Halloween: Resurrection (2002) is better than this. I watched both back to back last night.
It seriously is.
Resurrection gets hate for retconning the ending of H20, I personally don't care as the continuity for the franchise is a colossal joke and the endings were always getting retconned. These DGG films have retconned the entire series. Forgive and forget. It retconned H20 so what.
It gets hate for the goofy humor scenes, particularly those involving Busta Rhymes.
Others take umbrage with the attempts to be hip and new with the 'live internet horror show'.
Aside from that you have a barebones, basic stalk-n-slash. It's short, to the point, has beautiful women. A light film that has some entertainment value.
Halloween: Ends is a goofy shitfest of the highest degree. The humor that DGG has instilled in these films is peak cringe. Big John, Little John, peanut butter on my penis, stabbed her in the tit...flash evil your tits. The stupid kill scenes intended to make you laugh. Beyond fucking stupid! Goofier and dumber than anything in Resurrection.
The characters in DGGs films are worse. In Resurrection they're your typical late teens/early 20s stock characters. They're honestly more likable and certainly more relatable than anyone in Ends.
The lore reconfiguration is apalling. Jason Goes To Hell levels of bastardization. Resurrection plays it straight and safe, this film shits all over everything.
If you think Ends is better than Resurrection then I have a few things to say;
- When did you last watch Resurrection?
- If it was years ago, give it another spin in hindsight of this shitfest. You may be surprised.
If Resurrection is a 3.9 on IMDB, this should be a 1.5 or so.
