Although the movie doesn't sound all that promising anyway. I didn't like the emphasis on death and gore in the 2018 one, and this one apparently takes it even further.
I don't mind the gore particularly. Blood can be impactful for the viewer when they see a character they're invested in wounded and bloodied to illicit either emotion or dread. There's a balance to showing the result of the violence and less is more. Zombie took it to unnecessary gratuitous levels, but I'd argue one of the best scenes in his sequel was Annie's death, seeing her naked and soaked in blood, because of the relationship between her and Laurie and particularly her father, and how they both react to seeing Annie on the floor.
What's discouraging about this next one is that Carpenter and co. are hyping up that it's going to have the largest body count. That's really not in line of what they set out to accomplish with this current canon of Michael. What you get from that is basically characters with very little screen time and development who become red shirts for Michael. That's not really what Michael's character is. I'd rather have a small kill count of characters you at least spent a little time with onscreen before whacking them.
