Halloween Ends
Will this be third & final sequel to the 1978 original as the title insinuates? Michael Myers has disappeared & a recent accidental death has changed Haddonfield locals’ focus from the town’s freak show to a new perceived psycho killer. Then bullying & a unlikely bonding connection creates a new town terror. Toss in a bizarre romance story to cloud the issue of where is the main attraction that audiences has come to see. Is this bait & switch? There are jump scares, some bloody & gory killings as well as a climatic battle between Michael Myers & Laurie Strode. Who will survive? I️ can see why some fans may be disappointed & unsatisfied. Will this be the end of this iconic boogeyman? You never know because it’s hard to kill off a good moneymaker. Only time will tell.
Alien gives it 2½ “babysitter” stars out of 4.
