Halloween Ends (2022)

Halloween Ends

• Well, this was about what I was expecting. It’s not a good movie, and it’s such a disappointing note in the franchise. I think I *barely* like this more than ‘Halloween Kills’, but it still sucked. The whole first half was so slow and poorly written, with hardly anything interesting happening. I know they were trying to build up the characters and lead to a fun third act, but it failed. I liked all the action scenes, which were gory and exciting. Especially the car lot massacre, that was pretty entertaining. But besides the big chase/kill scenes, it’s just a slow boring drama that was way too long. Most of the characters were garbage, and the acting was atrocious. Jamie Lee Curtis is cool and all but I think the only Halloween movie where she is a truly good character is the first one (and maybe the 2018 one). And Michael was Michael. Nothing new, but still strong and cruel like always. Overall, trash story, trash characters, somewhat fun kills, but still a shoddy movie. I wouldn’t recommend it.
