…Patrick Lussier.

Um…yay?

Seriously, this isn’t exactly a terrible development.  Granted, it’s not exactly a GREAT development either, but it’s far from terrible.

See, Patrick Lussier directed the 3-D remake of My Bloody Valentine, which came out not too long ago and we reviewed here.  He certainly didn’t screw that up; not that it turned out to be anything awe-inspiringly great or anything, but he definitely didn’t botch the job nearly as bad as he could have.  In fact, he actually managed to turn out a fairly watchable piece.  I liked it, anyway.

So the thought of handing over what is pretty much a diseased franchise anyway, thanks to that schmuck Rob Zombie, to a reasonably competent director actually gives me a hopeful feeling way down in the cockles.  It’s not the kind of thing I feel very often, but it’s become an almost giddy possibility that, indeed, Halloween 3 3-D MAY NOT SUCK.

Wow.

I never thought I’d see myself type THAT.
