Thank you.

On a separate, yet related, note: SEE the original if you haven’t yet. It’s insanely unsettling. It precedes HALLOWEEN by about 4 years, and it gives it a run for its money in terms of creeps. No joke.

I don’t think I’d call it a “better” film than HALLOWEEN, but it’s at worst only marginally inferior. The score for HALLOWEEN may put it over the top.

I think the more people that get exposed to the original the more you’ll see it ranked amongst the greatest horror films, or at the very least the greatest slasher films. In terms of slashers I’d consider it somewhere in the top 5, if not top 3.

Nice review. I actually haven’t seen this one myself, because after reading some things about it, I couldn’t possibly imagine it even coming close to the original, which I love. Thank you for giving me even more reason to avoid this flick.

“I’m sure today’s youth will probably have the same kind of experience. Only, I wonder if their dreams of naked women are just bad remakes of mine.”

If you were in my office right now you’d hear me giving those two sentences a slow clap. Unfortunately my cats aren’t joining in the clap, so I just look like a crazy person.
