A year later than originally planned, the latest instalment in the Halloween franchise is now out in cinemas \u2013 with Michael Myers once again at large and on a killing spree in Haddonfield, Illinois.<\/p>\n

Halloween Kills<\/a> is a direct sequel to the previous entry in the series \u2013 2018\u2019s Halloween \u2013 with David Gordon Green once again in the director\u2019s chair, and the action picks up directly after the events of that film, with Laurie Strode now in hospital and Michael having escaped from the trap laid for him at the end of the previous movie.<\/p>\n

Laurie\u2019s daughter and granddaughter are back as well, while the film also reintroduces us to several iconic figures from the franchise\u2019s past \u2013 including Tommy Doyle, the boy Laurie babysat for in the original film, who this time seeks revenge on Michael and aims to bring the entire community together to finally take him down.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also notable that this film is the middle entry in a planned trilogy, with a third film titled Halloween Ends set to hit our screens a year from now: read on to find how the end of Halloween Kills sets up the next instalment.<\/p>\n

Major spoilers for Halloween Kills ahead.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

Halloween Kills ending explained<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Throughout the film, we see Michael Myers embark on yet another murder spree \u2013 killing several inhabitants of Haddonfield seemingly at random before it emerges that he has one destination in mind: the old Myers house where he first stabbed his sister all those years ago.<\/p>\n

At the same time, an angry mob of the town\u2019s residents led by Tommy Doyle has formed, with the group determined to put a stop to the carnage once and for all.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for the mob, their plan somewhat backfires: convinced that an unmasked man wandering the corridors of Haddonfield Memorial Hospital is Michael, they chase him to his death before it emerges that he was in fact simply another convict who had escaped at the same time as the villain. This hardly dissuades them though, and they eventually realise exactly where Myers is headed.<\/p>\n

Laurie\u2019s granddaughter Allyson and her now reconciled boyfriend Cameron arrive at the Myers house to find that Michael has already brutally murdered the current occupants, and Michael soon sets upon them \u2013 killing Cameron and wounding Allyson.<\/p>\n

Before he can complete the job, however, Allyson\u2019s mother Karen arrives on the scene and manages to stab Michael, before taking off his mask and laying a trap for him.<\/p>\n

As Michael wanders to collect his mask, he is quickly rounded on by the angry mob who proceed to beat him and shoot at him with baseball bats and assorted weapons, with Tommy still leading the charge.<\/p>\n
