Gripes with ends
Halloween Ends was a divisive film. I have no doubt that the filmmakers believe that they made a film Where Lori was healing and didn't want to be dictated by fear it hadn't felt made this boogeyman because they were afraid of Michael and so they made Corey into a boogie man of sorts.
Here's the effect the film actually had. The warnings about who Michaels coming felt so limp and impotent that it felt very much evocative of the conjuring 3 where all tension was basically diffused Because the threat had been so severely neutralized. You took Allison who fit John Carpenter's definition of vulnerability when describing Lori Strode in 1978 Halloween. That definition was to have a quality about you that an audience inherently wants to protect.
You wanted to protect Alison Strobe in 2018 and then kills. Allison said that she was all traumatized and people try to say Oh she wanted to help Corey and take care of him. She honestly didn't even act like she gave a **** about Karen being dead or her parents being dead. Now in the book you know it talked about her spending time with her parents' grave crying. You felt the different stages of grief and you felt like she actually gave a **** her parents were dead. The movie it just felt like no I got the hots for Corey because screenwriter wants me to. Now here's the weird thing about Halloween ends. It's a great springboard movie. From comic book to television is a documentary on EC comics talking about how the tales from the crypt comic books were later made into TV show. They talk about springboards and springboards you know Al Feld Stein and Max Gaines and in particular William M Gaines Used a couple of Ray Bradbury stories as springboards were they kind of adapted it and did its own and did their own thing in their stories. That's what Halloween ends could really be because they put out little ideas that just had led a marinade and didn't really have the guts to commit to one and to say for certain this is what's going on.
Because people that use a lame **** excuse well there's got more screen time in Halloween ends than he did in Halloween 1978 yeah, but you felt his presence in Halloween 78 a hell of a lot more than you do in Halloween ends.
the positives of ends
I still gave the film 7 1/2 overall. Before becoming a serial killer, I didn't mind this nice guy courting Allison. You know Allison's beautiful girl I mean obviously. And you do want to protect her. But you do want to kill the bullies and they get killed off and you do want to kill Dr Mathis because he's a prick and a pervert you definitely want to kill **** officer Mulaney. These are all the positives and these are the only angles where the movie even works.
Michael Myers touched Jamie Lloyd's hand at the end of Halloween 4 and it briefly passed Michael's evil on to the child. And a Halloween ends the novel there is speculation that Michael Myers can pass his evil on two of vulnerable susceptible mind. An inmate named Carl back in 1982 killed himself when he was put in a cell too close to Michael Myers. Little girl that's kidnapped by her abusive father looks into Michael Meyer's eyes and boom he hands her the knife, and she kills her dad.
I think this should have been way more pronounced in the movie and I think once Michael's evil transferred into Corey it should have been more like Halloween for and at that point Corey shut the **** ****. Like Cory's and full Michael mode and he either tries to attack Alice and attack Lori or it's like well Michael kills him, but Corey's gone.

Halloween Ends definitely mixed things up! But hey, the kills were satisfying, and the idea of Michael’s evil transferring had potential. Still, it felt more like setting up for something bigger than wrapping it all up.✨
