From the producer of the Evil Dead remake, and guess what? It's going to be... a direct sequel to the original.
And I thought the continuity for the Halloween series was bad! It's like they're not even trying anymore. They're rehashing and rehashing until they're rehashing a rehashed rehash. What's wrong with continuity these days?
Remember when they already did a direct sequel to the original in 2013? It may have lacked grit, but it was still a fun movie and its heart was in the right place. And if you also remember, that movie was supposed to kickstart a deal with Lionsgate to produce a total of six films, but that never happened. Instead, we got another prequel instead. Granted, it was a prequel to neither the original nor remake seeing as how it doesn't share any of the characters, and leatherface wasn't even retarded in it. More of a spin-off than anything.
I predict this next film will have yet again another different family, because Leatherface has thousands of relatives that he stays with. There's no word on the timeline of this one yet, because when we finally brought this film to modern times with the 2013 film, the following film took us straight back not to the 70s, but even earlier! Why does Leatherface need to be stuck in the past? If Michael can make it to modern times, why can't Bubba?
I shouldn't expect anything from the series at this point. Either way, I'm going to end up watching it and I'll probably end up liking it just I have every other movie, but I think their approach is always off. We'll see what happens...

My hopes for this are already low. Fede Alvarez's involvement doesn't help.
