With a franchise that has as many notches on the belt as this one does, it becomes increasingly difficult to come up with anything fresh. The filmmakers behind the latest Halloween episode have done an admirable job of creating something new in the context of what has come before.
Michael Myers still gets to come back from the grave one more time and wreak havoc as is his purview. He also gets to run headlong into the world of mainstay Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis). How this happens is done in a somewhat unique way. No clues as to how that will happen are to be given here.
When the murders do start to ramp up there are few surprises in the gore department but the humour factor gets elevated at times and those laughs are welcome. These works have always been more slasher film than horror and this chapter stays in that wheelhouse.
Even with the title being Halloween Ends, you can never count out Michael Myers from returning to the screen even with the savage way in which they disposed of the body this time. If they can continue to add to the lexicon of the genre, these releases will always be a welcome addition.
