First off, I went into this already knowing the major spoiler, that it didn't focus on Michael Myers for majority of the movie. I thought what the hell, let's just check out the kills and how the ending plays out.
But it turns out I really enjoyed it for the most part. Like I said in my header, it reminds me of a cross between Halloween 3 (which didn't feature Michael at all) & Return of the Living Dead 3 (a crazy love story where one of them is a killer - FYI, ROTLD3 is extremely underrated, and you should check it out if you haven't seen it).
Anyway, I thought Rohan Campbell as Corey was a great lead, and he really pulled off both the shy introvert and the psycho killer.
It wasn't all great. Almost all the side characters were all loud, rude and angry and it got on my nerves a bit. I get that they were going for the 'traumatized town'. But it was too much. Thankfully some got dealt with by Corey ... Yes, I was cheering him on in some instances. You know the 4 I'm talking about.
I also liked that that the unfunny comedy moments of the last 2 entries were almost completely absent.
All that being said, if you don't like the main story, you'll at least enjoy the last 20 minutes. It's the Michael vs you know who battle everyone was expecting.
