  • Technically the Halloween films are four different stories, and one one-off tale told over the course of thirteen films, if my math is right away. Only one of these narrative shifts seem to have been done for creative reasons, while the rest were undertaken in an effort to continue the series and make more money from the Halloween brand. David Gordon Green’s trilogy of films which kicked off in 2018 on the 40th anniversary of John Carpenter’s classic. That’s right, we’re taking a look at Halloween 2018 and attempting to find out WTF Happened to this Horror Movie?

    SERIES SYNOPSIS: Hollywood has had its fair share of historically troubled productions. Whether it was casting changes, actor deaths, fired directors, in-production rewrites, constant delays, budget cuts or studio edits, these films had every intention to be a blockbuster but were beset with unforeseen disasters. Sometimes huge hits, sometimes box office bombs. Either way, we have to ask: WTF Happened To This Horror Movie?

      I genuinely don't understand how any halloween fan can not like kills. It's just 2 hours of Michael Myers killing the absolute shit out of a fuck ton of people. That's it! It's so simple, yet so beautiful! No deep character examination. No social message. Well, I guess there was a bit of a message with the mental patient and the hospital mob. But besides that, it's just Michael Myers decimating an entire town. What's not to love? That is literally all I want in a halloween movie. Look, I love the Laurie Strode character study in halloween 2018, too. But halloween 2018 also had a bunch of awesome Michael Myers kills. And that's ultimately what I'm there for. That's what the problem was with ends. It was all character study and no awesome Michael Myers kills. That's why ends sucks so much.
      Look, I'm a simple man. If you can give me 1 of 2 things in your halloween movie, then I'll be happy. The first thing is: awesome Michael Myers kills. The second thing is: Donald Pleasence being cruel to children. These new halloween movies obviously couldn't do the second thing because, god rest his soul, Donald Pleasence is dead. He's up in heaven doing what he loves most which is, grabbing children by the lepel, lifting them off the ground and then violently shaking them. But the first 2 movies definitely provided a lot of the first thing. And that's all I'm asking for.

    🤨 Laurie Strode’s behavior in this film and in KILLS and ENDS makes absolutely NO sense. She spends 40 years prepping as a PTSD stricken survivalist on the chance that the imprisoned Mikey were to ever break free, whom she could then somehow relay her current address to as to lure him into a killbox?!
    She (and the entire town of Haddonfield whom all have never moved) are petrified with fear because 40 years ago a crazed man kills 5 people in one night and stalks a babysitter.
    THEN 2 years after the events of KILLS, where he had quadrupled his body count, killed her daughter, and is still roaming free, Laurie in ENDS is just ready to move on and be happy?!
    Everyone in these sequels react to Meyers as if all of the other sequels had happened.

      The problem wasn't that he showed up for very little time because you have to remember that in the original he has only 12 minutes of screentime, but in the og the purpose was to create tension and fear. In ends he serves only as a cameo in the first two acts and gets disrespectfully treated

Although I did think HALLOWEEN KILLS had some strong points as well, both KILLS and ENDS didn't need to be made. Now as for 2018, this truly was the franchise back to form and glory. A film with substance and greatness, this was Michael Myers at his finest and Laurie at her best

    Halloween 2018 was the best one. Then kills happened, that created ENDS (both not good) It's like they picked unused Scripts from the 80's & mid 90's that completely switched the tone of realism & took away that what if, like 2018 had created. In a way it's like, 1978's Halloween & 1981's H2, those were good & grounded, then it switched over making Michael "The Suburban Jason" Lol

    Wasn’t the biggest fan of 2018 on first release but after watching it again it’d become my 2nd favourite Halloween of all time. (Behind the 78 of course) it is a shame that Halloween Kills & Ends were what they were as I think Michael burning to death in Lauries basement was the way it should have ended & not the procession scene in Ends where we also see that everyone in Haddonfield has a bat phone.

Though the reception for the 2 succeeding sequels range from mixed to negative, I think we can all agree this sequel is one of the better one's in the franchise and had led to many others being created in the same vein, just as the original did 40+ years ago.

