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.

Icon Jamie Lee Curtis returns for the last time as Laurie Strode, horror’s first “final girl” and the role that launched Curtis’ career. Curtis has portrayed Laurie for more than four decades now, one of the longest actor-character pairings in cinema history. When the franchise relaunched in 2018, Halloween shattered box office records, becoming the franchise’s highest-grossing chapter and set a new record for the biggest opening weekend for a horror film starring a woman.

Four years after the events of last year’s Halloween Kills, Laurie is living with her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) and is finishing writing her memoir. Michael Myers hasn’t been seen since. Laurie, after allowing the specter of Michael to determine and drive her reality for decades, has decided to liberate herself from fear and rage and embrace life. But when a young man, Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell; The Hardy Boys, Virgin River), is accused of killing a boy he was babysitting, it ignites a cascade of violence and terror that will force Laurie to finally confront the evil she can’t control, once and for all.

Halloween Ends co-stars returning cast Will Patton as Officer Frank Hawkins, Kyle Richards as Lindsey Wallace and James Jude Courtney as The Shape.

If there is a serial killer loose in your neighbourhood and you are a teenager, you really should know that if you have sex, smoke pot or run through the forrest, you are going to die. Add to the list being the small town cop and you know you are going to get bloody.

Now is this cinematic world or repeat mistakes, comes the latest reboot of the Halloween franchise. With the #metoo era paying dividends, it’s a refreshing change when the women are not just victims and this time they get to be the hero and just generally kick ass.

Jamie Lee Curtis returns after decades away and gets to… well you’ll just have to see the film to find out. Horror films are not often this funny, grisly or prone to making you yell warnings at people on the screen who are about to become body count. Please see this with someone you love and you most certainly will loose the circulation in the appendage that they hold on to.
