Zombie would make a sequel to his film, Halloween II (yes, there are two movies with that title), which would include some nods to the earlier Halloween II with initial scenes set at a hospital right after Michael attempted to kill Laurie. After that, it mostly told its own story, set two years later, that included the unusual sight of Michael Myers -- who is much more of a hulking presence in Zombie’s version than the original, slimmer Michael -- dressed as a wandering vagrant. Zombie’s sequel culminated in Michael killing Loomis before Laurie apparently kills Michael. Laurie, psychologically traumatized, then ends up institutionalized herself, as it seems some things are destined to repeat in the Myers/Strode multiverse… Though in the Director’s Cut of Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, Laurie ends up being shot and killed by police after it appears to them as though she has become homicidal herself.

If ever an opening credits font could serve as a warning shot, the use of the Halloween III: Season of the Witch font was it. This is a very different Halloween film from the two that came before. It’s more cerebral (or at least it thinks it is), and much more character focused than previous entries. But the character that gets the most care and attention, Corey, was introduced far too late in this franchise sub-trilogy. I felt Rohan Campbell delivered one hell of a performance here. When we first meet him, he’s likable and funny, and you feel for him when his life goes so bad. But he needed to have been introduced in Halloween (2018)- not two movies later. Most of his transformation would have been a great way to spend Halloween Kills instead of waiting for the next obnoxious chant of “ EVIL DIES TONIGHT.”David, Brian (March 5, 2021).

David Gordon Green has overseen this new trilogy of Halloween movies, directing all three, including Halloween Ends. Green also wrote the script for all three recent Halloween movies, along with Danny McBride ( The Righteous Gemstones); Chris Bernier and Paul Brad Logan are also credited writers on Halloween Ends. When the initial timeline of a movie series still requires you to skip an early sequel, you know things are a bit complicated. And such is the case with Halloween, where you can follow a somewhat serialized story across the first six movies… if you just remove the third one. a b Squires, John (January 19, 2022).

Multiple critics praised the opening sequence, [91] [92] [93] with USA Today 's Brian Truitt calling it "an unnerving, unexpected scene that revels in a sense of parental dread right from the get-go", [94] and The Hollywood Reporter 's David Rooney describing it as "an intriguing detour". [95] Writing for Texas Monthly, Sean O'Neal said Halloween Ends is the most unique film out of Green's trilogy because it is the one that most resembles his independent films. [93] O'Neal wrote, "Strange as it may sound, Halloween Ends contains echoes of Green’s name-making debut George Washington, another small-town tragedy that similarly spun out from the accidental death of a child. And its meditations on the inescapability of violence and the sins of abusive fathers give it a spiritual connection to Joe. The way Corey's bad reputation clouds his romance with Allyson, set up by a match-making Laurie, even recalls All the Real Girls in the film’s slow-burning opening stretch, during which Green seems content just to linger in his prairie gothic tale of grief and sublimated rage". [93] Four years after the events of last year’s Halloween Kills, Laurie is living with her granddaughter Allyson and is finishing writing her memoir. Michael Myers hasn’t been seen since. Laurie, after allowing the specter of Michael to determine and drive her reality for decades, has decided to liberate herself from fear and rage and embrace life. But when a young man, Corey Cunningham, is accused of killing a boy he was babysitting, it ignites a cascade of violence and terror that will force Laurie to finally confront the evil she can’t control, once and for all. Halloween Ends Cast The official release date is set for Tuesday, Dec. 27. Yes, this is a couple of weeks earlier than we predicted it would be. We’d rather set you up for a later release than an earlier one.Roeper, Richard (October 13, 2022). " ' Halloween Ends ': Deteriorating horror franchise deserves its fate". Chicago Sun-Times.

Well, no. Is it scary? Not really. It is more of the same and save that new element to proceedings, it is largely what you expect it to be. There are jump scares, a few kills – though not as much this time around – and the climax you crave, too, and when you get there, it’s again, familiar territory that does pull it off, yet again. Just without the fear or constant forboding that original did and still does so well.
