and kinda got bored with that, and then I started writing the script for Halloween Ends then I realized I just had the ENDING to the movie so I just...merged them together." "Huh."
I agree. Even though I don’t care too much for 2018, I have to admit that climax was way more satisfying and should have ended there. I really love that last shot of Michael looking up at 3 generations of the Strodes knowing he is defeated as the flames begin to engulf him. IMO that image and feeling behind it is one of the best visuals from the whole franchise.
“Halloween 2018 is Halloween Ends for me.” YES, really wish they didn’t draw up a full on trilogy out of this, it just didn’t feel necessary beyond 2018. Fantastic ending btw Jeremy lmaooo
I look at 2018 the same way I look at The Force Awakens; A film that should’ve been a simple fun one and done movie with no follow ups. However because of those follow ups it kind of dilutes that initial film for me a little bit.
@@Butwhythough881 Yeah, but the force awakens just felt like a glorified new hope. I mean I'll take it over the other two, but I'd still rather watch a new hope at the end of the day.
I love the town bullies are members of the local high school marching band. The guy with the drumstick trying to act like people should find him intimidating had me laughing my @$$ off every time he was on the screen
Me and my friend who were all in Highschool band were laughing so hard when we saw the local band nerds being all tough (as we all hated band by our Junior/Senior years) and especially when they died.
The first one is still the best. You get the backstory, the iconic escape, the stalking at the school. He doesn't seem immortal, just a deranged killer out to kill Laurie and her friends. He's become Jason Voorhees as the series went on.
Basically. And this film essentially ruins the twist of the last film as well. It made it seem like a big deal that all of a sudden Michael Myers had supernatural abilities. And while yes there are technically moments in Ends that can come across as supernatural, it didn’t really feel like anyone treated it as a big deal. Micheal Myers being supernatural seemed like an afterthought
That's the problem though. Michael Myers is the OG. They should have left him alone. Halloween came out 1978. Friday the 13th 1980.... but now they've watered him down so much people will think Jason is the OG. Should have just left the franchise alone
Because 2018 they actually gave a fuck and was inspired, they made Kills because 2018 Halloween was such a hit they company wanted more, and Ends is a mess because they changed their original plan to fit in some covid message
They didn’t even have a clue on what the sequels would be, Kills they just rehashed Halloween 2 but made Michael into Jason and in End they made it up along the way while filming.
Allyson's character was completely unbelievable, no one talks and acts like that. This movie is a crime against film. Felt like a straight to video director fell into a coma in the 90s and woke up now and decided to write a Halloween movie before fully recovering.
The fact that she was biting her lip so much the moment she saw the guy was so cringe. The actors had some chemistry, but the plot made no sense. I thought Halloween Kills was bad, but wow. This movie was hot garbage.
@@advancedstupidity5459 her character was a little cringe . Too obvious, too heavy-handed... she was likable, and the chemistry worked, but the wrong movie was picked for this story.
Are you kidding? It doesn't even take place in Haddonfield. We're supposed to believe Michael magically knew how to drive from IL to CA? SO fucking stupid.
Yes, especially the part where Busta Rhymes does a stupid karate kick to Michael Myers, all while making stupid karate movie noises the whole time, which was hilarious, but I'm surprised he didn't get killed off immediately afterwards. Still stupid, still hilarious.
@@danh.5998 Was it? Sorry, if I got those 2 confused, but, to be honest, I've only seen like, H20, and I think Resurrection, so yeah, I think I may have seen the 2 worst Halloween movies possible, so I may have just gotten a bad first impression of the series. But i think you're right, and it may have actually been Resurrection where Busta Rhymes kicks Michael out of a window, if I'm wrong, sorry. I'm not a huge scary movie or Halloween movie fan, I just really wanted to see what Jeremy had to say, and plus, my best friend kept talking about how much she wanted to see the movie, so I at least had to see what one of my favorite reviewers(Jeremy Jahns), had to say about it.
My favorite part of Halloween kills was the new footage of loomis and the first original night. I really was hoping for much more of something like that
I agree showing more of the original Halloween was spot on. Really wish we got more of that. Also sucks that this movie had no pay off with the old sheriff getting a shot in on Michael. Would have brought his story full circle.
The fact that a character in the movie says something like “oh imagine if Laurie was sleeping with Michael” there was a line like that and it just seems that was the pitch from the writers when they sat down for filling in a plot
I know and I'm to the point where I do not even want to go to the theaters anymore because it's overpriced and I leave feeling ripped off because of these directors and writers! I hate these times we are in😔
Here's what I think happened. I honestly think they were setting up Corey as Michael's successor. We were getting the origin story of the next Boogeyman. They couldn't renew the rights so they changed the script. I'm thinking they were setting up Laurie's granddaughter and Corey clashing. It just reeks of studio interference if you ask me in that regard.
Did you find(as I did)...Micheal had been turned into a GERIATRIC- incapable of fighting off Cory(the town wimp) and 60yr old Laurie. Is this the same Michael Myers from the last movie who was unstoppable. Then was it me or does this film nod to the IT film, as the bad guy was hiding down a sewer the whole time. Then is it too much of a stretch to see the accidental child killer, befriend Laurie, date her granddaughter...to then slowely become exactly as Michael is and as the town was accusing him of being(a killer) The whole film to me, seems laughably bad for a FINALE of such a loved franchise. With the main antagonist reduced to such a pathetic figure, to be thrown by the town in a shredder....just alittle disappointing in such a crucial film to end things on. Or is it just me with this opinion?!
100% agree, they made Michael look old when Corey took his make off and I thought it was like a passing of the touch sort of things until the end, where they could renew the rights and was like fuck it
Pretty sure I’m the only person on the planet right now that thought ends was the best of the 3. I felt so much Christine and lost boys, although unique in it own way
@@johnny05100 You definitely the only one that feels this way because I just watched it and without a doubt can say Halloween Ends is a dogshit ass movie
Can’t wait for when he’s still reviewing movies with a full head of lucious silver hair and a 3 foot long braded beard and a cane with unknown symbols scratched into it.
Honestly I didn't mind it. It was fun to watch. The only thing that felt off was how quickly it went from two misunderstood people pairing up to "Let's burn down this town and run away together." It was so rushed and weird how chill she was seeing him turn into a murderer.
The only timeline really that works is Halloween 78’, Halloween II 81’, and then H20 in 98’. That is a storyline where we see Laurie go through all the trauma but 20 years later she is actively trying to move on in her life. Yes she still has flashes of Michael, but she actually moves out of town, changes her name, becomes a teacher, has a son, etc. And it actually has a badass ending where she kills him! In these new movies they try to do that same thing but try to pass it off as “different” and “more realistic.” In Halloween 18’ she’s apparently so scarred from the events of 40 years ago that she never moved from Haddonfield, her own daughter hates her, and she is a weird, off-brand Sarah Conner. She complained about her only being in a hospital bed in Halloween II, but yet in Halloween Kills she’s also in a hospital bed for most of the run time giving these Loomis lines about how Michael is brute force and you can’t kill him 🤦🏽♂️. DGG & Blumhouse swear they really did something with this trilogy when really they tried things that have been done before and were executed way better. Btw my favorite is of course the original.
If J Carpenter says that Halloween II 81' is stupid and non cannon because he never wanted a sequel let alone Michael to be Laurie's brother then that's how it is! It's either 78' alone, 78'-H20 or 78'-2018 with the flashbacks of "Kills", period. Watch "Kills" for the Slasher flick it is and forget about "Ends"
@@MillerHammer have you seen the new movies? John carpenters opinion can kiss my ass lol. Make your own , there’s like 3 time lines . Or just make one up with the movies that are out lol.
I actually always look at 1,2, and 4 as a great Halloween trilogy. I wish H20 didn’t erase 4, they could’ve said that she faked her death or something lol.
I attempted to see this movie twice. Once late at night and I slept through. Figured I was tired. Second I attempted to watch in the middle of the day, again slept through. 10/10 recommended
Halloween ends was exactly like you described… I forgot I was watching a Halloween movie for the first hour smh. My favorite is the original 🙌🏽 Long Live Michael Myers 💪🏽
This review was spot on! The whole movie me and my sister were sitting in confusion like "wtf is this?" and "why is Michael teaming up with this guy?" Since when does Michael hide out in sewers like Pennywise? The 2018 movie was great! I don't know how they managed to screw this movie up.
The moment he mentioned that 'this movie is not what the trailer claimed it would be', I had to stay on. Because who puts Myers on the bench in a film called 'Halloween Ends'
Seems like they tried to pull a Rian Johnson with “subverting expectations” with about the same results. 😕 They had the perfect casting for The Shape for this trilogy, too. What a shame.
Halloween Ends - Could have been a perfect way to end one story line and start another. I thought it would have been great to see Micheal finally be laid to rest and Corey taking over the Halloween franchise. But they never built on this in early movies. Also this film feels like season of the Witch and Revenge of Michael Myers in one film.
