Halloween Ends
Four years after the events of Halloween in 2018, Laurie has decided to liberate herself from fear and rage and embrace life. But when a young man 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.
Why it matters
A fractured finale that leans into character drama over pure slasher thrills, testing what a Michael Myers showdown can look like in 2020s horror.
- Jamie Lee Curtis gives a grounded, emotionally raw performance anchoring Laurie’s final reckoning.
- Subverts franchise expectations by sidelining Myers’ mythic menace for a humanized, chaotic new antagonist.
- Frustrating pacing and narrative gaps dilute the tension, making kills less impactful than in previous entries.
- For fans invested in Laurie’s journey, it offers closure; for slasher purists craving relentless terror, it may feel like a misfire.
