Halloween: Second trailer released for Horror Hope
"40 years ago Michael Myers murdered three people on Halloween night" - with these words Jamie Lee Curtis (59) aka Laurie Strode opens the brand new trailer for the horror sequel "Halloween". With this announcement, it is also clear: Because the numerous successors of the film series enjoy a very bad reputation, the new "Halloween" part will actually act as a direct sequel to the original from 1978 by John Carpenter (70).
Even more so than in the first trailer is clear in the new images that director David Gordon Green (43) and his two additional screenwriters Danny McBride (41) and Jeff Fradley have tried to capture the oppressive atmosphere of the original. The first half of the trailer follows the viewer through the shoulder as the killer approaches his unsuspecting victims. Unlike his predecessor, Curtis' character is no longer a helpless "scream queen": "I prayed every night for him to break out." Why? "So that I can kill him".
Whether she will regret this wish? After all, he is in the new stripe reality: The prisoner transport with the psycho killer on board has an accident in the middle of nowhere, Myers manages to escape and promptly makes his way to his hometown Haddonfield. With the exception of his nemesis Laurie, no one else seems to be seriously worried in the tranquil town and so their warnings go unnoticed in the new trailer - until the madman slugs his way through the streets wearing a white mask. In keeping with the festival of horror, the film will be released on October 25, 2018.