@@MadlosPictureHouse FR, when the credits popped up I sat there for like 10 seconds in straight sadness 💀 shit that promo for the movie MEGAN was better
I couldn't take "Kills" seriously after the scene of the mob going for Michael for them just to stand there and basically watch as he took the mob out one by one.. like wtf? 🤣
@@someoneout-there2165 You probably are that one superhero that always jumps in when someone gets attacked or robbed right? Thought so. They were frozen in fear, that's a thing. Not sure if you would attack a guy who recovered from a fat stab to the back and multiple gunshots.
Thank you for the real synopsis of the movie. I’m still going to see it but I would’ve been really disappointed if I showed up and didn’t see Micheal until literally the last act, AS A TWIST!
Same I saw it with my parents brother and his GF and we all enjoyed it. I know this trilogy isn’t for everyone but I loved this trilogy a lot and will always remember it for being good and cool to me
Just came back from the theatre. It was a nice way to finish off the requel trilogy. Glad they changed it up like they did....it seemed like the story was a little all over the place.... good point about not expecting what you saw in the trailer. I like how it ..... ended. I will see myself out.
For me, honestly, it was the opposite. I enjoyed it because I was expecting Michael to be chasing down Laurie for 90 minutes, which just sounded boring. Having it actually focus on a new fleshed out character, and tying it all together, really worked for me.
SPOILER ngl I dont even think the fight itself was good. Micheal used to be very hard to defeat and in 2018 they showcased that in a very long, hard, well planned fight. But in this she literally just 1v1 him and won. Rly dissapointing ending btw (also what was that random parade and crowd surf in the end to throw him into that machine??)
Sure I guess I think it deserved to have a trilogy because we get to have more Michael Myers screen time and see more gruesome kills. If 2018 ended there we would not have the stuff we have now With Myers that’s what I think and like about this new trilogy even if people don’t like it I do. Guess that’s just me
The only way I think it could have had a real chance at a trilogy that was at least decent was if the three films all took place within the span of the same day or week.
This film actually made me appreciate Halloween Kills even more. Because at least in that one, Michael’s constantly in there doing the kills. Not some Michael wannabe.
I feel like this film’s biggest flaw was that in so many ways it feels detached from the last two films. It’s set a few years later, there’s an all new character who wasn’t in the other two yet is given a lot of focus, the Micheal vs Laurie conflict is ignored until the last few minutes, and most of the side characters seem so complacent with being big assholes (even though that was meant to be the lesson the townspeople learned in the last film).
@@CoOlKyUbI96 Exactly! I will say though, the conclusion was extremely satisfying! I don't think I ever seen a horror franchise end it the way this one did.
@@JosephDutra dam we have two different views I thought the ending sucked ass to put out one of the biggest horror icons ever like that was horrible and he’s barley in the movie (and when he is in the movie he’s getting bitched around :/)
@@adolfolopez3575 I can understand that. But the fact they made sure they he was 1000% percent dead really did it for me. A lot times that doesn’t happen in slasher horror films.
Alternative movie plot: it’s been 4 years, Laurie has been hunting Micheal by following unsolved murders in the surrounding area of haddonfield. Laurie connects a string of murders that fit Micheal M/O. She follows the clues till she figure out Micheal is heading home for Halloween. In the years since Micheal has become a crime icon (movies and docs about his crimes are mainstream, he is glorified as “the most prolific serial killers”) and is the popular costume this Halloween, everyone wants to dress up as Micheal. Halloween night begins and Micheal begins his rampage by killing a imposter Micheal and taking his mask to blend in. Laurie finds Allison (she has been trying to move on since the death of her parents) she tells Laurie that some college kids are throwing a Micheal myers party/haunted house at the myers house. Micheal is already there rampaging through the house. Partygoers don’t know what’s real or fake (many people are dressed as Micheal) Laurie and Allison confront Micheal there for a climatic battle. Laurie and Micheal stab each other multiple times, Allison gets knocked out by Micheal. Micheal starts to overpower Laurie, as Micheal is strangling Laurie Allison stabs him in the back, freeing Laurie they over power him together and continue to stab him until he is a bloody mess. The camera cuts to micheals pov (same as the beginning of the first movie when he murdered his sister) and you see Laurie and Allison continuing to stab him as his breathing and vision slowly fades to black Roll credits
Simple, straight to the point slasher, with a The Thing style paranoia, brilliant! Not very deep, but Kills and Ends tried way too hard to be dramas and that's why they fail! The original Halloween is a very simple slasher movie and that's all we wanted to see (but with new unique twists and turns) 👏👏👏
1,2 and 4 for me. It’s funny how H20 erased 4 and Halloween (2018) erased H2. The next Laurie strode Halloween will erase the original if hey keep this up lol
I think Jeremy should now actually start delving into the possibility to enter the movie making business and start in whatever capacity that suits him best…script writer, cinematographer, assistant director, screen-player eventually going on to become a director and producer. He has so much talent and understanding of the business which I guess even the people in industry don’t have !
@@onlyme219 Yeah, I agree with both you and the dude above your comment; because Jeremy has been entertaining us with amazingly done and well edited and hilarious videos for years, with the same-ish jacket, and has been hitting it out of the park, each and every single time, like how does he do that? It's awesome, just saying.
Halloween Ends was a big let-down and a sorry excuse to end the Halloween saga. Why was Michael hiding in the sewers like Pennywise? Why was Michael so weak? At the end of Halloween Kills, after Michael kills like half the town, it’s hinted that he gains strength the more he kills. Did they drop this plot? And even if they did drop it, that doesn’t explain why he hides in the sewers for 4 years. Michael only kills 2 people in this movie, Allyson’s cop ex and the ginger nurse. Is that the lowest kill count Michael has had in a Halloween movie? Corey was just awful, not a compelling villain. I didn’t feel sympathetic for him, he was just a wimp. Also, the bullying he went through was really over-the-top.They ruined Allyson’s character and turned her into a stereotypical, grief-struck, troubled, young lovebird, when in the previous two films she’s shown to be much stronger than that. Did the director of this movie have a fetish for Andi Matichak’s hands? Granted, they’re pretty hands, there were several close-up, lingering shots of them, which was really fucking weird. So after being established as the next villain and basically taking the place of Michael during this movie, Corey decides to kill himself…because Laurie said he can’t date Allyson? WTF? The epic, climactic battle, 44 years in the making…Laurie Strode vs. Michael Myers! The final duel lasts 30 seconds and Michael goes out wimpier than Corey. Again, WTF? Michael’s funeral procession scene was rushed and to be honest, a tad cringey. Why were so many of the kills cutaway kills? The previous two films did not shy away for showing the kills on-screen. Did this have something to do with Peacock not wanting the movie as gory? The final shot should have been Laurie and Allyson, not Laurie and her cop boyfriend.
Lol what? Correy didnt kill himself because of Laurie's objection. It was because Alyson was about to find out he was a serial killer and he didnt want to live without her. Also, Cory didnt even kill himself. It was Michael that finished him off. I also never felt that Alyson as a good character. All she did was cry and whimper 😂.
You're absolutely right about basically trying to bring together what should of been completely different movies. Not a good idea. Should of focused on the story and characters we actually know and care about, that obviously being Laurie and Michael.
I seriously thought “Halloween Ends” is just about how Michael Myers and Laurie Strode end their fight once and for all. But for some reason, this is about Corey killing people while Michael is staying in the shadows.
This new timeline has never been about Laurie strode vs. Michael Myers. It's always been the shape vs. haddenfield. Whenever Myers fights Laurie, it's because he's led there.
What a Let Down this movie was. I wanted an epic story of how Michael Survived the attack from the towns people in Halloween Kills!! What did we get? a movie that wasted 90% of the time talking about family issues, emotional drama, girlfriends, boyfriends, relationship problems... The trailer did the a good job of fooling the audience.. *DAMN* It was not that good... boring actually. 😴
My theory is that Danny McBride and David Green had a killer pitch for one, maybe two Halloween movies that could act as a definitive end to the story and then the studio told them to make it a trilogy so a whole bunch of uninteresting and seemingly unrelated stuff got shoved in to pad the runtime.
That's a good theory, but I remember them always promoting it as a trilogy. Maybe it was a bit of both. Since Kills, they definately showed they do not know how to handle Michael.
Danny McBride and David Green have no business DOING HORROR MOVIES! Danny is a comedian who his only claim to fame is I LOVE HALLOWEEN MOVIES! He doesn't write horror, he makes poor comedy.
You’re absolutely right. Halloween 2018 was the perfect redemption and definitive end to a franchise that had long worn out its welcome. Then they squeezed out two unnecessary sequels 🤷🏻♂️
SPOILER ALERT!!!!! Agreed! Halloween Kills woulda been a nice ending to the franchise had they actually killed Michael. The whole connection to the salvage yard, and the ending, where Michael's corpse is thrown into the car crusher, sending him into the netherworld, but for how long?????
