CHICAGO – Experienced horror fans will recognize this, but anytime a long running franchise has to resort to Telekinesis, you know you’re in for trouble. It didn’t work for Jason, It didn’t work for Freddy, It didn’t work for Michael Myers the first time he tried it in “Halloween 5” … it most certainly does not work here in “Halloween Ends.”

HollywoodChicago.com Oscarman rating: 1.0/5.0
Rating: 1.0/5.0

This film picks up four years after the events of Halloween Kills, with Laurie Stroud (Jamie Lee Curtis) now a kindly old grandma whose biggest shock is when she sets off the smoke alarm while trying to bake a pie. She’s decided to take a stab at normalcy after decades of paranoia, and plow her experiences and feelings into a book … until Michael Myers makes his inevitable return.

“Halloween Ends” opens in theaters and streams on Peacock October 14th. Featuring Jamie Lee Curtis, Rohan Campbell, Andi Matichak, Kyle Richards and Will Patton. Written by David Gordon Green, Danny McBride, Chris Bernier and Paul Brad Lynn. Directed by David Gordon Green. Rated “R”
