Trailer
Why watch this film?
Movie that concludes the story started in 'Halloween' 2018 (ignoring all previous films, except the original from 1978) and continued by 'Halloween Kills: The Terror Continues'. Directed again by David Gordon Green, 'Halloween Ends' begins four years after Michael Myers' last appearance, with Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) finally finding some peace. The movie introduces a new character with whom it intends to close a narrative about trauma, fear, prejudice, and marginalization told by its two predecessors. It doesn't always work out and, in fact, ends up leaving Laurie and Michael aside, in a narrative with sudden and not always justified turns. However, for fans of the new trilogy created by Green, it will be a satisfactory closure. Read our full analysis here.

Stronger
The movie is a reflection on the inspiring story of Jeff Bauman, a man who lost his legs in the Boston Marathon bombing of 2013. In this context, it is clear that it is a production that causes some discomfort, but remains inspiring. The script focuses on Bauman's emotional and physical recovery journey. Starring Oscar nominees Jake Gyllenhaal and Miranda Richardson, and Emmy winner Tatiana Maslany, 'Stronger' is a must-see for those looking for great stories.

Halloween
Forget all the other movies in the franchise: this is a direct sequel to the 1978 classic 'Halloween' directed by horror master John Carpenter. Ignoring all the stories told in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, this new movie brings back Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, who survived the events of 78 and, suffering from PTSD, seeks revenge against killer Michael Myers. Showing respect towards Carpenter's work, director David Gordon Green does a competent job and is highly praised by critics.

Halloween Kills
Here, one of the most iconic horror films of the 1970s is back in the spotlight for genre fans. In the direct sequel to the 2018 production - which is worth revisiting before tackling 'Halloween Kills' - we follow the endless Halloween night of the town of Haddonfield, Illinois, USA. The protagonist of the original movie, Laurie Strode (played by Jamie Lee Curtis), takes a back seat this time and the protagonists are other survivors of the community, who decide to get rid of the bloodthirsty Michael Myers once and for all. Those familiar with the franchise know that joining forces against the killer is a waste of time and a death sentence, as he is practically immortal. But still, we embark on another bloody journey trying to understand why Myers continues with this killing spree. David Gordon Green, who also directed 'Halloween' (2018) and will lead the third movie of this reboot, manages to bring some creativity to a script that, unfortunately, grows little in almost two hours of film. In any case, the gore combined with the scares is a formula that still manages to guarantee fun for those who like slashers and, without a doubt, Green delivered a great job in this regard.
Horror
The Exorcism
The Exorcism marks the second film featuring star Russell Crowe in an exorcism role within a year—the other being the fun and carefree The Pope's Exorcist. Here, however, Crowe isn't exactly an exorcist but an actor playing this common type of character in a horror film. Marked by filming delays, interrupted during the pandemic and resumed four years later, the feature attempts to play with the metanarrative of the proposal and how actors relate to their characters, making brief comments on how the stories they portray can seep into the lives of the actors themselves. It is far (very far!) from a perfect film, with a broken rhythm and a glaring lack of depth. However, it can still be entertaining—despite all the parental drama—to watch Russell Crowe once again portray this character battling demons.

Run Rabbit Run
Loss and family trauma have been fertile themes in horror in recent years, with films like The Babadook and Relic. Understandably, similar themes can become tiresome, which could be said about Run Rabbit Run. The film follows a fertility doctor (Sarah Snook, Succession), whose seven-year-old daughter (Lily LaTorre) begins to exhibit strange behaviors that mimic those of a deceased family member. The movie builds tension around this mystery, gradually revealing the events that led to the past tragedy. Its lack of novelty is compensated by a genuinely tense and terrifying atmosphere, with strong performances from Snook and debutante Lily LaTorre.
