I never thought we'd actually got a reboot sequel to Halloween like the one we got from Rob Zombie but for this one, this actually ignored the entire franchise and stuck to the reboot version of a sequel which takes place 40 years after the killing spree at 1978. This completely took the turn that never happened in the 1980's. With Jamie Lee Curtis coming back right after the last time she starred in the last Halloween film, Resurrection, let's dive right into this re-reboot Halloween film. On October 29, 2018, very convenient to be taken place at the time of year, the infamous serial killer Michael Myers, who has been institutionalized at Smith's Grove Psychiatric Hospital for decades following his killing spree in Haddonfield, is being prepared for transfer to a maximum-security prison. Two crime podcasters visits the hospital, where Aaron displays Michael's mask to him, to no effect. Laurie Strode still lives in fear of him, drinking herself into stuper and rarely leaving her fortified house. She has a strained relationship with her daughter Karen, whom the state took away from her when she was a child. The reason for that is because Laurie is crazy over that moment years ago. The night of October 30, as Michael is being transferred, the bus crashes and Michael escapes after murdering two people and stealing their truck. On the morning of October 31, Halloween Day, Michael once again goes on a rampage killing many people as possible non-stop. You know, with most horror films, the ones that are completely memorable that really stood the test of time which rather be really getting reboot sequels like this one but others don't considered to be reboots at all. Like many horror franchises really got revived at the time by getting direct sequels which I found out about like for example Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. It's no surprise that this one is a direct sequel to the 1970's Halloween when it already has many sequels before that. Well, this one including the others considered to be legacy sequels which is one of the reasons why the main stars don't get any screen time which I don't have a problem with it but still never as good as the originals. With what we got in this legacy sequel, I enjoyed it, not as good as the first which I can see why it didn't call it Halloween 2 but called it just "Halloween" which is why most recent legacy sequels didn't get numbers at the end which many people are going to get confused by which sequel or movie from the horror genre they have heard. Of course, they can't call this one just "Halloween 2,2,2" 'cause that might sound really stupid. Legacy sequels may not be everyone's cup of tea but considering that they're both direct sequels to their own franchises, they might get a use of them. On to the next one.
