This movie’s is biggest problem is how noncommittal it is. Is it gory? Funny? Serious? Campy? Meta? Scary? I don’t know. It’s all and none of those things. It has no tone or identity. It winds up being nothing.

Just got back from seeing this. I enjoyed much of it, but I have to kinda agree with LV in that it doesn't seem to settle on a tone so it feels a bit empty.
However, this particular Michael Myers is loads of fun, and I loved how relentless he was. The way he just walks into people's homes so casually made me uneasy. It was done well, and the last 20 mins or so are great.
I still left wanting more, though. I don't know where I'd rank it, needs time to marinate.
1. Halloween (1978) 2. Halloween H20 (1998) 3. Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995) 4. Halloween 2 (1981) 5. Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988) 6. Halloween 2 (Rob Zombie, 2009) 7. Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989) 8. Halloween: Resurrection (2002) 9. Halloween (Rob Zombie, 2007)
I imagine this new one might slot in at number 3, or maybe number 2 but I'll have to see it again.

good theater experience for me.
movie was fine, enjoyable even. nothing great. everything with laurie strode fell flat for me, though her story did pick up a bit in the end.
they should have just made the whole movie about the funny little kid and David, the stoner boyfriend of the babysitter. That part of the movie was real fun.
