Watched the new Halloween. That was fucking fun. There was some shitty dialogue occasionally, especially when the various high school kids were interacting with each other, and it's strange that a film written in part by Danny McBride stumbles most the few times it tries to be funny, but overall it's just a great horror movie and a suitable follow up to the original Halloween.
It kind of just ignores all the other sequels and pretends they didn't happen, which is fine because I don't really remember much from them anyway. It takes place forty years to the day after the original, and shockingly Michael Myers escapes custody and gets to murdering. There are some things that feel like plot holes early, but they do get mostly wrapped up later.
The best part of the movie is the last twenty to thirty minutes. Just a great final stretch and a satisfying ending.
Definitely worth watching.
