Wealthy sadistic collector Roland Voight (Goran Visnjic) is the newest owner of the puzzle box. He goes missing. Years later, Riley (Odessa A'zion) is a struggling drug addict. Her brother Matt needs her to get her act together and get her share of the rent. Her boyfriend Colin suggests robbing from a rich man's storage. They find the puzzle box.
Right before this, I watched "Halloween Ends". The difference is like night and day. Both are trying to reimagine the franchise. Unlike Halloween, this movie does it successfully. I've watched them all up to Hellworld. It's a good franchise for the first few movies. The straight to video stuff is mostly bad with one exception. It's a franchise stuck in B-movie territory.
This one is an interesting reboot. It is a bit long at two hours, but that's my only main concern. I really love Odessa as the lead actress. I do like the progression of the kills and the box. If they take one kill away, it could save some time and keep the pacing up. I like the house. I like the designs. I even like the new Cenobite designs, although the classics are still classic. This is a good reboot.
