Review of Halloween Ends (2022) by Mikufan84 — 30 Oct 2022
Halloween does indeed come to an end, but unfortunately, so does the franchise's dignity. This movie triumphantly shows its new OC, Corey as the successor to Michael but also doesn't treat Michael with the same amount of menace or respect we've come to known him in other films.
Rather, it has Michael merely as a concept and an idea that we as the audience, must project the idea that evil is not the Boogeyman, but a transferrable virus caused by our nurture. Michael contradicts this idea and is evil by nature.
Therefore, the film treats him as a disposable entity, contradicting the themes in Halloween 2018 and Ends. This movie tries further to be more subversive and reject Michael but in the end, can't hold enough of its plot to find proper pacing, a consistent message and enough screen time for Michael to have any impact or menace.
A very poor movie indeed. I like Corey as a character, but not at the cost of him becoming an object for the film's message about society being corrupted by violence and pain.
