I agree with you. I loved Rejects and thought Halloween was pretty good. Course, I didnt go in expecting it to surpass the orginal.

It's a different genre. It's like comparing Little Shop of Horrors the musical to the Charles Griffith Little Shop of Horrors. Different genres, different films, different approaches. Zombie reimagined a suspenseful slasher classic as a splatpunk slasher film. The philopsophical approaches are different and the intent is different. Apples and oranges...no, change that, apples and pianos.

Definatley dude its not like the original has been erased because of this remake its still there to watch. Its just a new vision of the story thats brought new life to a franchise that was going down the toilet.
The remakes suck debate is tired and is about as exciting to read as all the Uwe Bowl sucks posts.

Its Tyler Mane, the guy who played Sabretooth. You can see him sans makeup or William Shatner mask in Joe Dirt as the guy who sets himself on fire.

I think he was the only good casting choice in the reimagining. That Scout whatever her name is girl is annoying. MacDowell is a good actor, hes just too creepy to play Loomis. Brad Dourif as the sheriff was a bad choice too.

I don't like the idea at all of them doing re-makes of these movies. I get the feeling all the classic movies are re-make bound now. Hollywood can't think of anything better to do so they decide to do this. I though Rob Zombies was ok, but I would have much prefered the original being left alone

I'm just curious what people thought of his remake. I thought it had some strong horror/gore elements, but I didn't like how they tried to give an explanation and a motivation for what made Michael Myers so evil. I thought it was more interesting and mysterious without the whole 'bad childhood and family' element.

They didn't do that... He was already evil, his family just happened to be assholes.

I liked how they explained the mask bit though.
