Something horrible happens, but it\u2019s not at all what we come in expecting. It\u2019s much worse.<\/p>\n<p>Some months later, Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis) decides to stop running from her boogeyman and moves out of her (now incinerated) bunker in the woods into a spooky blood-red, two-story home in town. I would\u2019ve picked Punta Cana. But Laurie chooses the sort of property that looks like it can\u2019t sell on Trulia because of the pesky quintuple murder that happened in the living room.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/Film_Review_-_Halloween_Ends.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) meets Corey (Rohan Campbell) in the final chapter of David Gordon Green's &quot;Halloween&quot; trilogy. \" class=\"wp-image-24242930\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/Film_Review_-_Halloween_Ends.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/Film_Review_-_Halloween_Ends.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/Film_Review_-_Halloween_Ends.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) meets Corey (Rohan Campbell) in the final chapter of David Gordon Green\u2019s \u201cHalloween\u201d trilogy. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>She lives with her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) and is working on a memoir.

Not \u201cHalloween Ends.\u201d Green zeroes in on Corey, someone we\u2019ve never met before, and his complex journey and transformation grab us with gusto.<\/p>\n<p>Campbell, a 25-year-old Canadian actor who\u2019s made no American films till now, is a major talent to watch. As Corey, he morphs from handsome and honor-roll to damaged, unhinged and borderline-possessed with little more than solid acting to rely on. (Carpenter\u2019s classic \u201cHalloween\u201d theme music helps, too.) Yet, even as Corey becomes corrupted and Gollum-like, the audience doesn\u2019t stop believing our guy can be redeemed. Right to the end. Then, duhr, we remember we\u2019re at a horror movie \u2014 not \u201cSilver Linings Playbook.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"679\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/Film_Review_-_Halloween_Ends.2.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Laurie and Michael are as formidable of opponents as Godzilla and King Kong. \" class=\"wp-image-24242928\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/Film_Review_-_Halloween_Ends.2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/Film_Review_-_Halloween_Ends.2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/Film_Review_-_Halloween_Ends.2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Laurie and Michael are as formidable of opponents as Godzilla and King Kong. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And Curtis is strong as ever. Her Laurie has become as battle-hardened as a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> on the front lines. There are glimpses of softness beneath her armor, but mostly she exists to be a warrior and protector. Fighting Myers is her raison d\u2019\u00eatre. Laurie and Michael, as far as opponents go, are up there with Godzilla and King Kong.<\/p>\n<p>What I love about Green\u2019s style is he has both a sense of the grand \u2014 he gives Michael\u2019s mask the cinematic weight of Moses\u2019 Ten Commandments slabs \u2014 and the goofy. One death in particular, gory though it may be, is a scream. And the transitions, well-edited by Timothy Alverson, give the movie the ceaseless momentum of a highway chase.<\/p>\n<p>Green seems dead-set on closing the book on his \u201cHalloween\u201d trilogy. The final scenes are, pardon the expression, overkill, but they sure are finite. In the past, Michael has plummeted to the ground or been stabbed, shot, burnt and more. But whenever he falls off that horror-se, the optimistic madman gets right back up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This time, that\u2019ll take some doing.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
