Synopsis: And the Halloween night when Michael Myers returned isn’t over yet. Minutes after Laurie Strode (Curtis), her daughter Karen (Judy Greer) and granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) left masked monster Michael Myers caged and burning in Laurie’s basement, Laurie is rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, believing she finally killed her lifelong tormentor. But when Michael manages to free himself from Laurie’s trap, his ritual bloodbath resumes. As Laurie fights her pain and prepares to defend herself against him, she inspires all of Haddonfield to rise up against their unstoppable monster. The Strode women join a group of other survivors of Michael’s first rampage who decide to take matters into their own hands, forming a vigilante mob that sets out to hunt Michael down, once and for all. READ REVIEW

Release Date: October 15, 2021 (USA) | Length: 106 min | Genre: Crime, Horror, Thriller | MPAA Rating: Rated R for strong bloody violence throughout, grisly images, language and some drug use. | Note(s): Not sure if I correctly identified Kelvin Hargrove. He is from Willmington, where the movie is filmed, but I didn’t notice an orderly beside the distraught woman, who I’m assuming was the woman looking for her son.
