[QUOTE="Jordan Cole, post: 2899, member: 282"] I will pop in to say I really hate the new Halloween movies, and I recently rewatched H20 (dumbest title in film history, ever, yeah?) and...it's practically perfect? I honestly feel it did everything basically exactly right for that kind of legacy horror sequel. Curtis is fantastic in it, and I love that while she clearly has issues and trauma from her experience as a teenager, she's still basically a sane, together woman with a life, not just a wacky obsessive nutjob like in the new films. I hate how the new Halloween films undo H20, when H20 covered similar ground with so much more care. David Gordon Green's films feel weird to me, like something is off about them. They feel like fan fiction and like Green is too in love with himself, like he's so ultra confident about how to make a good Halloween movie and he's going to show all those sequels how it's REALLY done. But what makes those 70s and 80s horror franchises fun is that they are messy and not super graceful and they aren't in love with themselves. They were just pumping them out and that gives them a charm I find lacking in these new films. I find it hard to articulate this point though. [/QUOTE]