When Halloween Ends ended, the first thing I said out loud was "I would rather watch Resurrection". I loath Resurrection. I will never watch Ends again
My go-to Halloween "trilogy" used to be Halloween, Halloween 2 (I like it, no idea why it gets so much shit these days), follwed up with Halloween H2O. Now I DO get why H20 get's so much shit, but I still dig it and I think it's a good capper to the original story. I never clicked with the Thorne stuff from 4, 5, and 6. So I thought it was ballsy to bring it back to Jamie Lee for the 20 year anniversary and it looekd like they ended it then. But... you know... that didn't really end there. And now here we are.
My thoughts on Halloween 2 (2009): I give props to Rob Zombie for taking everything he built up in Halloween--the good and the bad--and just burning it all down to the ground.
Why can’t we just get a remake of 78 as good as the flashback scene in Kills. By far that was the best time I’ve had seeing a Halloween movie in years.
About a year ago after watching Jeremy talk about something (I forget which movie it was) I saw this thumbnail in the recommended list and my first reaction was, "who is this kid trying to look like Jeremy?" And of course it was just Jeremy from 9 or 10 years ago.
The original Halloween is hard to top. A genuine classic of horror cinema. It's somewhat difficult to recapture the spirit of that film, because you can only show a knife wielding murderer terrorize people so many times until it becomes dull unless you do something extremely original or have some visual inventiveness.
@@Vladan_86 Nah, that Dr Sartain twist and them trying to say that he was the one that had Michael escape it's all corny and ruins the movie, the comedy does too with Julian, wrong part of the movie to do that. There's also other mistakes that jump this movie back behind Halloween 1, 2 and possibly 4.
They did this with the last movie, the marketing made it seem like the whole film WAS " Michael vs the city" and it technically has that stuff in it but it doesn't quite go where the marketing was leading on the surface.
Halloween 2018 will have a special place in my heart. I watched that movie at a time when I had moved yet again to another place. I was living in New Jersey and I remember seeing that movie around October when the leaves were starting to change and I hadn't seen that many Halloween movies then .so it was nice to see a Halloween movie in the actual theaters even though I saw it by myself. It was overall a great , enjoyable movie that did a great job capturing the essence of not just the Halloween movies but more then that, the feeling of fall time and October, which i always loved that feeling of that time of year living up North. Both in NJ and in my home state of Ohio. Glad that Jermany seems enjoy this movie more than last years one. I'll admit, "Halloween kills "was not the best Halloween mostly because of the hospital scenes , but I will say , that movie I think definitely had best iteration and look of Michael Myers. Every shot of him in that movie was incredible with the lightning and different scenes. Not to mention the kills where some of the most brutal.and I loved what they did with his mask .Im looking forward to seeing this new one !
This trilogy is more than about Laurie vs Michael but the town of Haddonfield dealing with trauma and healing from it along with how Michael's evil spreads around like a disease affecting those around him like with Dr. Sartain in H18, the town in Kills, and now with Corey in Ends. I love this trilogy and Ends is my favorite out of the three and my 2nd favorite in the series and it ended the Laurie vs Michael saga on a satisfying note for me. I also love how it pays respect on what John Carpenter wanted the series to be with focusing on different stories centered around Halloween and we got majority of that
Wait so you're telling me they pulled a Cars 2 where you know the guy in the front on the poster he's not the main character it's just another guy? That's honestly hysterical.
I was actually for the ride this movie put out. Ends felt more like a spiritual successor to John Carpenter's "Christine" and I appreciated it in that aspect. Rohan Campbell did a great job as Corey, he made it worth it! I mean if I were making a horror trilogy (or forced to do so), the final movie certainly wouldn't be where I experiment. Still, I dug the movie for being something different in the series. Michael was in it enough for me and I felt satisfied.
There's another character in the movie who just takes one look at Corey from afar and immediately believes him to be evil. You can tell when the writers were like, "I don't fucking know. Doesn't really make sense on the page, but hey, maybe the actor will figure it out?" And the actor is great, but no, the actor will not magically fix your bad writing and bad ideas.
This is exactly why retconning Halloween II was a stupid move on the writers' part. Them being siblings totally explained why Michael targeted Laurie in the first place.
Hi Jeremy, I just smiled & laughed at your pitch meeting Skit re Halloween Ends, I think you're hilarious!😄 However, while I understand your & others' similar views, I actually enjoyed the focus on poor Corey constantly being Bullied, & his blooming relationship w/Allison, and Sadly, his giving in to becoming an Evil murderer After his first strange encounter w/Michael Myers. So, overall I loved this movie & I found the ending fight between Laurie & Michael and Michael's Definite Death (finally for G-d's sake), very Satisfying.😊♥️
@@Butwhythough881 you mean you were disappointed that a movie about Michael Meyers and Laurie's final confrontation DIDN'T HAVE THEM FACE OFF UNTIL THE LAST 30 MINUTES
@@kalebhawkeyekj1933 Think broader. I mean the ending to the saga Laurie and MICHAEL MYERS, not an hour and a half of some Copycat killer that you can see coming a mile away and then having Michael slip in at the end to fight Laurie.
@@kalebhawkeyekj1933 I would rather have most of the movie or at least several parts throughout the runtime be instances of confrontation rather than just the very end but hey thats just me.
@@shadysorkin9214 Exactly! Have it be a similar case to Freddy vs Jason where you have at least 2-3 conflicts between Michael and Laurie throughout. This was a problem I had a bit with the 2018 film as well. Before the final conflict in that film, all we got in terms of prior conflicts was Laurie getting a potshot off Michael’s shoulder with a revolver.
Halloween H20 is still my favorite movie in the franchise. Laurie is traumatized but not to an unrealistic extent that she’s portrayed to be in 2018 over a few murders that happened 20+ (40+ in 2018) years ago. But she’s badass and it has an extremely satisfying ending that Resurrection went on to butcher.. which I actually love that movie as well despite all the hate it gets.
Still I think Laurie was good in 2018 I think she had the right to be traumatized that way and she definitely wanted to be safe and prepared incase something were to happen
@@Rahn-ft6qo The issue is that H20 Michael is moreover treated like an actual human threat that's able to get away with stuff because people act dumb. Laurie being THAT prepared over a literal "supposedly" human is 2018 treating Michael like an immortal entity that can't be killed be conventional means and everyone elses IQ around Laurie greatly shot down. She seems over the top in 2018 because her mindset is fighting against a literal outer-world demon while H20 he was basically just a strong killer. So its the writing in 2018's fault for basically putting Michael on god-like status.
The thing i liked about corey was his kills. They were different. I wish they step up michaels kills and uses different weapons and the environments to kill people instead of just his normal knife kills. Thats why i loved Halloween Kills
My favorite Halloween is the original Halloween (1978). I even dug the extra scenes they shot for the TV cut. They actually helped it out a bit. Not often that happens.
I am with you in that Halloween 2018 was the end of the series for me. Maybe Halloween Kills, but of course it ended with a cliffhanger. They really could have made kills longer, fast forward four years after the death of Lori’s daughter, and have the epic battle. Lately everybody wants to do trilogies. I blame the The Hobbit. One movie stretched into three.
I kind of dug the vibe of the first part of the film. (I had never watched the trailers) I honestly thought they were going to flip the philosophy of (anyone can be behind the mask). Society creating a monster, I could get on board with and expected there to be a new face behind the mask at the end and a new generation of Halloween movies for newer audiences…until everything just stopped. Once that end fight scene ended (which was really well done, that was tense) and it was over, is when I had the same feeling as you stated about this film having two very different ideas. They had a cool ending (kind of?) but no solid ground to connect it with. As a film by itself, I can enjoy it but as the final in a trilogy and a Halloween film, oof. I also honestly expected a big pile of MM to come out at the end and reform. However, MM will live on. I don't think it will be too long before it gets rebooted again.
Halloween for me is two movies: Halloween 1978 and 2018. Done. That’s all we need. This review could not be more spot on! Thanks for validating my true bewilderment as to what the hell Halloweens Kills and especially Halloween Ends even were.
