According to Rotten Tomatoes, the current score for “Halloween Kills” as of press time is a middling 47%. This consensus comes from the 66 critics who have reviewed the movie so far, meaning this number could shift considerably as more reviews come in for the horror film. Still, things aren’t looking good so far for the end of the “Halloween” saga.

“Like watching a backdoor pilot episode for a “Tales of Haddonfield” anthology horror series, where scary things happen on October 31 but are only tangentially related to the original films,” said William Bibbiani of The Wrap. Meanwhile, Jason Bailey of The Playlist offered a similarly grim take on “Halloween Ends,” remarking: “I’ll say this: even as a fan of the franchise, when the title came up at the end of “Halloween Ends,” I found myself hoping to God they weren’t kidding.”

Still, not everyone’s opinion of the slasher sequel was quite so dour. “Halloween Ends achieves a lot within the frame of a horror sequel, making it more than a monster movie, but a human story as well,” said Adam Graham of The Detroit News. While many viewers will no doubt be rushing out to theaters to find out for themselves this spooky season, it looks like “Halloween Ends” will definitely be splitting audiences if these early indications are anything to go off of.
