Well, I didn't notice the tension or atmosphere if it was there.
Halloween 2, 4 and 6 were able to nail the atmosphere. They are creepy even when the story gets ludicrous.
This one rushes through everything with no logic, no characters worth knowing, including the older Laurie strode. H20 is a fast paced movie too, but is a far superior follow up. It has the elements. This does not.
... Once they dropped the Sister storyline they were finally free! They could've taken it absolutely anywhere. I assumed Laurie would hunt him while he was doing other things. Why was SHE a special revenge for him? The story doesn't explain this.
The Loomis replacement was okay, until he wasn't a real character anymore. He becomes absurd then forgotten immediately.
The Podcaster story line was bad too, then gets ridiculous and unrealistic. Although if Laurie had gone along with them it would have been a better story.
A slower movie, with a lot less going on, leaving room for tension and suspense would have been much more appreciated. It could have been great, but it just isn't. Not at all. Such a letdown.
I'll still hold hope for a Directors cut that includes character development and a story that makes sense.
