[ NOTES ]

Well, that was something different. A Halloween film which has Michael Myers in it, but isn't about Michael Myers. This is the third film in a recent trilogy, with the first two being Halloween (2018) and Halloween Kills. I have not seen either of those films, and I could not procure a copy of the trilogy set by press time, so I don't know if the new protagonist Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell) is the main character in those films, as well, or if he's introduced here. Ends is not a bad film overall, but it might be the worst Halloween film of the dozen or so films that bear that title.

Halloween Ends (2022) is available on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD. It is the third film in the recent trilogy, which is available as a three-disc set on 4K UHD and Blu-ray.
