The title bugs me. The new one, I mean. I'm not sure what they should have called it but Halloween? That means there's three of them, although, this one isn't a remake. It's the new part 2, but fuck off, let's just call it Halloween, anyway. I feel like there needs to be something attached to the title to give it its own identity. Halloween II Part 2? Halloween H40? I think "The Last Halloween" has a nice ring to it, although I guess it's not going to be the last one after all cuz money. If I had my way, they would have just resurrected the series with a Halloween 9. I feel like they still could have made any movie they wanted and ignored any past sequel they wanted and still gotten away with calling it that.
That's why I try not to take these franchises too seriously cuz that shit pisses me off. I mean, I get it. it's a business first and always has been, but the need to keep making money often gets in the way of the integrity of the franchise. Money is the only reason why this isn't Halloween 9 or a flat out remake or another Halloween II. Cuz someone decided everyone could milk the most out of this project if it erased 2-8 and stole the original's title. Whether they were right or wrong in doing this has yet to be seen.
