Halloween Ends is a 2022 horror movie written by Paul Brad Logan, with characters created by John Carpenter and Debra Hill. The director of the film is David Gordon Green and reunites original Halloween stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Nick Castle for this latest installment in the franchise. Halloween Ends is the 13th film following the original 1978 movie with the central villain Michael Myers.

Synopsis:
When an intense meteor shower covers the countryside, it spreads an incurable infection among residents of a peaceful fishing town, turning them into flesh-eating zombies. Running for her life, a girl named Rene (Felicity Mason) finds refuge in an isolated farmhouse. There, she meets four others who survived the disaster. Together, they fend off the walking dead and learn the truth about those they’re fighting.

Undead is a tongue in cheek zombie movie. The acting isn’t the greatest (is it ever?) but it certainly wasn’t horrible. In fact with a couple of exceptions you can almost tell who is going to get eaten next by the level of acting. This zombie movie was light and funny when it needed to be, with plenty of serious gore that any zombie movie enthusiast would love. This one is certainly going in my thumbs up list of zombie movies to watch. The special effects and gore were surprising good.
“Undead” is the kind of movie that would be so bad it’s good, except it’s not bad enough to be good enough. It’s, let’s see, the sixth zombie movie I’ve seen in the last few years, after ” 28 Days Later ,” ” Resident Evil ,” the remake of “Dawn of the Dead,” ” Shaun of the Dead ” and “George Romero’s Land of the Dead.” That is a lot of lurching and screaming and heads blown off.
