“Halloween Ends” finally hits theaters, marking the end of the new trilogy inspired by the classic franchise launched in 1978 by director John Carpenter, but it seems that it has not lived up to its promises.
In addition to a low 40% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, audiences also didn’t buy the tale and gave it a C+ on CinemaScore, after receiving the trilogy’s lowest rating. . In comparison, “Halloween Kills: The Terror Continues” received a B- grade.
Despite poor reception, the title received praise from Carpenter.
As many fans know, the filmmaker’s feature set the tone for the slasher subgenre, with his film focusing primarily on immortal villain Michael Myers as he hunts down nanny Laurie Strode on Halloween night.
Strode, who is central to the new trilogy, is played by Jamie Lee Curtis – of whom Carpenter is a big fan.
Have fun watching:
While chatting with MovieMaker, Carpenter praised the “risks” of “Halloween Ends” and Curtis’ extraordinary acting, saying:
“It went super well! I liked it a lot. It’s quite different [dos outros filmes da franquia]. I liked the risks taken in the plot. Jamie [Lee Curtis] it’s just amazing. She is just wonderful and I am so proud of her.
“Four years after the events of ‘Halloween Kills’, Laurie lives with her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) as she finishes writing her memoir. Michael Myers has not been seen since. After being haunted by her presence for decades, Laurie is determined to let go of her fear and start living.But when a young man, Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell), is accused of killing a boy he was babysitting, the return of the violence and terror will force Laurie to finally face the evil she cannot control, once and for all.”
