    They tease the audience with a possible ‘heir to the mask’..what they do with that..you’ll have to watch the movie to see. The end was not expected I have to say. This finale is worth watching and one fans will enjoy theorising over for decades and generations to come.

    La verdad soy muy fan de la saga, pero esta última entrega al no ser editada en México, tuve que esperarme a que bajara un poco de precio para comprarla, ya que 1,000 pesos se me hacía mucho! Pero después de una larga espera la encontré a un precio más accesible y llegó en perfecto estado.

    A nice DVD.
    Let’s face it…this movie sucks. But, hey, it’s better than Halloween Kills maybe. Anyway, for what it is, this DVD will will help you close the final chapter until they’re completely undone by the next reboot. It has special features and such, but it’s a cheap way to complete your collection with a trilogy that started off strong but ended…well, like this. We love Jamie Lee. But damn.

    November 1st The Movie.
    The Good: There is a lot of good in Halloween Ends. For starters, the acting among the leads is excellent across the board. Jamie Lee Curtis has always been an underrated actress, and she is clearly having a blast with this role. There is a nice subplot where the town kind of blames her for her brother’s killing spree and it requires her to shift gears sometimes in the same scene.While Jamie Lee Curtis is unsurprisingly solid, Rohan Campbell hits it out of the park. Even people who hate his character and his presence in the movie have to admit he is superb in the role. I kept thinking when they invariably reboot Batman again, he would make a perfect Joker.Rounding out our main characters is Andi Matichak who, like Rohan above, plays a character that certainly could be divisive. But she sells her character’s illogical choices and apparent onset of furor uterinus upon meeting Rohan (She is Judy Greer’s daughter in universe so that does fit.)As for the plot like it or hate it (I will be covering some of the hate it below) it certainly goes in a different direction than you might expect. There is a nice feel to the movie. It takes its time setting up its universe before unleashing the reason for the season. The film is also well shot with the opening bit and a couple of the kills being real standouts.he Bad: If you were invested in the current remake trilogy, I understand the disappointment in the film. When we last saw Michael Myers, he was a superhuman force, killing people like Cao Cao in Dynasty Warriors. And suddenly he is Pennywise from It living in the sewer with bad knees and a slipped disc. {Or maybe Louis at the end of Interview with a Vampire (The book not the movie) living off of worms and rats too weak to move in early 20th century New Orleans.}Now Halloween films have never been known for thier continuity per se. (Everyone talks about how Michael Myers cannot be killed, but what about Laurie Strode? She dies in Halloween 4, Halloween H20, Halloween Resurrection, The second Halloween II.) The plot seems a bit off, however, with Michael missing after killing half the town and the previously vigilant Laurie is now putting up Halloween decorations and working on her book without a care in the world.In fact, it is not just Lauries’s house is very decorated for Halloween (She has jack-o’-lanterns in her upstairs office) the entire town seems to go all out for Halloween. I would have expected maybe a candlelight vigil or a subdued ceremony, not a costume rager a few years after the Halloween massacre.I mostly know Danny McBride from his small but pivotal role in 2013’s This Is the End, but he is one of the main writers and producers in this trilogy. And I have a feeling he is taking the piss out of Halloween fans. Our main character (Rohan Campbell) introduced for the film (an adult, mind you) is bullied throughout the film by (checks notes) teenage band geeks. I am not making this up. His tormentors are literally band geeks. Even stranger, the head geek sounds like Tony Soprano’s illegitimate soon working the day shift bartending at the Bada Bing!.Not since the lead in Laserblast was tormented by Grease’s Eddie Deezen has the bully/victim dynamic been so confusing. So when our band geek bullied lead beats up Michael Myers and takes his mask… well, if I were a die hard Halloween fan, I would start looking into burning the theatre down.Speaking of Michael Myers, he does eventually show up and start doing Michael Myers type things. He is barely in his own film. This is not a Halloween III: Season of the Witch situation, however, or even a more accurately Friday the 13th: A New Beginning. It is more like going to a Godzilla film and sitting through seventy minutes of a young Japanese boy in shorts and his adventures just for Godzilla to show up in the last ten minutes and knock one building down.The Ugly: I watch Godzilla films for people in monster outfits destroying models of Japanese cities. I watch Halloween movies to watch Michael Myers stalk teenagers while great techno music plays in the background. As good as this movie is, there simply is not enough Michael Myers hunting teenagers and when there is you miss it even more.Also, I don’t recall any nudity or drug use in the film. Which is disappointing for a slasher film. Friday the 13th: A New Beginning may not have had Jason Voorhees in it, but it definitely did not forget the drugs and sex that, along with the violence, make the charcuterie board of depravity that is an entertaining slasher film.In Conclusion: I enjoy Halloween movies. I enjoyed Halloween Resurrection for God’s sake. I enjoyed Halloween Ends. It tries some new things, and it does not play it safe. In fact, it goes in some directions I did not spoil above that really surprised me. Great for those not to emotionally invested in the trilogy.

