Chicago’s Goodman Theatre presents Wilson’s “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone,” now through May 19th, 2024 (click here).
Film Review: Audiences May Be Grateful that ‘Halloween Ends’
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.”
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.
