Leave your thoughts about Halloween Ends.
| Original-CinThom ErnstKnow from the start: Halloween Ends has some of the best kills in the franchise. |
| CineVueChristopher MachellAs blades pierce flesh and Carpenter’s iconic theme swells, the film wrestles with provocative imagery it’s not entirely in possession of, but which is nevertheless rich and layered with meaning. Whether transcendental, idiotic or both, the effect is overwhelming, a catechism for a series that has defined modern horror. |
| IndieWireKate ErblandIf there is one lesson that “Halloween Ends” — hell, that this entire trilogy, this entire franchise — easily imparts, with blood and guts and terror to spare, it’s that horror never really ends. It just takes a different shape. This story surely will, too, but for now, it’s concluded in fine fashion. |
| ObserverDylan RothPrimarily a psychological thriller and a small town drama, Halloween Ends is more interested in exploring the themes of the series than in its lore, and that’s a good thing. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliAlthough Halloween Ends is a better-than-serviceable slasher film, its old-school approach to horror might feel dated in comparison to the flow of new, more intricately plotted films in Hollywood’s post-pandemic pipeline. |
| New York PostJohnny OleksinskiWhat I love about Green’s style is he has both a sense of the grand — he gives Michael’s mask the cinematic weight of Moses’ Ten Commandments slabs — and the goofy. |
| Rolling StoneK. Austin CollinsHalloween Ends is a curious and mostly effective mix of slasher antics and dramatically straight-faced themes. It’s a good enough slasher to provoke laughter in some of its grimmer moments, because the deaths are that ridiculous and the targets are sometimes, unfortunately, a little deserving. |
| UproxxVince ManciniThis is a movie that’s just good enough at a handful of things without really being great at any one. The who’s-going-to-live, who’s-going-to-die of it is compelling enough, though never quite white knuckle intense. And while there is some thematic heft, it’s never explored quite deeply enough to leave you thinking about it after you leave the theater. The acting is solid from top to bottom, if never quite delicious. |
| We Got This CoveredAlejandra MartinezThe latest and (allegedly) last chapter in the Michael Meyers saga, manages to find an ending while having some shaggy and unhinged fun along the way. It might not entirely work, but 'Halloween Ends' takes you on one last wild ride and goes into some pretty unexpected places. |
| Wall Street JournalKyle SmithBeing more ambitious than most films in the horror genre, Halloween Ends also perhaps falls on the wrong side of the divide between being scary in a fun way and being distressingly plausible. |
