Each Halloween movie can be described with two “S” words. Carpenter’s: Suspenseful & Subtle. Zombie’s: Savage & So fucking violent. While the story stays mostly true to the original, the tone does a complete 180 and drops the suspense and adds pure brutal gore. Not that there is anything wrong with that. It helps separate the two as their own movies. It could never be the original, but it’s still pretty good.