I thought a better fit would’ve been in the third act. Since they hinted at the supernatural in Halloween kills I thought Michael would slowly be transferring his conscience on to Cory and every time Cory killed he would become stronger and start ignoring damage like Michael. Imagine at the end instead of Allison thinking Laurie killed Cory Allison never went there, instead she drives by the radio station and sees it burning and figures out that Cory is going on a killing spree. She goes to Laurie’s house and helps her kill Cory, Michael comes along and wounds Allison, and Michael and Laurie have their showdown with Laurie killing Michael but is dying from her wounds from Michael while Allison comforts her. Then it’s revealed that when Michael died his conscience fully transferred to Cory, healing his wound and bringing him back to life. When the cops arrive the only bodies they find are Laurie and Michael’s to Allison’s confusion. At the end of the movie they show a family inside of their house and outside holding a knife is Cory wearing his scarecrow mask. Boom a new villain is born That would have made room for them to make new films about this new killer and move away from the Halloween title as a spin-off. Laurie got to kill Michael and now Allison has her own version to deal with using everything she’s learned from her grandmother. Or it could just be a new slasher film without Allison.
that actually would've been a great way to end the franchise. Honestly, I didn't hate the film but it was certainly a weak ending for Halloween and deserved a rewrite like the one you described.
The scene where Corey grabs michaels arm and Michael kills him, I don’t don’t think Michael was sucking back in his evil but Corey was hoping michael could save him. Corey knows Michael has survived worse so he was wanting Michael to help him. Just my thought.
Just finished watching it. I thought the main actor Corey did a good job but the marketing showed a Michael v Laurie showdown. It would’ve been way better if either Corey was introduced in Halloween 2018 or as a stand-alone movie
Honestly, the 2018 film could have easily been its own self-contained sequel that didn't need any followups, because it had an ending where there were essentially no loose ends (unless you count Cameron and the cop). That said, I found Kills to be fun in its own regard, and as a direct followup, it continued the story in a logical manner (before the mob started making stupid decisions). The real problem there was it was clearly a bridge movie meant as the middle chapter of a trilogy, meaning there had to be another one after it because it lacked closure. I realize Ends couldn't just be Laurie vs. Michael. Obviously, that's the climax, but to completely hide the entire story leading up to that was just false advertising. It didn't feel like the end of a trilogy, because the majority of what it revolved around was never established prior to that. Corey was not a pre-existing character. Ergo, having what felt like the majority of the story revolving around him didn't make sense. Worse still is the fact that Michael's role was so drastically reduced compared to the last two. He didn't even show up until about 40 minutes in with periodic appearances after that, and only truly gained focus during the climax. Overall, I didn't hate the movie. It had interesting ideas, and I could definitely buy into the message it was pushing about there being a bit of evil in all of us, which traumatic experiences can bring to the surface, but the trailer and ads never bothered showing any of that, and I feel the movie genuinely suffered for it. The ending was great, but everything leading up to that was just OK with a few bright spots in there.
The most honest spoiler free review of this film is: The last 20 mins are cool and interesting enough for Halloween fans The first hour and a half is an absolute waste of time focusing on an entirely new character that no fan after watching 12 movies across 40+ years would care about.
Movie was actually great all the way through. Just saw it and Jeremy is off the mark on this one. I enjoy his content as much as the next person but he was wrong with this one.
*SPOILER*? I just finished watching Halloween Ends. I'm sorry to say... the fight was not at all worth the watch. It was an easy defeat, Michael barely put up a fight.
The biggest things that irked me about this movie: 1) Corey apparently teaming up with Michael Myers on a few of the kills. That seems so out of character for Michael to just go along with that. 2) The fact that Michael was featured very little. 3) Corey being able to somehow take Michael's mask away, then go around town pretending to be him and killing people. Hell, I think Corey had more kills than Michael in the movie. Pretty ridiculous.
Just watched this myself and I didn't hate it. But you sure are right about it feeling like 2 separate scripts squished together. It was way more of a character study and deep dive into the question "what is evil, where does it come from, and what can it do to us as an individual, as a group, and as a society? It also explores these way better than Kills did it's questions. I feel that the psychological/sociological side of the film was pretty solid, it just clashes with the, y'know, Halloween part of things. It's my least favorite of the newest trilogy. Kills is the worst "film" but it has more Michael, better kills, more entertaining side characters, and some really dumb but entertaining plot points (evil dies tonight, the angry mob confusing the escaped patient with Michael to name a couple)

"Halloween 2018 _is_ Halloween Ends to me."
I'm so glad I'm not alone in this. We didn't need a trilogy, we just needed one solid film with well-written characters, fun kills, and some semblance of decent suspense. Michael died in that fire, nuff said.
You know they try to milk it for more money lol
They butchered this finale! Michael had a quick cameo showdown and it was over!
Uh, Michael lived in that fire. That's why you heard breathing at the end.
Halloween ends is the best one
I didn’t even like the 2018 film, so imagine how I feel.
"Your movie has an ending, my movie....has a movie." Lmfaooo that whole bit was hilarious.

@@AnitaHanjaaab bruh same. I wonder if he did lol
Is it actually any good? It and the first one just look schlocky.
@@Red-zh7vq terrible acting. It's just really gorey. Not great movies, just really creepy and gorey.
You nailed it Jeremy. I kept waiting for Michael Myers to show up and I"m like why are they focusing on this babysitter dude.
I agree
Most pointless character. Could have just had Michael do everything he was doing. Made Michael look like a bitch all movie too
Agreed
Just to kill him anyway without him having done anything worth telling a story about
Me Right now watching it! Like why tf is a whole new character introduced idgaf bout no Cory
I won’t believe it’s ended until November 1st, I won’t be fooled
Right? Can’t fool me either, no sir.
To be fair, Halloween kills pretty much does take place on November 1st lol.. there's a scene at the bar in town where you can see a guys phone reading that it's midnight at that point.
He's definitely still alive...just in mashed potato form.
It’s the end of the trilogy
Its the last movie with Jamie as Laurie
Jeremy turning into a pitch meeting sketch was excellent.
"It'll be fine"
Ohhhhhh. Turning into a pitch meeting sketch is TIGHT!!!
Wow wow wow wow! 😂
It was barely an inconvenience for Jeremy.
I swear to god that Ryan is gonna make that his pitch meeting for this movie now lol
"So you got a Halloween sequel for me?"
"Yes sir I do."
"Ohhh fantastic so what happens in this thing?"
"So it starts off FOUR YEARS after the last one-"
"wait what?"
"Oh yeah time jump baby!"
"But why?"
"Because"
"Oh okay then."
"Yeah so 4 years go by and this guy was suspected of killing someone he babysat right."
"Ohhh are we getting into like Michael Myers' backstory here?"
"No."
"What?"
"No this is someone else entirely."
"Why?"
"Well sir, I was writing a script for a completely different movie, and kinda got bored with that, and then I started writing the script for Halloween Ends then I realized I just had the ENDING to the movie so I just...merged them together."
"Huh."
i audibly said to my mother, who's a big halloween fan, "the last 15 mins of this movie feels like they were built up to by a movie i didn't see"
"audibly said" is redundant
The showdown between Laurie and Michael was way better handled in the 2018 movie. I honestly feel like their story should have ended with that one.
I agree. Even though I don’t care too much for 2018, I have to admit that climax was way more satisfying and should have ended there. I really love that last shot of Michael looking up at 3 generations of the Strodes knowing he is defeated as the flames begin to engulf him. IMO that image and feeling behind it is one of the best visuals from the whole franchise.
i dont even like 2018 but that movie had suspense, not 1 second of suspense in this movie.
I agree, 2018 is my 4th favorite in the franchise. Better to end it after 2018
Yeah it should've ended that way.
Why, so he could come back until Laurie dies if old age? They finished. the. story.
“Halloween 2018 is Halloween Ends for me.” YES, really wish they didn’t draw up a full on trilogy out of this, it just didn’t feel necessary beyond 2018. Fantastic ending btw Jeremy lmaooo
I look at 2018 the same way I look at The Force Awakens; A film that should’ve been a simple fun one and done movie with no follow ups. However because of those follow ups it kind of dilutes that initial film for me a little bit.
It's funny I remember watching 2018 and being confused as to what they could possibly make a trilogy about and it turns out the answer was nothing.
Yes, it's sad to see how this 'trilogy' was mismanaged. What a waste...Halloween dies.
Don't worry. I'm sure they're gonna make a new trilogy again !
@@Butwhythough881 Yeah, but the force awakens just felt like a glorified new hope. I mean I'll take it over the other two, but I'd still rather watch a new hope at the end of the day.
I love the town bullies are members of the local high school marching band. The guy with the drumstick trying to act like people should find him intimidating had me laughing my @$$ off every time he was on the screen
Yes I'm glad I'm not the only one lol. Like in my high school the marching band kids were losers lol. I don't know where they get their arrogance from
@@SomethingSomethingg The one dude had a rich jack ass daddy, that's the only reason I can think of for the attitude.
The guys haircut was a travesty.
Sadly, that wasn't even the worst part of this shit filled toilet of a movie
Me and my friend who were all in Highschool band were laughing so hard when we saw the local band nerds being all tough (as we all hated band by our Junior/Senior years) and especially when they died.
The first one is still the best. You get the backstory, the iconic escape, the stalking at the school. He doesn't seem immortal, just a deranged killer out to kill Laurie and her friends. He's become Jason Voorhees as the series went on.
