Halloween Ends (2022)
For a long time, “Halloween” has been a lot about the inexplicable evil that arose in Haddonfield. But what Danny McBride and director David Gordon Green attempt to do is explain that Michael Myers is only symptomatic of what resides at Haddonfield. Like everywhere in humanity, there always has to be a scapegoat for to pit hatred and fear on to something, and Michael Myers was for a long time the epicenter of it in Haddonfield. “Halloween Ends” explores more the idea of evil as an amorphous entity rather than a maniac in a mask. While Michael Myers was every bit as evil and a force of darkness as we saw in “Halloween,” the final film in the new trilogy takes a step back to look deeper in to the darkness.
The Exorcist: Believer (2023)
It’s been pretty much the consensus that “The Exorcist” is one of those rare lightning in the bottle cinematic achievements that has yet to find a contemporary in its massive sub-genre. Over the years, studios have fought to build a classic in the same vein, and now Blumhouse has tried their hand at continuing the cinematic adaptation of “The Exorcist.” While its arrival has pretty much squashed any and all attempts at forward momentum that the “Halloween” movies had, “Believer” actually ends up as a pretty okay reboot. It’s by no means as terrible as “The Heretic” but David Gordon Green has a lot to do if he hopes to achieve any kind of success with the next two films in his series.
At this point whether or not there will be a follow up remains to be seen.
