An Average Movie-Goer’s Review
No spoilers! If you would like spoilers – check out the Spoiler post
I love horror movies and if I’m going to watch them anyway, why not write an entertaining/funny review from the POV of an average movie-goer and not a professional critic.
Today we’re looking at the final film in the new Halloween timeline, Halloween Ends
Four years after Michael Myers terrorized Haddonfield, Michael’s attacks still loom over the town and a new murder starts a new wave of terror on Halloween
Is Halloween Ends Scary?
Halloween Ends has a few jumpscares and can be pretty gory (but only in a few scenes) but it relies on more on suspense. You might jump a bit but in the end you won’t leave Halloween Ends afraid of the dark unless you have a friend that likes to wear a Michael Myers mask and scare you.
Review:
Halloween Ends is good. I would put Halloween Ends above Halloween Kills since I feel the story has actual movement for the world of these characters as a whole. Someone could skip Halloween Kills and jump right to Halloween Ends and they would barely miss a beat. Halloween Ends does a better job of telling it’s story.
The acting by everyone was great, nothing was off. Even some characters that might feel over the top at their first introduction, make sense as the story goes along. Surprisingly the movie had great characterization for all its characters which is not often that happens. There are one or two characters where you might feel that characterization falls apart but it’s not too big of a deal.
I do think the handling of Michael Myer’s character is a bit of a negative but it’s probably not the complaint that most who dislike this movie will have. I can’t say much without giving spoilers but overall it’s not a big deal either.
Overall Halloween Ends is still good. I recommend giving it a watch especially if you’re a fan of horror movies and a fan of Michael Myers.
