I think this is about the point where I check out of any and all updates in regards to this film. I'd really like to reserve some surprise for when I finally get to see it. The trailer and all the information we've been given thus far are more than enough for me.

The trailer and all the information we've been given thus far are more than enough for me. I agree, in theory at least. I probably won't be able to resist whatever BS press release or article I see, but you're right. For instance, i've heard about this great long take in the movie that goes into several locations and lasts like 8 mins or something like a horror version of Birdman. I sort of wish I hadn't heard about that, and now after this trailer I sort of wish I hadn't seen so much of that. Either way, I like what I'm seeing from this trailer.

I liked it as well. It gave me the vibe that Myers was targeting random people and that he didn't return strictly for Laurie, who seems to have taken on more of a Loomis role.

Too much guns and shit. Turns it in to an action film, not horror.
An abomination.

I thought the trailer was good. Love the nod to Mrs. Elrod and the famous ham sandwich of Halloween 2

Not as good as the first trailer, but still pretty good. I kind of wished they hadn't used that whole scene in the beginning of the trailer. Ruined the homage presented in the actual film.

I too am wary about watching it. After Final Destination 5 gave away the whole movie, I stopped getting too involved in the marketing of horror films.

I'm not impress with either trailers and neither are two of some youtube friends of mine who are popular youtube critics despite Ocpcommunications is more popular:
The whole opening of that new trailer is nearly the same damn scene in Halloween II(1981) a sequel that this film is ignoring. It's got Michael sneaking up on an older woman with curlers in her hair. This is more than just a homage here. This is a straight up rip off and a xerox. Ocpcommunications and Ramboraph4life has better ideas for a Halloween sequel than this rip-off sequel that steals from 1, 2, 4 and H2O than be it's own movie, although to be honest I would rather this film not have homages at all. Just do your own thing. Now i love their detective idea the two guys had in mind.
And to me, it looked great from a cinematography standpoint, and it was nice to hear the original theme again, but the plot absolutely does not interest me at all. It's H40. I love Michael Myers and i love Halloween 1, 2, 3, 4 and H2O! to me H2O was THE LAST Halloween worth a damn and the STORY ENDED at the end for me and Michael DIED. Halloween Resurrection was an abomination as Halloween remake with it's sequel were lame as fuck, same for Halloween 5 which i thought was horrendous garbage and Halloween 6 was lame even in the producer's cut. The Last three Halloween movies made the character into a joke and this one will too, and i am sick of it.
I will give it a shot when it comes to rent or when it hits netflix as i'm not going to pay to see this in theaters. But the fan glad handing worries me a lot. It screams of we don't have that much to add to the franchise, so here's a bunch of homages to make you happy. Just don't make anymore sequels. That's my advice. The more you make, the longer you keep this franchise sucking the life out of other horror projects and potential franchises. This is just like when Universal completely ran their Monsters franchise into the ground in the 30s/40s/50s, same for other iconic modern horror franchises like Elm Street, Friday The 13th, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Child's Play, Scream, Saw, Hellraiser etc.
I don't need a fake Halloween 2, i've got the Scream Factory Halloween boxset with the REAL Halloween 2 from 1981 in the set i can watch at home for free and i'm gonna buy the steelbook re-issues of 2 and 3 with new 4K restorations to throw away the 2 and 3 discs from the boxset to replace them with the 4K restored versions and i can watch the actual Halloween 2 at home without having to pay for a movie ticket to see one lazy ass sequel. Lame trailer as it's nothing to get excited for or nothing new, it's just reheated leftovers for There is nothing fresh or new you can add to this franchise. It's dead. Digging up H20 and rehashing that plot and homaging the sequels is proof of this if you ask me.
If your like me and those 2 guys in the video even in the "It's time to let the beloved horror icons/franchises rest in peace" who is sick of this shit of these icons even Michael being beaten to the ground and turning into joke then stop supporting it, it's like wrestling fans are like "i'm gonna keep watching RAW in the pay-per-view for shitty matches" stop. Me and the two guys are like Halloween III's Tom Atkins "Stop it, stop it, stop it STOP IT". Then don't go see the movie in theaters and just wait until it hits netflix or to rent, that's how your gonna send your message to studios that some of us are fed up with what's been done to this franchise for the last 17 years.
I say, let this franchise rest in peace! Carpenter should do better things like do something from an independent studio than a bigger studio that would fuck him over and independent studio is a better place for Carpenter to do different stuff. It's time to move on and make fresh new horror icons and new horror franchise.
Now Hell Fest looks like a hell of a lot of fun and has potential to be a fresh fun horror slasher film and make a new icon! now i'm gonna spend my money in theaters to see that instead of the sloppy second studio whore Halloween sequel. Now Hell Fest is the slasher film to see this year and not the new Halloween film, horror fans who are fed up with what's been done to Halloween and burned out on it should see Hell Fest instead and it would reward Lionsgate/CBS studios then it could become a potential fresh new franchise.
If you want to bring back Halloween, let it live on through comics, mercandise, appreal, re-issues of the old movies, streams of the old movies on hulu/amazon/netflix, toys, books and all that then bring it back from the dead on film as on film it's a zombie that needs to be shot in the head and buried.
