Halloween Ends is bad

The difference between it and something like the Hellraiser reboot is how it treats the material. Hellraiser feels truer. Not trying to be a direct sequel, but showing someone mess with the Lament Configuration and summoning Pinhead. I think Halloween's issue is that it's reaching back and trying to be a sequel.

There is a theme where some of the story works as it's own movie, but unfortunately relies on mythos....which is it's undoing.

Follow up: Hellraiser was better because I won't mind seeing another entry. It's self contained. If we get more, it's just another poor soul with snow addiction to a sin.

Halloween...this wasn't good, but I also provided finality to a point where I don't want to see Michael. I was never his biggest fan, but I enjoyed whatever came out a couple years ago.

What makes Michael scary (no supernatural event), is what hurts his logical longevity. I get more out of other killers.

@L_D_G I didn't think it was bad, but it also wasn't brilliant or anything. Hellraiser wasn't all that good either, besides the last 20 minutes or so.

I think both movies has serious pacing problems, and I guess a lack of a cohesive and solid through-line for the narrative in both. At least neither of them are as bad as Terrifier 2?

@L_D_G I was disappointed with both. Neither was worth the time spent. You make good points.
