The new Halloween movie is not a remake. It's a prequel.

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.

Red Dragon is a remake of Manhunter (the first, but by far the least known about of the Silence of the Lambs movies)........... It is the same movie, it just focuses more on the killer.... ala the new "Halloeeen."

When was that made? All three of them have anthony hopkins in them now and I think that will widely be accepted as "the series". So instead of showing the people he kills it'll show where he's hanging out and all that I guess. It could be ok, it's just that halloween is a classic series and a tall order for anyone to pull off properly especially in todays the more gore the better film industry.

It was made in 1986 http://www.amazon.com/Manhunter-Will...8749260&sr=8-3




Same movie as Red Dragon (I just watched Red Dragon again last night) yet it's completely different You're gonna have to watch it to find out what I'm talking about. Manhunter focuses a lot more on the cop that catches "The Tooth Fairy," where as Red Dragon focuses a lot more on "The Tooth Fairy."


Manhunter had a much better ending, imo.

I watched it last night as well and I understand what this new halloween will be like. I'm kinda interested in seeing it now.
