The HALLOWEEN ENDS director breaks down that shocking opening scene

If you haven’t looked Halloween ends however, you may want to skip this one. Spoiler ahead! This post contains information on the film’s shocking and brutal opening scene.

Before moving on, I was really a little disappointed with Halloween Ends. I was super excited about this movie, but there were so many things that didn’t make much sense. I liked the concept they were trying to go with, but I don’t think it was executed correctly. It probably also didn’t help that the audience in the theater I saw him in were laughing throughout the film like it was a comedy. I’ll have to review it because the first viewing didn’t work. I also felt that the pacing of the film was wrong and there were holes in the story.

Now, to the meat to the meat of the article! Halloween ends it starts very differently than the first two films. Director David Gordon Green’S Halloween it opened with a scene where Michael Myers was confronted in a psychiatric institution and reunited with his mask. Halloween kills opened with a fun flashback of the night Myers was caught in 1978. Halloween ends begins with a series of events leading up to a hectic Halloween night involving Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell) and the death of a boy who was babysitting.

This sets the tone for the film and Myers isn’t really in most of the film. The story focuses primarily on Cunningham and how the tragic events of that night affected his life. The director offered some insight into the film’s opening scene during an interview with CB saying:

“When [John] Carpenter did his first Halloween film in 1978, there was the working title of “The Babysitter Murders”. One of the things we wanted to look at was the subgenre of that. Watch a movie like When a stranger calls and stuff like that and movies that influenced some of our choices in an opening. And we wanted to have an opening, a cold opening that nobody knew anyone about, none of these players belonged to the legacy of Halloween so we could start aiming for something that was a little different from our previous two installments. The film’s font is also blue instead of orange when we’re shooting the title sequences, which is a small nod to Halloween III: Season of the Witch, which was her breakthrough for the franchise. “

Green went on to talk about the film as a whole by saying:

“I have to say that I wanted this to really work, and the ambition we had to do something different, to do something outside the box, that invites some of the tropes and clichés we’re trying to honor from within not just the Halloween franchise, but within the slasher genre, he wanted to bring some of that, then show people a new vision and blend things like a love story through it. “

I understand. I actually like what they were trying to do with the film, there were so many situations where common sense was thrown out the window, especially the relationship between Cunningham and Andi Matichakit’s Allison. I don’t know how it escalated so quickly. That opening scene of the movie was awesome! I loved the opening scene! After that, she just lost me.

Anyway, I liked some aspects of the film and will give it another try in a different setting. So many people tell me it’s good, so yeah, I’ll try again. Halloween ends it’s in theaters and on Peacock now.
