I was so looking forward to this movie having been a big fan of the original and getting hyped by the awesome trailer, but what a big let down.
The movie lacks the suspense and mystery of the original, it is very confused in its tone and delivery for example there is a lot of comedy in this movie which instantly takes away any suspense they were trying to build.
The acting and dialogue is so bad it made me cringe watching it, with such lines as "get back in your house I'm a doctor" and "I spilled peanut butter on my penis" . Also the police in the movie are completely incompetent, from the black cowboy commander, to the two idiots in the police car having a 5 minute conversation about a sandwich, while a deranged murderous serial killer is on the loose????
And why is every young male character in this movie extremely camp?? The scene where the father and son driving down the road and come across the crashed bus and his son is saying that he "doesn't want to go hunting" he "just wants to dance" in some weird Billy Elliot mini story???
This movie totally missed the mark. With Michael Myers less is more, you see him way too often. He should be stalking his pray in the background building suspense and tension ready to jump out, this version sees the camara following him around in the 3rd person taking away the mystery.
This movie had a good premise but was poorly executed.
score 1/10
