Apparently it’s a direct sequel to the original and ignores the other films.

What do you find wrong with this trailer exactly? Its been well received by even the hardcore fans from what ive seen.

Michael was kind of a supernatural and unstoppable presence in the first film, he was used sparingly to build the tension till the final act. Visiting him in a prison yard in the daylight in the opening act is very mystique breaking. Less Michael on screen would be a big plus for me.

It's setting the stage to show where he's been since the original movie, not everyone going to see this will be clued in on the fact this is a sequel to the original and ignores the other movies so this kind of setup pretty much has to happen. It may well play a large part in the story as well explaining why he chose this time to break out. Maybe they slip up and say something he wasn't supposed to know which makes him break out.

Re-watching the trailer it looks like they've reset the whole thing so Halloween 2 onward never took place - in the opening part of the trailer the guy says he killed three innocent teenagers and was shot by his psychiatrist before being taken into custody "that night". Nothing mentioned about being blown up or any further deaths. They also explained away how he survived the gunshots (the doctors medical notes seems to show entry wounds nowhere near vital organs, like in the shoulders - which isn't exactly what happened in the original movie) and those other teenagers debunking the "myth" that Myers was Laurie Strode's brother.

That said - I liked the trailer and looking forward to seeing it.

Watch this video which goes into some stuff on the trailer, the notes seem to indicate wounds on some of the victims, not Myers.

The bathroom stall scene was also something i noticed with 2 different heads of hair (one with not so much) on the outside of the stall in the sequence.

I would prefer this to be done more off screen. Lorie is visited by the journalists sniffing around. They tell her about the investigation and that they are going to visit Michael, they seem far too flippant and naive, Lorie warns them not to underestimate him etc . Later she hears that he has broken out, but we don't see this...that would be tense. You would be right there with Lorie not knowing when or how he would first appear.

There was a new trailer shown at one of those comic conventions yesterday, not online yet though

Ed: apparently it wasn't a trailer, more like a few random scenes from the movie. Attendees only got to see it, id be surprised if it wasn't recorded and uploaded at some stage.

Dunno man...

I try not to judge movies based on their trailers these days but man... it looks a bit limp to me.

ignore

Less used to be more, but more is the new more.

I can guarantee this will have zero tension compared to the original.

Looking fwd to watching it

Someone wanna clue in fox news on what a fictional movie is?

Glanza · 27 Oct 2018 at 16:13

Not a bad effort, better than some of the other Halloween films we've had in the past that's for sure.

The little black kid added some much needed comic relief, can see 'niceguys' getting up in arms from one of the scenes in this.

Wasn't a fan of the ending however with the panning shot to the knife almost hinting that the Grandaughter was suddenly going to become the next MM

Doubt that's gonna happen considering you hear Myers breathing in the end credits and he vanishes from the basement when its shown burning, they tried that before with the "thorn" thing and it just got forgotten about.
