Probably the main reason why 2018 destroys Halloween 2 for me. That’s a way more interesting and creepy idea than whatever crap they did in 1981.I feel really sad for Laurie in H2018, she’s waited for Michael to escape all those years yet he’s not given her another thought. Not even convinced he recognises her when they meet. That’s one aspect I do kind of like.
H2 is a complete retcon from the original. Not just the sister thing. Loomis doesn’t even look down in shock. Instead he runs downstairs and is completely surprised that Michael’s body isn’t on the grass. Like..why?
Bad wigs and masks that clearly don’t line up with the original, which is a problem because it’s supposed to be the same night. Michael’s stuntman doesn’t look or move like the one from the first movie. That mask makes him look like a goofy ninja turtle. This is the beginning of them turning Michael Myers into Jason Vorhees. Laurie also comes off like a moron in this movie. I don’t care for a single new character unlike Alyson in 2018 (you get the sense that H2 is just a way to make a sleazy kill fest with new characters that won’t matter). The score is also overrated. All they did was remake the themes with corny 80’s synths.
