When you hear Jamie Lee Curtis agreed to reprise her role, again, forty years after the original, you'd think: this must be huge. But aside from some present-day cinematography techniques, and a very encouraging opening sequence, this becomes anything but. Again we have the notion of Michael Myers as the personification of pure unstoppable evil, numerous slayings, and numerous homages to the original to keep fans happy. Not even Laurie Strode has made much of a Ripley-like transformation to wisdom and maturity in the past four decades - not even among the climactic grandmother-mother-granddaughter team. I preferred the Rob Zombie interpretation.