Lame
Basically. And this film essentially ruins the twist of the last film as well. It made it seem like a big deal that all of a sudden Michael Myers had supernatural abilities. And while yes there are technically moments in Ends that can come across as supernatural, it didn’t really feel like anyone treated it as a big deal. Micheal Myers being supernatural seemed like an afterthought
That's the problem though. Michael Myers is the OG. They should have left him alone. Halloween came out 1978. Friday the 13th 1980.... but now they've watered him down so much people will think Jason is the OG. Should have just left the franchise alone
@@CoOlKyUbI96 EXACTLY! It seemed like it really bothered the writers that Michael had that supernatural edge. Tried so hard to make him human.
He literally had inhuman strength and extreme durability in the first film lmao he always had that inhuman aspect
Man the director did such a good job with Halloween 2018, sad to see the sequels are not even close. Had lots of potential.
Because 2018 they actually gave a fuck and was inspired, they made Kills because 2018 Halloween was such a hit they company wanted more, and Ends is a mess because they changed their original plan to fit in some covid message
They didn’t even have a clue on what the sequels would be, Kills they just rehashed Halloween 2 but made Michael into Jason and in End they made it up along the way while filming.
@@mitchjames9350 "Michael into Jason" but Jason was always a copy of Michael.
This movie fucking sucked, way to drop the ball on the third and final movie.
Is really Halloween ends that bad?
Allyson's character was completely unbelievable, no one talks and acts like that. This movie is a crime against film. Felt like a straight to video director fell into a coma in the 90s and woke up now and decided to write a Halloween movie before fully recovering.
The fact that she was biting her lip so much the moment she saw the guy was so cringe. The actors had some chemistry, but the plot made no sense. I thought Halloween Kills was bad, but wow. This movie was hot garbage.

@@thebatman4279 Nope , it will be super easy , barely an inconvenience.
This makes me appreciate Halloween II and H20 more. That timeline will be my preferred trilogy of movies.
Are you kidding? It doesn't even take place in Haddonfield. We're supposed to believe Michael magically knew how to drive from IL to CA? SO fucking stupid.
Yes, especially the part where Busta Rhymes does a stupid karate kick to Michael Myers, all while making stupid karate movie noises the whole time, which was hilarious, but I'm surprised he didn't get killed off immediately afterwards. Still stupid, still hilarious.
@@shawnfields2369 wasn’t that Resurrection?
@@danh.5998 Was it? Sorry, if I got those 2 confused, but, to be honest, I've only seen like, H20, and I think Resurrection, so yeah, I think I may have seen the 2 worst Halloween movies possible, so I may have just gotten a bad first impression of the series. But i think you're right, and it may have actually been Resurrection where Busta Rhymes kicks Michael out of a window, if I'm wrong, sorry. I'm not a huge scary movie or Halloween movie fan, I just really wanted to see what Jeremy had to say, and plus, my best friend kept talking about how much she wanted to see the movie, so I at least had to see what one of my favorite reviewers(Jeremy Jahns), had to say about it.
those suck
My favorite part of Halloween kills was the new footage of loomis and the first original night. I really was hoping for much more of something like that
No, move on. The last 2 we're stuck in the past
@@RT-bt5ql and this one blew completely
Yeah that was incredible 🔥
I agree showing more of the original Halloween was spot on. Really wish we got more of that. Also sucks that this movie had no pay off with the old sheriff getting a shot in on Michael. Would have brought his story full circle.
*EVIL DIES TONIGHT*
The fact that a character in the movie says something like “oh imagine if Laurie was sleeping with Michael” there was a line like that and it just seems that was the pitch from the writers when they sat down for filling in a plot
Jeremy has better acting and writing in his bits then shows and movies out now
I know and I'm to the point where I do not even want to go to the theaters anymore because it's overpriced and I leave feeling ripped off because of these directors and writers! I hate these times we are in😔
Cry
His remake of Blade wasn't that good imo
@@thedarknate08 then just go watch good movies lmao
Lots or critics want to be actors. Maybe Jeremy will be an actor.
Here's what I think happened. I honestly think they were setting up Corey as Michael's successor. We were getting the origin story of the next Boogeyman. They couldn't renew the rights so they changed the script. I'm thinking they were setting up Laurie's granddaughter and Corey clashing. It just reeks of studio interference if you ask me in that regard.
Did you find(as I did)...Micheal had been turned into a GERIATRIC- incapable of fighting off Cory(the town wimp) and 60yr old Laurie. Is this the same Michael Myers from the last movie who was unstoppable. Then was it me or does this film nod to the IT film, as the bad guy was hiding down a sewer the whole time. Then is it too much of a stretch to see the accidental child killer, befriend Laurie, date her granddaughter...to then slowely become exactly as Michael is and as the town was accusing him of being(a killer) The whole film to me, seems laughably bad for a FINALE of such a loved franchise. With the main antagonist reduced to such a pathetic figure, to be thrown by the town in a shredder....just alittle disappointing in such a crucial film to end things on. Or is it just me with this opinion?!
100% agree, they made Michael look old when Corey took his make off and I thought it was like a passing of the touch sort of things until the end, where they could renew the rights and was like fuck it
But a successor wouldn't be Micheal.
@@oscarkoop2548 You misread my comment. Corey would have been the successor, not Michael.
It’s crazy how Halloween 2018 was amazing but then this film exists.
Fr dude, and people give kills so much shit, I personally love kills and then you have Ends…
the stylistic approach of those other two movies was just better. I think the references to old movies and such just made it much better
Pretty sure I’m the only person on the planet right now that thought ends was the best of the 3. I felt so much Christine and lost boys, although unique in it own way
@@johnny05100 You definitely the only one that feels this way because I just watched it and without a doubt can say Halloween Ends is a dogshit ass movie
@@D1Hater2413 naw you wrong cus i agree with him
You know you're getting old when your boy, Jeremy, got those grey hairs appearing. Been watching since 2010. Time flies.
It quite suits him though... older and wiser!!
His voice is raspier too
Old man Jeremy (Logan)
Can’t wait for when he’s still reviewing movies with a full head of lucious silver hair and a 3 foot long braded beard and a cane with unknown symbols scratched into it.
I noticed this during the video too. Not a critique whatsoever Jeremy you handsome fella
Honestly I didn't mind it. It was fun to watch. The only thing that felt off was how quickly it went from two misunderstood people pairing up to "Let's burn down this town and run away together." It was so rushed and weird how chill she was seeing him turn into a murderer.
And he tells her he killed somebody and she doesn’t even question him.
@Mari000 because he was very obviously telling her about the kid. He was obviously thinking about the old man he killed
The only timeline really that works is Halloween 78’, Halloween II 81’, and then H20 in 98’. That is a storyline where we see Laurie go through all the trauma but 20 years later she is actively trying to move on in her life. Yes she still has flashes of Michael, but she actually moves out of town, changes her name, becomes a teacher, has a son, etc. And it actually has a badass ending where she kills him! In these new movies they try to do that same thing but try to pass it off as “different” and “more realistic.” In Halloween 18’ she’s apparently so scarred from the events of 40 years ago that she never moved from Haddonfield, her own daughter hates her, and she is a weird, off-brand Sarah Conner. She complained about her only being in a hospital bed in Halloween II, but yet in Halloween Kills she’s also in a hospital bed for most of the run time giving these Loomis lines about how Michael is brute force and you can’t kill him 🤦🏽♂️. DGG & Blumhouse swear they really did something with this trilogy when really they tried things that have been done before and were executed way better.
Btw my favorite is of course the original.
"Let's remove the entire franchise from canon, only to make more subpar sequels!"
I cannot agree more with this comment
halooween 2 isnt cannon in this timeline
If J Carpenter says that Halloween II 81' is stupid and non cannon because he never wanted a sequel let alone Michael to be Laurie's brother then that's how it is! It's either 78' alone, 78'-H20 or 78'-2018 with the flashbacks of "Kills", period. Watch "Kills" for the Slasher flick it is and forget about "Ends"
@@MillerHammer have you seen the new movies? John carpenters opinion can kiss my ass lol. Make your own , there’s like 3 time lines . Or just make one up with the movies that are out lol.

Directed by a someone who never watched a Halloween movie
The moment he mentioned that 'this movie is not what the trailer claimed it would be', I had to stay on.
Because who puts Myers on the bench in a film called 'Halloween Ends'

I like how it ..... ended. I will see myself out.
@@Rahn-ft6qo garbage.
For me, honestly, it was the opposite. I enjoyed it because I was expecting Michael to be chasing down Laurie for 90 minutes, which just sounded boring. Having it actually focus on a new fleshed out character, and tying it all together, really worked for me.
It's amazing how they can't make better films with the modern day budgets than they had back in the 70's with the first film.
I agree, its sad.
