I didn't go see this movie, but I did read about it at themoviespoiler.com.

When I heard Rob was making a Halloween remake, I was hoping that it would be part of the actual Halloween movie canon. I really thought this movie would make or break the series, but I'm still a little clueless on it's impact. It's hard to follow a series that keeps dropping the plotline and going with another idea.

Here's what I mean...

Halloween 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6.

Michael Myers kills his family, and begins stalking Lori Strode. She is apparently killed in a car crash and has a daughter, Jaime Lloyd. Upon hearing of this daughter, Michael Myers chases after her. He finally kills her in Halloween 6, where we discover that Michael's rage is part of a curse known as the "curse of the thorn." It's a sacrificial curse in which Michael would have to kill his entire family to save many more from disaster. (Simple research). That explains it!

Halloween 3

Killer masks turn peoples heads into bugs and snakes...

Halloween 7 - 8

Lori Strode didn't die after all! She faked her death and joined a witness protection program. H20 makes no mention of Jamie Lloyd or the Curse of the Thorn, but rather ignores anything that was made after Halloween 2. Okay... I would have liked to see where this curse thing was going but fine. So why IS Michael after his family? Michael goes after Jamie and her son, only to be defeated by Jamie in a tables match in one of the school buildings. Years later Jamie ends up in a nut ward and Michael finally kills her. Now it's time to get her son right? Nope. It's time to go home, where there just happens to be a group of young kids filming a reality show in the Myers home. Michael wakes up at the end... and we're set up for a sequel...

Halloween 9

And we get no sequel. Instead we're taken back to the beginning. That's fine! Now we can get an explaination on why Michael is such a psychotic and unstoppable killer. But... we don't get the same Michael. Instead we get a much more human and aggressive version.

And here we are...

I think another Halloween movie would be great. What I am looking for though is consistancy. Pick a story... and go with it. The Halloween series leaves room for a director to literally pick up in three different places. They can pick up from 6, 8, or 9. All of which have different story lines with little to no closure.
