Unlike many people, I actually liked Rob Zombie's Halloween movies (except for the last 30 seconds of Part 2), but this re-re-boot looks like a nice return to form.

And I like that they gave Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie Strode the Sarah Connor treatment, but...

That's a tough one for a horror movie. It definitely takes away from the creepiness/terror when you have a tough, resilient, ready-to-battle protagonist that you know is going to survive the movie.

And yet I really hate it horror movies build up iconic or "baddass" characters, only to kill them off for shock value and then leave you with protagonists that you couldn't give a shit about.

Can this movie find a good balance?

Hope so.