An artist was behind the camera. It's not the budget. It's the brains managing it.
Someone give this man an Oscar for that phone call acting!!!
I felt like the fight between Michael and Lori could have been a little longer like in 2018 this felt a little short.
The fight itself was good but the rest just didn’t make any sense
SPOILER ngl I dont even think the fight itself was good. Micheal used to be very hard to defeat and in 2018 they showcased that in a very long, hard, well planned fight. But in this she literally just 1v1 him and won. Rly dissapointing ending btw (also what was that random parade and crowd surf in the end to throw him into that machine??)

the way he explained how confusing the plot was perfect. after watching that movie I didn't know how to explain it lol
Thats exactly what I thought. I don't really know what to say about it!
Halloween had no reason to have a trilogy, Halloween 2018 was great and felt like a true ending to the original
Sure I guess I think it deserved to have a trilogy because we get to have more Michael Myers screen time and see more gruesome kills. If 2018 ended there we would not have the stuff we have now With Myers that’s what I think and like about this new trilogy even if people don’t like it I do. Guess that’s just me
The only way I think it could have had a real chance at a trilogy that was at least decent was if the three films all took place within the span of the same day or week.
Exactly should of ended it right there. This movie wasnt that good it took forever to get exciting
This film actually made me appreciate Halloween Kills even more. Because at least in that one, Michael’s constantly in there doing the kills. Not some Michael wannabe.
agreed if ends was just a side movie seperated from the finale i would be up but as for a finale for this trilogy (timeline) it was bad.
I feel like this film’s biggest flaw was that in so many ways it feels detached from the last two films. It’s set a few years later, there’s an all new character who wasn’t in the other two yet is given a lot of focus, the Micheal vs Laurie conflict is ignored until the last few minutes, and most of the side characters seem so complacent with being big assholes (even though that was meant to be the lesson the townspeople learned in the last film).
@@CoOlKyUbI96 Exactly! I will say though, the conclusion was extremely satisfying! I don't think I ever seen a horror franchise end it the way this one did.
@@JosephDutra dam we have two different views I thought the ending sucked ass to put out one of the biggest horror icons ever like that was horrible and he’s barley in the movie (and when he is in the movie he’s getting bitched around :/)
@@adolfolopez3575 I can understand that. But the fact they made sure they he was 1000% percent dead really did it for me. A lot times that doesn’t happen in slasher horror films.
Alternative movie plot: it’s been 4 years, Laurie has been hunting Micheal by following unsolved murders in the surrounding area of haddonfield. Laurie connects a string of murders that fit Micheal M/O. She follows the clues till she figure out Micheal is heading home for Halloween.
In the years since Micheal has become a crime icon (movies and docs about his crimes are mainstream, he is glorified as “the most prolific serial killers”) and is the popular costume this Halloween, everyone wants to dress up as Micheal.
Halloween night begins and Micheal begins his rampage by killing a imposter Micheal and taking his mask to blend in. Laurie finds Allison (she has been trying to move on since the death of her parents) she tells Laurie that some college kids are throwing a Micheal myers party/haunted house at the myers house.
Micheal is already there rampaging through the house. Partygoers don’t know what’s real or fake (many people are dressed as Micheal) Laurie and Allison confront Micheal there for a climatic battle. Laurie and Micheal stab each other multiple times, Allison gets knocked out by Micheal. Micheal starts to overpower Laurie, as Micheal is strangling Laurie Allison stabs him in the back, freeing Laurie they over power him together and continue to stab him until he is a bloody mess. The camera cuts to micheals pov (same as the beginning of the first movie when he murdered his sister) and you see Laurie and Allison continuing to stab him as his breathing and vision slowly fades to black

I think Halloween, II, and H20 make for a fine trilogy.
Indeed, though 4 and 2018 are quite good too.
1,2 and 4 for me. It’s funny how H20 erased 4 and Halloween (2018) erased H2. The next Laurie strode Halloween will erase the original if hey keep this up lol
Halloween (2007) I think is a very underrated remake, definitely the scariest Michael in my opinion.
I think Jeremy should now actually start delving into the possibility to enter the movie making business and start in whatever capacity that suits him best…script writer, cinematographer, assistant director, screen-player eventually going on to become a director and producer. He has so much talent and understanding of the business which I guess even the people in industry don’t have !
The original Halloween, HW 2, and H20 is the only trilogy I need. Michael's had lots of endings, just pick the one you like best.

The acting with that fake call deserves an oscar...
Halloween Ends was a big let-down and a sorry excuse to end the Halloween saga. Why was Michael hiding in the sewers like Pennywise? Why was Michael so weak? At the end of Halloween Kills, after Michael kills like half the town, it’s hinted that he gains strength the more he kills. Did they drop this plot? And even if they did drop it, that doesn’t explain why he hides in the sewers for 4 years. Michael only kills 2 people in this movie, Allyson’s cop ex and the ginger nurse. Is that the lowest kill count Michael has had in a Halloween movie?
Corey was just awful, not a compelling villain. I didn’t feel sympathetic for him, he was just a wimp. Also, the bullying he went through was really over-the-top.They ruined Allyson’s character and turned her into a stereotypical, grief-struck, troubled, young lovebird, when in the previous two films she’s shown to be much stronger than that. Did the director of this movie have a fetish for Andi Matichak’s hands? Granted, they’re pretty hands, there were several close-up, lingering shots of them, which was really fucking weird.
So after being established as the next villain and basically taking the place of Michael during this movie, Corey decides to kill himself…because Laurie said he can’t date Allyson? WTF? The epic, climactic battle, 44 years in the making…Laurie Strode vs. Michael Myers! The final duel lasts 30 seconds and Michael goes out wimpier than Corey. Again, WTF?
Michael’s funeral procession scene was rushed and to be honest, a tad cringey. Why were so many of the kills cutaway kills? The previous two films did not shy away for showing the kills on-screen. Did this have something to do with Peacock not wanting the movie as gory? The final shot should have been Laurie and Allyson, not Laurie and her cop boyfriend.
Damn your fingers wasn’t hurting from writing this
Its so sad because Halloween 2018 was perfect.
Lol what? Correy didnt kill himself because of Laurie's objection. It was because Alyson was about to find out he was a serial killer and he didnt want to live without her. Also, Cory didnt even kill himself. It was Michael that finished him off. I also never felt that Alyson as a good character. All she did was cry and whimper 😂.
You're absolutely right about basically trying to bring together what should of been completely different movies. Not a good idea. Should of focused on the story and characters we actually know and care about, that obviously being Laurie and Michael.
I seriously thought “Halloween Ends” is just about how Michael Myers and Laurie Strode end their fight once and for all. But for some reason, this is about Corey killing people while Michael is staying in the shadows.
This new timeline has never been about Laurie strode vs. Michael Myers. It's always been the shape vs. haddenfield. Whenever Myers fights Laurie, it's because he's led there.
What a Let Down this movie was. I wanted an epic story of how Michael Survived the attack from the towns people in Halloween Kills!!
What did we get? a movie that wasted 90% of the time talking about family issues, emotional drama, girlfriends, boyfriends, relationship problems...
The trailer did the a good job of fooling the audience.. *DAMN* It was not that good... boring actually. 😴
Its honestly so bad of a mislead that it should have a class action lawsuit for false advertising.
My theory is that Danny McBride and David Green had a killer pitch for one, maybe two Halloween movies that could act as a definitive end to the story and then the studio told them to make it a trilogy so a whole bunch of uninteresting and seemingly unrelated stuff got shoved in to pad the runtime.
Studios love trilogies
That's a good theory, but I remember them always promoting it as a trilogy. Maybe it was a bit of both. Since Kills, they definately showed they do not know how to handle Michael.
So the studio is responsible for this apsolute bullshit. I could of written a better script in 2 days
Danny McBride and David Green have no business DOING HORROR MOVIES! Danny is a comedian who his only claim to fame is I LOVE HALLOWEEN MOVIES! He doesn't write horror, he makes poor comedy.
They phoned it in because it was going to revert to another studio , so quick crash grab that was half baked crap
Looking forward to the sequel to the Halloween Ends franchise.
You’re absolutely right. Halloween 2018 was the perfect redemption and definitive end to a franchise that had long worn out its welcome. Then they squeezed out two unnecessary sequels 🤷🏻♂️
I just watched this in the theater and I shit you not 3 people walked out halfway through 😂💀
It was bad, the whole teenage-like drama that two 21yos are going through with bad scripting and bad sequencing… it pained me 😂
Me and my cousin walked out halfway. He fell asleep, I woke him up. I said ''Let's dip out & roll one up to forget this trash ass movie''.
@@jesseramirez9062 lmao
That's funny saw it last night and there was 8 people total in the theater it was sad
@@adrianaa2767 I wanted to fall asleep during most of those scenes. Felt like some cheesy CW shit 😂
I never thought I would watch a Halloween film that I liked less than Halloween resurrection but they managed it. Abysmal film.
