Halloween Ends (2022)

I think it's better than other reviews are saying.

[7/10 · 17 October 2022]

I really enjoyed it. One complaint I kept reading was the Michael wasn't in it enough considering it's his franchise. I do understand why that's bothersome, and he probably should have been able to shine more in his last movie. That being said, I really liked the additional character (Corey) that he connected with. I found the connection and storyline interesting.

I do think there are several parts that are out of sync with what they've portrayed about Michael. Like how is a guy like Corey going to pretty easily overpower and take the mask of a man who has killed groups of armed people. Also, how is simply cutting Michael's wrist and throat going to put him down after everything he has lived through.

However, I thought the ending to follow was meaningful and powerful (ie the processional with his body). I was also pleased to see him get killed in one of the very few ways that seem to be impossible to come back from (ground into pieces). If they had left his death with just the knife cuts from Laurie that would have been ridiculous due to prior movies, but I thought the grinder was perfect.

Horror or not, I felt like after so many years of this they needed to give the people of that town Justice and closure, and they did.

Escape the Field (2022)

Kept my attention

I would probably give it more of a 5 to 6, but I rated higher to compensate for some of the terrible reviews. I actually found it interesting. It reminded me of a dangerous outdoor escape room. The main issue I have with it was the ending. They could have done so much more with it. If you do watch it, be aware that there is one of those hidden final scenes at the end after a few credits. I could tell by some of the reviews that not everyone stayed on and saw it.
