Halloween Ends (2022)
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
Skinamarink
Two children wake up in the middle of the night to find their father is missing, and all the windows and doors in their home have vanished. To cope with the strange situation, the two bring pillows and blankets to the living room and settle into a quiet slumber party. They play well worn videotapes of cartoons to fill the silence of the house and distract from the frightening and inexplicable situation. All the while in the hopes that eventually some grown-ups will come to rescue them. However, after a while it becomes clear that something is watching over them.
Medusa
By day, Mari and her friends broadcast their spiritual devotion through pastel pinks and catchy evangelical songs about purity and perfection, and by night they form a vigilante girl gang, prowling the streets in search of sinners who have deviated from the rightful path.
