Dark, brutal, and depressing, HalloweenEnds isn't your typical light-hearted slasher flick — but that's why it works.
Editor's note: The below contains spoilers for Halloween Ends.Throughout David Gordon Green's entire new Halloween trilogy, we are regularly reminded that it has been forty years since Michael Myers first came home. The 2018 reboot that followed decades of remakes and reboots would go on to embrace John Carpenter’s original vision. It’s a solid story with bits about grief and trauma sprinkled in, but more than anything, Green set out to make the truest sequel to the original.
No One Can Catch a Break Throughout the film, Corey continues to run into highschoolers, adults, and even Jeremy’s mother , all of whom will not let him outlive the film’s opening set piece. It would be one thing if Corey was a total jerk, but instead he’s a down-in-the-dumps bookworm who’s hung up his dreams of going to college for engineering and resorted to work at his family-owned junkyard.
A Slasher at Heart As the film moves further along in its plot, its slasher elements begin to become more prominent. Whether Corey is teaming up with Michael, leading people to him, or taking matters into his own hands, the fallen protagonist starts picking people off that have either hurt or gotten in the way of both Allyson and himself.