Then opening was horrible, I knew something was up, no traditional music, it should have been Laurie vs Michael
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!
Agreed! Halloween Kills woulda been a nice ending to the franchise had they actually killed Michael. The whole connection to the salvage yard, and the ending, where Michael's corpse is thrown into the car crusher, sending him into the netherworld, but for how long?????
When Halloween Ends ended, the first thing I said out loud was "I would rather watch Resurrection". I loath Resurrection. I will never watch Ends again
Halloween 2🎃 has always been my favorite. That hospital setting was scary
The most under staffed hospital in the world conveniently gets overran by the most under the radar serial killer at night
Better than first one
@@Vladan_86 I watch Halloween 1978 and Halloween 2 1981 as one long movie pretty much are
Honestly it made me scared of hospitals even though I don’t have a crazy serial killer brother trying to kill me, you never know 🤣
Yeah Rob Zombie did a helluva job in Halloween 2.
My go-to Halloween "trilogy" used to be Halloween, Halloween 2 (I like it, no idea why it gets so much shit these days), follwed up with Halloween H2O. Now I DO get why H20 get's so much shit, but I still dig it and I think it's a good capper to the original story. I never clicked with the Thorne stuff from 4, 5, and 6. So I thought it was ballsy to bring it back to Jamie Lee for the 20 year anniversary and it looekd like they ended it then. But... you know... that didn't really end there. And now here we are.
Yes, Halloween (2018) will be Halloween ends for me too. I'm just going to pretend that's how that franchise ended. 😩😂
Kills was good
2018 was decent, but the Halloween continuity I’m the biggest fan of is Halloween, Halloween 2, And H2O
@@ghostface9369 Kills was trash.
My thoughts on Halloween 2 (2009): I give props to Rob Zombie for taking everything he built up in Halloween--the good and the bad--and just burning it all down to the ground.
I still enjoy H2 2009 for the troll flick that is it
The pitch meeting was some of the best acting I have seen. I felt like I was there
Why can’t we just get a remake of 78 as good as the flashback scene in Kills. By far that was the best time I’ve had seeing a Halloween movie in years.
Sounds like Redlettermedia is gonna love this movie. I Can already hear Mike saying “You’re gonna hate me for this Jay… but I looooved it”
Thought the same thing!
Jay's brain is going to melt.
Jeremy jahns has aged like a fine wine
He looks so different from what he looked like 8 to 10 years ago the more hair makes a major difference lol😂
@@albertowelchjr3969 definitely yes
He went from pasty white vampire to Keanu Reeves wolfman. Such a glow up.
About a year ago after watching Jeremy talk about something (I forget which movie it was) I saw this thumbnail in the recommended list and my first reaction was, "who is this kid trying to look like Jeremy?" And of course it was just Jeremy from 9 or 10 years ago.
You feel about Halloween 2018 exactly how I feel about it. I think it was the perfect ending to all of it.
The original Halloween is hard to top. A genuine classic of horror cinema. It's somewhat difficult to recapture the spirit of that film, because you can only show a knife wielding murderer terrorize people so many times until it becomes dull unless you do something extremely original or have some visual inventiveness.
Original Halloween 1 and Halloween 2 is always going to be my favorite..nothing will top that
yup. even halloween 3 was a good movie on its own. once Mike returned for the sequels it got worse
@@kascnef true
The movie I plan on making for the franchise will likely top 2. It may be tied with one if not better, it'll depend on the execution, story is great.
Halloween 2018 is better than Halloween 1 and 2 in my opinion
@@Vladan_86 Nah, that Dr Sartain twist and them trying to say that he was the one that had Michael escape it's all corny and ruins the movie, the comedy does too with Julian, wrong part of the movie to do that. There's also other mistakes that jump this movie back behind Halloween 1, 2 and possibly 4.
That phonecall about combining two movies to make a sequel to a horror franchise is basically the story of every Hellraiser after the first few
They did this with the last movie, the marketing made it seem like the whole film WAS " Michael vs the city" and it technically has that stuff in it but it doesn't quite go where the marketing was leading on the surface.
Halloween 2018 will have a special place in my heart. I watched that movie at a time when I had moved yet again to another place. I was living in New Jersey and I remember seeing that movie around October when the leaves were starting to change and I hadn't seen that many Halloween movies then .so it was nice to see a Halloween movie in the actual theaters even though I saw it by myself. It was overall a great , enjoyable movie that did a great job capturing the essence of not just the Halloween movies but more then that, the feeling of fall time and October, which i always loved that feeling of that time of year living up North. Both in NJ and in my home state of Ohio. Glad that Jermany seems enjoy this movie more than last years one. I'll admit, "Halloween kills "was not the best Halloween mostly because of the hospital scenes , but I will say , that movie I think definitely had best iteration and look of Michael Myers. Every shot of him in that movie was incredible with the lightning and different scenes. Not to mention the kills where some of the most brutal.and I loved what they did with his mask .Im looking forward to seeing this new one !
This trilogy is more than about Laurie vs Michael but the town of Haddonfield dealing with trauma and healing from it along with how Michael's evil spreads around like a disease affecting those around him like with Dr. Sartain in H18, the town in Kills, and now with Corey in Ends. I love this trilogy and Ends is my favorite out of the three and my 2nd favorite in the series and it ended the Laurie vs Michael saga on a satisfying note for me. I also love how it pays respect on what John Carpenter wanted the series to be with focusing on different stories centered around Halloween and we got majority of that
Rise of Skywalker: I have the worst conclusion to a popular franchise
Dominion: No I have it
Halloween Ends: allow me to introduce myself
I'd be surprised if Ends can top Dominion's horrible (not) ending.
Puhhhhlease. Rise of Skywalker is the worst conclusion
I’m Joe Grizzly bitch!
No no ROS is still the worse, this at least sounds like it tried to have something. ROS literally was a massive amount of nonsensical damage control
Dominion sucked but Rise of Skywalker meant be one of the worst movies I’ve ever watched 👎🏽 let’s see how bad Halloween ends turns out
Wait so you're telling me they pulled a Cars 2 where you know the guy in the front on the poster he's not the main character it's just another guy?
That's honestly hysterical.
Proof that women aren't funny
I'll call it the Transformers move
They do it to most of the movies where they bring legacy characters back, just so they can focus on their shittier younger characters to replace them.
@@masterzombie161 so what the actress who plays Allison is pretty good in this Halloween trilogy
They pulled a Halloween 3 on us without the guts to go full Season of The Witch
I was actually for the ride this movie put out. Ends felt more like a spiritual successor to John Carpenter's "Christine" and I appreciated it in that aspect. Rohan Campbell did a great job as Corey, he made it worth it!
I mean if I were making a horror trilogy (or forced to do so), the final movie certainly wouldn't be where I experiment. Still, I dug the movie for being something different in the series. Michael was in it enough for me and I felt satisfied.
That Altered Beast intro was epic
"Wise from your gwave"
How does Laurie even know that the kid is acting like Michael if they aren’t even brother and sister in this timeline?
I know right? She only knew him for like 30 minutes when he tried to kill her in 1978. She acts like they go way back like old best friends.
Because women are always right and smart and could do no wrong while men are bad.
There's another character in the movie who just takes one look at Corey from afar and immediately believes him to be evil. You can tell when the writers were like, "I don't fucking know. Doesn't really make sense on the page, but hey, maybe the actor will figure it out?" And the actor is great, but no, the actor will not magically fix your bad writing and bad ideas.
This is exactly why retconning Halloween II was a stupid move on the writers' part. Them being siblings totally explained why Michael targeted Laurie in the first place.
Cause this whole trilogy is horrible fanfic and people see it now.
Hi Jeremy, I just smiled & laughed at your pitch meeting Skit re Halloween Ends, I think you're hilarious!😄 However, while I understand your & others' similar views, I actually enjoyed the focus on poor Corey constantly being Bullied, & his blooming relationship w/Allison, and Sadly, his giving in to becoming an Evil murderer After his first strange encounter w/Michael Myers. So, overall I loved this movie & I found the ending fight between Laurie & Michael and Michael's Definite Death (finally for G-d's sake), very Satisfying.😊♥️
I gotta say with the ending, if theirs a way to make sure it's over, that's how you heckin do it pal.
It’s a shame though that you have to wait an hour and a half to actually get the movie you paid to go see
@@Butwhythough881 you mean you were disappointed that a movie about Michael Meyers and Laurie's final confrontation DIDN'T HAVE THEM FACE OFF UNTIL THE LAST 30 MINUTES
@@kalebhawkeyekj1933 Think broader. I mean the ending to the saga Laurie and MICHAEL MYERS, not an hour and a half of some Copycat killer that you can see coming a mile away and then having Michael slip in at the end to fight Laurie.
