You mean it'll focus more on what he did in the mental ward like it was written in the book? There's still no need for it. It still takes place over the same sort of events. Red Dragon was backstory. There's no backstory to be told in halloween. They show him killing his sister. They show the institution story part (in either 1 or 2). It's closer to remake than prequel. For it to be closer to prequel they'd have to have a celtic scene where they broke down the significane of the seed tattoo and what not (like they did in the book). I just can't watch it. After I hear some reviews on here I might change my mind tho.

Other than that, Donald Pleasance = Irreplaceable.
