Halloween Ends (2022)

Written by r96sk on лістапад 1, 2023

My favourite of the most recent three, if not of them all.

'Halloween Ends' gave me more than I was expecting, if I'm honest. After the solid if slightly underwhelming 'Halloween Kills' I thought this may fall further adrift but, happily, it doesn't. I think that I like this the most of all twelve entries after the original, which is probably still a jot above this one in my mind.

I won't repeat myself too much as I've summed up my overall thoughts on this franchise in prior reviews of those other flicks, but in short I enjoyed this release more consistently throughout and the characters actually interested me a fair amount.

Jamie Lee Curtis is, obviously, the star of the show, but Rohan Campbell is a great addition and Andi Matichak gives her best showing of these David Gordon Green films. In previous installments the cast behind (or sometimes in place of) Curtis have failed to truly entertain me, perhaps aside from the first one and (minimally) 'Halloween H20: 20 Years Later', but here I was happy to follow the scenes involving those behind Curtis.

I will say that the third act lost me a little in terms of interest, though that's only ever so slightly as all in all I had a good time with this. Let's hope they end this franchise here but I highly doubt that they will - gotta catch that £!
