Review: ‘Halloween Ends’ is a fun, jagged ending for Laurie and Michael

Horror endings are hard to do. They’re even more difficult when there is the added weight of decades of expectations and fan desires on top of sticking the ending. Halloween Ends, the latest and (allegedly) last chapter in the Michael Meyers saga, manages to find an ending while having some shaggy and unhinged fun along the way. It might not entirely work, but Ends takes you on one last wild ride and goes into some pretty unexpected places.

Opening four years after the events of Halloween Kills, we find Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Allyson (Andi Matichak) living together and taking things a day at a time. In the wake of their heavy losses in the last film, the two women have taken different routes in their respective journeys with grief: Laurie has decided to “Live, Laugh, Love” it up and embrace the joy and light she can find — she’s sober, working on a book about her experiences, and living again. Allyson, on the other hand, is in a much different place — she’s angry, and still very much working through her feelings about losing her mom and then-boyfriend. At least Michael Meyers, or “The Shape” (James Jude Courtney), is gone for now, right?
