HalloweenEnds director David Gordon Green defends Michael Myers' minimal screen time in the trilogy finale. 'At a point we all just looked at each other and said, ‘We’re taking a big risk here, but it does feel right, and we know we're getting into...'
David Gordon Green defends the decision of limiting Michael Myers' screen time in Halloween Ends. Set four years after the events of Halloween Kills, the movie sees Laurie Strode confronting The Shape one last time as he comes out of hiding during Halloween night in Haddonfield. Meanwhile, granddaughter Allyson starts to fall in love with Corey Cunningham , who trains with Myers to become Haddonfield's next "Shape.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In a surprising turn of events, Michael Myers and Laurie Strode take a massive backseat as Halloween Ends devotes its focus to Corey Cunningham, the newest character of the franchise. After being attacked by a group of teenagers, Cunningham accidentally meets Michael Myers in a sewer. The Shape initially strangles him, but sees darkness lurking inside of Cunningham, choosing to then spare his life.
"It's still a controversy today. I just watched the movie outside of a technical format, meaning in a sound mix or a color correction, for the first time two days ago. We really just finished this movie. [Laughs] So two days ago, and I'm watching it, and I'm like, ‘We’re asking a lot.’ But then when we were in the editing room, and we would do [it] differently, it felt wrong.
Was Halloween Ends A Satisfying Closure For Fans? With Halloween Ends limiting the screen time of both Michael Myers and Laurie Strode, the film received a middling reception from both critics and fans. Additionally, given the movie's focus on Corey's descent into darkness as Allyson grows closer to him, many believed that it did not correctly pay off what was initially established in the 2018 Halloween reboot and in Halloween Kills.
However, because the film devoted most of its time to exploring Corey Cunningham's "evil" awakening inside of him to show that Michael Myers is one of the many Shapes that could grow in Haddonfield, Laurie Strode's latest ending is yet another unsatisfying closure.
