The end? of an era...

Written by

It is of course the season for scary movies. On Sunday, I watched "Halloween Ends". This is supposedly the final in the series that goes back 44 years to 1978. Jamie Lee Curtis once again stars in this film, trying to to FINALLY end (how many times is this now? lol) her fight against Michael Myers. I am a big fan of the "Halloween" movies, but I found this one leaving something to be desired.

For full disclosure: I have not seen the previous two films that were released. I was told that was not neccessary to still enjoy this new film - and I agree. While I thought overall the movie wasn't too bad, there was so much of the movie NOT spent on Myers, I found it difficult to remember I was watching a Strode/Myers "Halloween" movie. I still found the movie enjoyable and am glad I watched it. My main takeaway is that if this REALLY IS the last movie in the series, I feel they could have found a way to end a nearly 50 year old story and make the viewer feel more sastisfied.

Maybe it isn't truly "the end?"