@@kalebhawkeyekj1933 I would rather have most of the movie or at least several parts throughout the runtime be instances of confrontation rather than just the very end but hey thats just me.
@@shadysorkin9214 Exactly! Have it be a similar case to Freddy vs Jason where you have at least 2-3 conflicts between Michael and Laurie throughout. This was a problem I had a bit with the 2018 film as well. Before the final conflict in that film, all we got in terms of prior conflicts was Laurie getting a potshot off Michael’s shoulder with a revolver.
Halloween H20 is still my favorite movie in the franchise. Laurie is traumatized but not to an unrealistic extent that she’s portrayed to be in 2018 over a few murders that happened 20+ (40+ in 2018) years ago. But she’s badass and it has an extremely satisfying ending that Resurrection went on to butcher.. which I actually love that movie as well despite all the hate it gets.
Still I think Laurie was good in 2018 I think she had the right to be traumatized that way and she definitely wanted to be safe and prepared incase something were to happen
@@Rahn-ft6qo The issue is that H20 Michael is moreover treated like an actual human threat that's able to get away with stuff because people act dumb. Laurie being THAT prepared over a literal "supposedly" human is 2018 treating Michael like an immortal entity that can't be killed be conventional means and everyone elses IQ around Laurie greatly shot down. She seems over the top in 2018 because her mindset is fighting against a literal outer-world demon while H20 he was basically just a strong killer. So its the writing in 2018's fault for basically putting Michael on god-like status.
It's not even explained how he escaped the fire and how the fuck has he still got his eyes after Horseface shoots him? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Absolutely 💩
1,2,3 after that it gets really weird and lame.
Honestly i love all the old movies
The thing i liked about corey was his kills. They were different. I wish they step up michaels kills and uses different weapons and the environments to kill people instead of just his normal knife kills. Thats why i loved Halloween Kills
My favorite Halloween is the original Halloween (1978). I even dug the extra scenes they shot for the TV cut. They actually helped it out a bit. Not often that happens.
Christine is my favorite movie to watch during Halloween.
I am with you in that Halloween 2018 was the end of the series for me. Maybe Halloween Kills, but of course it ended with a cliffhanger. They really could have made kills longer, fast forward four years after the death of Lori’s daughter, and have the epic battle. Lately everybody wants to do trilogies. I blame the The Hobbit. One movie stretched into three.
I kind of dug the vibe of the first part of the film. (I had never watched the trailers) I honestly thought they were going to flip the philosophy of (anyone can be behind the mask). Society creating a monster, I could get on board with and expected there to be a new face behind the mask at the end and a new generation of Halloween movies for newer audiences…until everything just stopped. Once that end fight scene ended (which was really well done, that was tense) and it was over, is when I had the same feeling as you stated about this film having two very different ideas. They had a cool ending (kind of?) but no solid ground to connect it with.
As a film by itself, I can enjoy it but as the final in a trilogy and a Halloween film, oof. I also honestly expected a big pile of MM to come out at the end and reform.
However, MM will live on. I don't think it will be too long before it gets rebooted again.
The review I was waiting for!
Halloween for me is two movies: Halloween 1978 and 2018. Done. That’s all we need. This review could not be more spot on! Thanks for validating my true bewilderment as to what the hell Halloweens Kills and especially Halloween Ends even were.
I thought a better fit would’ve been in the third act. Since they hinted at the supernatural in Halloween kills I thought Michael would slowly be transferring his conscience on to Cory and every time Cory killed he would become stronger and start ignoring damage like Michael. Imagine at the end instead of Allison thinking Laurie killed Cory Allison never went there, instead she drives by the radio station and sees it burning and figures out that Cory is going on a killing spree. She goes to Laurie’s house and helps her kill Cory, Michael comes along and wounds Allison, and Michael and Laurie have their showdown with Laurie killing Michael but is dying from her wounds from Michael while Allison comforts her. Then it’s revealed that when Michael died his conscience fully transferred to Cory, healing his wound and bringing him back to life. When the cops arrive the only bodies they find are Laurie and Michael’s to Allison’s confusion. At the end of the movie they show a family inside of their house and outside holding a knife is Cory wearing his scarecrow mask. Boom a new villain is born
That would have made room for them to make new films about this new killer and move away from the Halloween title as a spin-off. Laurie got to kill Michael and now Allison has her own version to deal with using everything she’s learned from her grandmother. Or it could just be a new slasher film without Allison.
that actually would've been a great way to end the franchise. Honestly, I didn't hate the film but it was certainly a weak ending for Halloween and deserved a rewrite like the one you described.
@@morenol1990 it seemed like they were setting up more and just said never mind at the end.
You’ve come up with a better idea in 2 minutes than they did in 4 years 😂
Bruuuhhhh exactly
Tbh that’s what I expected and didn’t want to happen
The scene where Corey grabs michaels arm and Michael kills him, I don’t don’t think Michael was sucking back in his evil but Corey was hoping michael could save him. Corey knows Michael has survived worse so he was wanting Michael to help him. Just my thought.
Just finished watching it. I thought the main actor Corey did a good job but the marketing showed a Michael v Laurie showdown. It would’ve been way better if either Corey was introduced in Halloween 2018 or as a stand-alone movie
If this makes 100s of millions then Halloween's gonna restart next year
Horror movies always profit
Lmao
Definitely
Was just a nightmare for Mike 😏.
And now, in about a decade, there's gonna be another Halloween reboot, or a 4th movie, Halloween Returns
Honestly, the 2018 film could have easily been its own self-contained sequel that didn't need any followups, because it had an ending where there were essentially no loose ends (unless you count Cameron and the cop). That said, I found Kills to be fun in its own regard, and as a direct followup, it continued the story in a logical manner (before the mob started making stupid decisions). The real problem there was it was clearly a bridge movie meant as the middle chapter of a trilogy, meaning there had to be another one after it because it lacked closure. I realize Ends couldn't just be Laurie vs. Michael. Obviously, that's the climax, but to completely hide the entire story leading up to that was just false advertising. It didn't feel like the end of a trilogy, because the majority of what it revolved around was never established prior to that. Corey was not a pre-existing character. Ergo, having what felt like the majority of the story revolving around him didn't make sense. Worse still is the fact that Michael's role was so drastically reduced compared to the last two. He didn't even show up until about 40 minutes in with periodic appearances after that, and only truly gained focus during the climax. Overall, I didn't hate the movie. It had interesting ideas, and I could definitely buy into the message it was pushing about there being a bit of evil in all of us, which traumatic experiences can bring to the surface, but the trailer and ads never bothered showing any of that, and I feel the movie genuinely suffered for it. The ending was great, but everything leading up to that was just OK with a few bright spots in there.
Well said mate!
@@stormdoesgaming8919 Thanks! ^_^
The most honest spoiler free review of this film is:
The last 20 mins are cool and interesting enough for Halloween fans
The first hour and a half is an absolute waste of time focusing on an entirely new character that no fan after watching 12 movies across 40+ years would care about.
Tbh all I wanted to hear is if the Michael and Laurie fight was worth it at the end and I'm happy Jeremy said it was
Movie was actually great all the way through. Just saw it and Jeremy is off the mark on this one. I enjoy his content as much as the next person but he was wrong with this one.
*SPOILER*? I just finished watching Halloween Ends. I'm sorry to say... the fight was not at all worth the watch. It was an easy defeat, Michael barely put up a fight.
@@austionnac4180 yeah i was disappointed by the fight between laurie and michael
@@larrygarcia6356 the movie was awful. Jeremy is spot on in this review
@@austionnac4180 and not to mention myers is Barley in the movie and when he is he’s getting bitched around like a crippled old man
The biggest things that irked me about this movie:
1) Corey apparently teaming up with Michael Myers on a few of the kills. That seems so out of character for Michael to just go along with that.
2) The fact that Michael was featured very little.
3) Corey being able to somehow take Michael's mask away, then go around town pretending to be him and killing people. Hell, I think Corey had more kills than Michael in the movie. Pretty ridiculous.
That review was more creative and fun than the film, I suppose. Great job, Jeremy !
This confirmed my worries i was really hoping that after halloween kills they would make ends a more traditional halloween movie.
Now that phone call Jeremy.... is what I call good acting
Just watched this myself and I didn't hate it. But you sure are right about it feeling like 2 separate scripts squished together. It was way more of a character study and deep dive into the question "what is evil, where does it come from, and what can it do to us as an individual, as a group, and as a society? It also explores these way better than Kills did it's questions. I feel that the psychological/sociological side of the film was pretty solid, it just clashes with the, y'know, Halloween part of things. It's my least favorite of the newest trilogy. Kills is the worst "film" but it has more Michael, better kills, more entertaining side characters, and some really dumb but entertaining plot points (evil dies tonight, the angry mob confusing the escaped patient with Michael to name a couple)
