Halloween slashed its way into theaters and horror fans’ hearts back in 1978. The franchise remained a staple of the genre and essential viewing every October. The original film followed escaped asylum patient Michael Myers who went on a suburban killing spree on Halloween night, terrorizing babysitters like Jamie Lee Curtis’ Laurie Strode and the quiet fictional town of Haddonfield. Since the first film, 12 more entries to the franchise have hit theaters. While some films are more heralded than others, the finale of the Michael Myer saga proved to be the most controversial.Halloween Ends premiered in 2022 to a slew of mixed reviews. Holding a 40 percent critic score and 57 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, opinions on the final installment (for now) of the franchise were divisive at best and outright negative at worst. Some fans even created a petition demanding the movie be remade. The film was a rare case where the polarization still hasn’t gone away and likely never will. Halloween Ends possessed both weak and strong elements, and the odd balance of the two may have doomed it to remain a movie that will always divide fans.Halloween Ends took place four years after the second movie in the reboot trilogy, Halloween Kills. Laurie Strode began healing, Michael moved to the sewers and all seemed right in Haddonfield — until the town turned on local babysitter Corey Cunningham, who accidentally killed the child left in his care. When Corey decided to don his own mask and team up with Michael, Laurie needed to stop her longtime rival and his new assistant for good. The story didn’t seem bad on paper, but the execution left much to be desired in terms of both characterization and plot.RELATED: Michael Myers vs. Jason Voorhees: Which Iconic Slasher Would Win?
