it's a premaquel! they find the camp from 2011 in JC's movie and they segue into each other because the credits scene is the dog running from the helicopter
it uses a lot of CGI and it's more of an action horror that kind of misses the point a little but it's worth seeing at least once back to back with Carpenter's version
I like that put all three of these movies in on set. I love all 3 films. Yes, even the prequel to Carpenters. It's not the masterpiece that the other two are, but it is an entertaining moive.
