Would have been better if...


They didn't have that supernatural twist at the end. Kind of took me out of it.

reply

Is it a supernatural twist though?

Doesn't it just make you consider that there might be a supernatural element? Myers could, in reality, have simply crawled a few yards and is dying in the rose bushes or in a hedgerow.

The ending kind of means that Michael haunts everywhere and everyone in Haddonfield (if he didn't already). He doesn't necessarily need to be supernatural to do that.

We're still nowhere nearer to comprehending what Michael is and Loomis's idea that he isn't human is as good as anyone by this point.

It could be so. If that is the case, I am fine with it.

Supernatural or not (and not taking the sequels into account), I find the ending to be one of the most effective in film history. The mysterious Shape still lurks around and it’s a creepy thought.

reply

Absolutely agree ! one of the best creepiest endings ever to any film !

reply

Very effective!
Its been ripped off so many times since that people kind of forget how scary that was!

reply

I've always had mixed feelings about it as well. I know Loomis goes on about him being evil and he shows superhuman strength, but the ending took it to another level. Maybe he should've been shot only once. I do agree with others that it's a creepy ending.

reply

Very creepy...we jumped the first time we saw it!
I loved the ending...just wish the sequals were more than blah...

reply

I don't like the sequels at all. H20 is the only okay one.

reply

Yeah i hear ya
Gonna rewatch #4 upstate pretty soon at a horror marathon show we do every so often...original reels -35mm...drinks in the parking lot between movies...ill probably like it this time lol

I enjoy everything better with alcohol. You should try out Moviechat after a few beers!

reply

Ill give it a try sometime thx!

reply

No scotchka, though. That's how that whole thing with dewey started.

reply

...no idea you crazy oddball...'The Room' shoutout maybe...not sure what 'dewey' means but please be sure to wipe after your 'dewey...'
And shave already you hairy foreign kook!

reply

Wha?! I'm clearly referring to godewey. You didn't really think he's a god named Ewey, now did you???

Why the hell would I shave on a Friday night? Like I said, guys like me hairy all over, and that includes you!;)

reply

That made even less sense than anything that youve ever posted to me...
I salute you!
Still...wipe off that nasty dewey and shave if you wanna chit-chat...i know a lot of you chicks are slobs but still...self respect 'girl'

reply

Why would I need self respect, when I can get any guy on Moviechat that I want. XOXO!
