#MEANDER ENDING EXPLAINED FULL#
I do not know if slasher film franchises, like politicians, ugly buildings, and whores, get respectable if they last long enough, but I will at least say that Halloween Kills is sort of beyond criticism - if you're the sort of person who watches this sort of film, there's nothing that would reasonably keep you away from this particular example, even if you, like me, walked into it in the full expectation of not liking it.Ĭall it a self-fulfilling prophecy if you must, but lo and behold, I found Halloween Kills to be a pretty unsatisfactory and unnecessary - maybe even actively misguided! - affair. Consider it this way: as of Halloween Kills, the Halloween franchise has pulled up even with the Friday the 13th series in a two-way tie as the second-longest American horror franchise in history, by number of entries * only the murderously terrible direct-to-video Witchcraft series has more entries to its credit. Nonetheless, one has to offer it a kind of dumb, surly, begrudging respect, simply for the fact that it was hauled into existence at all. No, Halloween Kills doesn't work, it would have been almost more surprising if it did. When faced with the twelfth entry in a franchise that has been running for 43 years and in that time produced, if we are being spectacularly generous, four actually good entries (and I think it would be easier to defend the claim that only the very first one is actually good than that a whole four movies reach that threshold), "did this work?" is almost a stupid question.
