The only thing you need to know about the first trailer for “Halloween Ends” is that it begins in typical slasher movie style as the camera follows series baddie Michael Myers. Breaking into a house and clearly planning to do more murders, he’s taken by surprise when on the other side of a bedroom door waits O.G. final girl Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), revolver in hand and ready to blast him.
Really, that’s it. If you’re not already sold, call the coroner because you’re probably dead.
Billed as the terrifying conclusion to the horror franchise (we hope that isn’t true, though), the film promises “a final confrontation unlike any captured onscreen before” as Laurie and Michael fight to the death.
Per the official logline, “Four years after the events of ‘Halloween Kills,’ Laurie is living with her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) and is finishing writing her memoir. Michael Myers hasn’t been seen since. Laurie, after allowing the specter of Michael to determine and drive her reality for decades, has decided to liberate herself from fear and rage and embrace life. But when a young man, Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell; “The Hardy Boys,” “Virgin River”), is accused of killing a boy he was babysitting, it ignites a cascade of violence and terror that will force Laurie to finally confront the evil she can’t control, once and for all.”
Curtis returns – sadly for the last time – as Laurie Strode and along with Matichak and Campbell is joined by returning cast Will Patton as Officer Frank Hawkins, Kyle Richards as Lindsey Wallace and James Jude Courtney as The Shape.
