Didn't he kill this decrepit milf back it Resurrection?

Actually it doesn't retcon how H1 ended. Everything that happened in the original still happened: Michael got shot, was seen lying on the ground, then vanished, movie ends. All of that still happened, only difference is he was now captured at some point on the same night, it just remains to be seen/told exactly how he was caught.

Future installments are bound to happen. Though none of the previous reboots (just H20 I guess) were a direct sequel to the original.

Depending on how it turns out, this one may be the last film with any of the original cast and crew. But you never know, that set in space movie could always come!

exactly, i just made a post about this. i mean how far are they going to take this preposterous and stupid idea. the idea of always bringing back jamie lee. i mean are they actually going to bring her back in 2038 for the 60 year anniversary even when she is 80 years old???!!! it was fine the first time they did it in 1998 because that was the first time they brought her back after many years but this is overkill especially since we also had her back in 2002's resurrection. enough already! they only made up this excuse about this movie taking place before resurrection so they could justify bringing her back again to make more money off of us by but they didn't do it for a movie story reason to justify it.

They can do whatever they want. Though I hate when directors ignore previous installments. At least make the other movies a dreams of Laurie's..

it's a reboot made by hipster college dropouts hoarding in on horror being "in" again,
they don't give a rat's ass about the halloween legacy

Yeah, I wrote my initial comment back when the rumor mill said that Halloween 2 was yet again going to be consider canon in this new decades-later Halloween.

Then later when it was officially confirmed Halloween 2018 was going to be a direct sequel to the original, I was rather stunned. Michael & Laurie will no longer be siblings? This is a direction none of the sequels ever took and it’s something many fans always wondered how it would play out. Count me in!

Ha. I would like this movie better if Laurie Strode came back as a zombie after being killed in Resurrection, and Michael Myers has to find a way to kill the undead Laurie.