    The thing I hated most about the 2018 film was it wiped away the first sequel. If the reason was to get rid of Lori is Michael's sister plot, they could have said that was just a mix up with some records combined with bad rumor. Because they wipe the movie out entirely, Lori is a crazy person in this movie. Michael never comes for her. They just happen to cross paths again. If she was so convinced he'd come for her, why did she stay so close? Everything she suffers in this movie is simply because she didn't leave town. You keep most of #2 cannon, and her character makes sense.

I can’t stand Kills and Ends, but I will always have a special spot for Halloween 2018 in my heart. Even though it’s not perfect and many questionable choices were made, it’s a solid 7 to 8 out of 10 as far as Halloween sequels go.

    Still wish they left Curtis out of it since H20 already tackled this. The series needed a fresh start with new characters. Didn’t help that they had to trip over themselves to justify the final battle at her house.

    I didn't see this in theaters, but I thoroughly enjoyed this sequel. It was the best decision to make it a direct sequel to the original and take out the brother and sister storyline. That took away from the shear fear of the first one, and showed Michael as an evil creature and not her brother. Plus I also loved how Laurie was portrayed as someone with severe untreated trauma who instead of running away from it (like H20), she just got stuck in it and gave up. I much prefer this trilogy. I enjoyed kills, and liked what they did with it until the very end. Then Ends unfortunately soured for me, but I appreciated Laurie Strodes ending. Can't wait to do my Halloween binge come spooky season!

      @@martinwinter4209 oh yeah her actions are 100% selfish. If she really wanted to protect her familly she should have never do what she did and obsessively planed to meet him again. In a way, she became miserably obsessed with killing him which is ironic. But if you look at it in another way, you can see that the how she went with it by involving her familly in her vengance plans fortifies a vengance agaisnt Michael who is someone that has absolutely no one and never had anyone. Her familly helping her in the end and actually agreeing with her plans shows that she has support and is loved despite everything. It's selfish on her part and dumb on their part but it shows the familly unite she has. In the movie, which i just watched, there is someone saying "in a way him being the predator and her being the prey is what keeps them alive" which would be true for Michael who his only reason to keep being alive is to kill and being the predator. Meanwhile it's not true for Laurie because she has other reason to keep being alive than being a prey. In my opinion of course

What are the particular needs & desires that Laurie has to go & awaken the beast to a blind fury?

    Halloween 2018 is just OK, all it did was copy H20's far better story and did a few things better but also did many things worst! The movie was heavily lacking in many areas such as stalking his victims and playing games with them and no real chase scene! Comedy ruins scenes that should be scary and the horrible mad doctor twist was a really bad call! They should have kept Halloween 2 canon, that would have made Laurie's very over the top PTSD more believable! 2018 could have been great but as of right now it's just OK!

When it was over the 3 off us got out at 1000 pm we got on our bikes and peddled as fast as we could peddle! I was in the lead! We got back to my house and I unlocked it and all 3 of us ran in fast! Mom goes how was the movie boys! I go murder just murder my buddy slugged me in my arm! Lol! That bad ah! My 2 buddies go it was great! Well sit down I made you boys home made pizza. In 1981 samething?! Lol!!!! If she really knew! I'm sure she did! My buddy left the news paper on the table before we left for the show house! 1978 in the paper read Halloween rated R! Texas chainsaw massacre 1974 rated 4 double future. My buddy had them circled! 1978 Battlestar Galactica then Logans run 1976 all circled! Lol one half of the theater was Syfy the other half horror!

He's supposed to be this bad ass serial killer but stays in a mental institution the whole time and then finally he escapes. That don't make sense to me and I really was into the fact that they were siblings cause it made more sense why he would be going after the same women over and over and who ever got in the way was collateral damage but with all that said I think it was good slasher movie and I agree it would have been better just ended it at this movie and not make a trilogy

If this is any mark of Blumhouse I think the new Exorcist may just be not my cup of tea at all.