    Halloween (1978) And Beyond: The Definitive Collective Of Sequels …Why!
    “Halloween Ends,” is a single story, but it has many faces. As a single film it succeeds to do two important things that most sequels, especially in the horror genre, fail to ever do. (1) It introduces a new element that creates the motivation for it to be both relevant as a sequal and as an actual story itself. (2) To be a true story it must evolve beyond its origin film and present two important questions that are aswered and reflect the spirit of the original film. These two important questions: where is this going, and will it actually get their–in tune with the bigger mission. This is the purpose of a real story; its providing a reasonable origin event that follows a full and unpredictable story arc. The mission in the case of most sequels is to remain true and carry the bigger story it is continuing to tell because in the larger picture it is only a subplot of the actual Story, which in this case is “Halloween!” “Halloween,” (1978); “Halloween,” (2018); “Halloween Kills,” (2021); & “Halloween Ends,” (2022) minus every other sequel in the franchise are a full story that remains true to the spirit and origin themes established in “Halloween,” (1978). My opinion, the best story and best story arc is rendered in these four films, And this is why as a fan of the Original, I give “Halloween Ends” Five Stars. This holds true for “Halloween” (2018) and “Halloween Kills!”It took 40 years to correct the proceeding trainwreck that followed this highly regarded and arguably top five if not the best horror film in its class, it was the defining film that gave birth a whole knew type of horror film soon after dubbed the slasher film. Further resoning: in the horror/slasher genre the majority of sequels brush the importance of story aside due to the false notion that the strength and success of the first film has opened the door for the introduction of anything that leads to the immediate return to an ampliphied mix of slaughter and novelty in the method and manner of death in each kill scene as each death is checked off the list. The list I’m referencing is actually the screenplay for the film. The result is the the introduction of implausable plot lines, a crowd of new characters all characitures of the predefined prey established in the first film, none of which you care about or even consider people, just numbers in the ever rising body count. This formula trumps all logic because the Studio executives believe that this is what delivers what the fans actually want–Bullshit–it destroys the the tone, and atmosphere established in the first film and begins the nonsensical journey from the root values of that first film set in the quiet and idealic smalltown of say Meyers Ville, Indiana, and lands itself by the 11th sequal on the moon, under a biodome, where an intergalatic Rave is underway after the Space Academy Graduation ceremony; and the killer who has been incinerated, disintergrated in a vat of acid, and chained to the tip of an ICBM carrying a 60 megaton hydrogen bomb that was launched into deep space and exploded (in three of the proceeding sequels) is back for revenge, without any explanation. This is true of all of “Halloween’s” sequals with the exception of It’s first sequal “Halloween 2” (1981) which was a well done immediate continuation of the first film, introducing some new plot points that gave motivation to the ongoing murder spree by connecting Micheal and Laurie Biologically. However; this is because the second film was more like what today we would call “Halloween,” The Extended Edition; it picks up at the very ending of the first film and the same principle characters continue to try to find and stop Michael. This sequal concludes with the definitive incineration of both Dr. Loomis and Michael Meyers, thus; concluding the full story, and ending the riegn of Michael Meyers. They effectively closed the door on the notion of the release of any “plausable” sequals thereafter. However, they decided they could cash in one more time and strategized the infamous “Halloween 3: Season Of The Witch,” (1982) which, instead of resurrecting the sole reason that drew in the fans, they committed something far worse, as the third film had 100% nothing to do with the first two films Michael has a Cameo in the movie and this just highlights the real issue with this film, putting aside the movie was rediculousley bad, period, and that’s an understatement. The most terrible aspect of the release of this movie was its disingenious association to the “Halloween Franchise,” and its adoption of being titled “Halloween 3!” It was not the 3rd installment of anythng; it was not a sequal to “Halloween!” Why the deception–Money, Money, Money?! Its deserving title was: “Terrible Piece Of Shit first and Last: Halloween–All Trick No Treat!” It was many moons later when they finally ressurected both Michael, and Dr. Loomis, “Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers,” (1988) by pretending the massive ether explosion that is being fed by upwards of 10 or more high pessure tanks and the resulting clearly visable fire that was raging with them both trapped within it, even showing Micheal completely engulfed and collapsing as the inferno only intensifies around him while he trys to walk out of it, and he is clearly burning from head to foot rapidly being consumed–incineration. However, this definitive event via movie magic depicts the result of