HALLOWEEN ENDS

Product Information

In June 2022, two weeks of re-shoots took place in Savannah. [58] However, these re-shoots only lasted four days and were completed that same month. [59] [60] As with most of his films since his very first assembly, Green test screened Ends to see if it engaged audiences or not. After several test screenings, the original final confrontation between Laurie Strode and Michael Myers as well as the ending sequence were discarded, and re-shoots for new scenes took place, four months ahead of the film's premiere. The climatic procession sequence, when Michael Myers' corpse is paraded to all surviving Haddonfielders and disposed of inside an industrial shredder, was a late addition to the film that was shot around August 2022 after Green and his crew concluded that they wished for "something more grand" for the film's ending. It was decided that the film's conclusion should be more "modest" and "intimate" with some story points as opposed to a brawl like the "super noisy and aggressive" ending of Kills, with Green wishing to return the series to its "simple dramatic roots".

How does Halloween Ends compare to some of the best entries in the franchise? Unfortunately the general consensus is not well. Stoklasa, Michael; Bauman, Jay (October 19, 2022). "Half in the Bag: Halloween Ends". Red Letter Media . Retrieved October 28, 2023. Halloween Ends is rated R. R stands for 'Restricted', which means children under 17 require accompanying parent or adult guardian. The movie contains some adult material and parents are urged to learn more about the movie. 5.0 Halloween Ends is a 2022 American slasher film directed by David Gordon Green and co-written by Green, Danny McBride, Paul Brad Logan and Chris Bernier. It is the sequel to Halloween Kills (2021), the thirteenth installment in the Halloween franchise, and the final film in the trilogy of sequels that started with the 2018 film, which directly follows the 1978 film. The film stars Jamie Lee Curtis, Andi Matichak, Rohan Campbell, Will Patton, Kyle Richards, and James Jude Courtney. The plot follows the outcasted Corey Cunningham who falls in love with Laurie Strode's granddaughter while a series of events, including crossing paths with Michael Myers, drives him to become a serial killer.

To be fair - I didn’t hate Halloween Ends. I do not think this is the worst film of the franchise. I actually thought the character of Corey was a genuinely brilliant addition to the franchise. I thought that Laurie Strode masking her pain by trying to be “tits-out” domestic grandma was a smart avenue for her character as she and Allyson cope with their loss. I loved all of this stuff because it felt real and emotionally raw and was actually a smart path to take for a franchise riddled with stupidity. My problem with Halloween Ends is this was the exact wrong time to pull this particular story card. I thought it was a good idea, though. I thought it was really beautifully written, and it felt like a dance, like an opera, kind of. But it was also a little bit of a bummer, mostly because I like to play with my friends." Michael escapes Laurie's basement, thanks to some poorly timed heroism from the local fire department, and embarks on yet another killing spree in Halloween Kills. The Haddonfield residents band together to kill Michael once and for all -- "evil dies tonight!" -- but, as expected, Michael narrowly avoids death and continues his string of brutal murders, culminating in the film's most significant kill, when Michael stabs Laurie's daughter Karen. Halloween Ends was written by Paul Brad Logan, Chris Bernier, Danny McBride, and David Gordon Green. It was directed by David Gordon Green and stars the following actors: Halloween Ends is Rated R for bloody horror violence and gore, language throughout, and some sexual references.
