VIDEO : 'Halloween' Sequel Is Nothing New

According to CNN, the ?Halloween? sexual is up to its old tricks.
In this new movie, directed by David Gordon, all the intervening movies have been set aside, and Jamie Lee Curtis returns as Michael?s sister, Laurie Strode.
In this timeline the murderous Michael Myers has spent the last four decades in what's clearly a not-very-effective mental-rehabilitation facility, and ultimately escapes.
From there on out, the movie is a fairly by-the-numbers slasher movie, filled with some elements of female empowerment, but doesn?t really provide much beyond that.
In essence, ?Halloween? is operating from a very old playbook.