being in such a massive explosion and further left burning in a raging fire of burning ether (for hours), that was being fed by the numerous tanks releasing the chemical into the room as survivable (Side note: Ether fires cannot be put out by water, and an ether fire that is continuing to be fed by ether is not to be fought until the ether is exhausted. The spraying of such a fire with water only serves to spread it, thus considering the location and the inability to see the state of the pressurized tanks within would have halted the fire fighters attack plan and changed their stratedgy to containment of the fire only. Given the low tempeture that ether ignites at 320 degrees F; it is enevitable those tanks would have exploded due to pressure and tempeture. The fire fighters would have to have remained a safe distance from the fire while attempting to flood the outside of the building and surrounding structures in a cloud of water to try to keep the fire from spreading, thus; realistically it would have taken many hours before that fire could have been brought under control never mind exstinguished). Regardless the event only resulted in some serious topical burns for both characters, though michael appeared to have been burned the worse, when oddly Loomis who remained in the heart of the fire and was only human (Michael endures being stabbed in the neck with a knitting needle, the eye with a coat hanger, being stabbed in the stomach with a knife and then being shot 6 times at close range and falling two stories to the ground, additionally he is shot several more times in the second movie by Loomis and shot twice in the head through each eye by Laurie before the big burn providing clear evidence that death did not come easy to Michael, if at all; yet Loomis has less burn damage, recovers from the seemingly fatal stab wound Michael inflicts just before Loomis ignites the ether; though he is left with a raspy voice and does walk with a limp requiring a cane–no one cared, Michael was back)!Every other sequal launched a Michael Meyers return with new plot points that were so confusing they were never explained, and with each release of the next terrible sequal that had no value as a continuation (single story) even though “Halloween 6: The Curse Of Michael Meyers unleashes the thread that supposedly connects all the movies, it is simultaneously the most destructive revelation that kills the entire franchise. Not so shocking why “Halloween H2O” (1998) completely abandons this plot line, and abandons sequal 4 through 6 completely.Heres a few examples of plot points introduced and never explained, nor carried over to the next sequal and clarified: (1) Michael overhears two orderly’s discussing the fact that his sister, Laurie Strode is dead–car accident–but her daughter, his niece is living with another family that adopted her. This leads to the reawakening of Michael’s murderous rage and he escapes and sets off to kill her. Conclusion: he is determined dead by the films end, but his niece takes up Michael’s mantle in the closing scene as we hear her stab her foster mother to death with a pair of scissors. Again the next sequal drops this premise and inserts that her foster Mother was not killed just injured. (2) A cowboy dressed in black gets off a bus and disapears with Michael who was locked up in a prison cell and wrapped in chains: to be concluded–not at all–(I don’t think their is a continuation from a cowboy who is dropped off from a bus at the State Police Barracks in the middle of the night and then in the span of 5 minutes shoots up the entire station sets off an explosion and rescues/disappears with Michael via a back door to the station–appearently they caught the next bus out of town. (3) Michael Meyers is revealed to have been cursed by a cult that stems back to ancient times, the leader of the cult is Dr. Wynn who is the Administrator at Smith’s Grove Sanitarium in the first film and later returns in Halloween 6: the Curse Of Michael Myers to explain the interconnection of all the movies and the origin of Michael Meyers, which is just a horrible plot point that destroys the power and Mystery Of Michael Meyers. (4) Michael Meyers breaks into the house of the Nurse that was caring for the now deceased Dr. Loomis… Why? No idea, but while searching through Dr. Loomis’s Files he finds a File Labeled Laurie Strode, the implication is that he now knows she faked her death, and is living under a new identity as Head Mistress of a Private school. When did Micheal learn to read? Why did he decide to become a private investigator, where has he been for 20 years, and what has he been waiting for…why now does he return to search for Laurie Strode. This again is a follow-up sequal to “Halloween 2” (1981) which again discounts that Both Michael and Dr Loomis Died at the end of “Halloween 2,” regardless what has he been doing for 20 years? (5) A social media event via the internet suddenly becomes a live killathon from the old Meyers house with contestants who are locked in the house and must spend the night–cash prize included. Michael unexplainably shows up without explanation. This is the last of the Sequals that make no sense. What follows is the Rob Zombie “Halloween 1 & 2,” remakes. This is then followed by “Halloween” (2018) you know the rest of this story. Be assured “Halloween Ends” (2022) is not the last sequal; however, it is the last in the Blumhouse Trilogy that oversaw the production of the last three sequals!
