It turns out that we dreamed all those other sequels: Michael’s been locked away since that night 40 years ago when Laurie Strode got him tossed out a window. Turns out he’s been stewing about that the whole time—but so has she.
How long since the last one? Nine years since Rob Zombie’s Halloween II.
Reboot or sequel? Both? Halloween reboots the series by ignoring the previous nine films—including the fact that Laurie is Michael’s sister—but serves as a direct sequel to the 1978 original.
Does it work? Jamie Lee Curtis is fantastic, and the family dynamic among the three generations of Strode women is great. Next to all that, the more typical slasher-movie elements sit uncomfortably. But, overall, yeah. And it made enough money to bring Michael back at least twice more, for this year’s Halloween Kills and next year’s Halloween Ends.
