Halloween Ends begins with a really well-crafted chilly open. On Halloween 2019, babysitter Corey (Rohan Campbell) watches a younger boy whereas the boy’s mother and father attend a celebration down the road. Corey and the boy have enjoyable watching scary films collectively, however the night time takes a terrifying flip when the boy dies from a horrible fall and Corey’s blamed for it.

The film delivers fairly a curveball that we didn’t see coming (Corey turns into a follower of Michael’s), and whereas we type of beloved it, it was fairly a threat to tackle one thing so heavy simply earlier than the curtain closed. However if you happen to ask us, it paid off ultimately. The kills are memorable, Kyle Richards returns (once more) as Lindsey Wallace, there’s respect for the franchise at massive (even some nods to Halloween III: Season Of The Witch), and Laurie’s last battle with Michael will go away you cheering one second and gasping the following. It might not be the strongest entry within the long-standing franchise, however Halloween Ends is now one among our favourite Halloween films.
