Rob Zombie's Halloween 2

[massacre man]

I feel pretty good about this. But I liked Rob's first outing.

I love Rob Zombie's films but, I wasn't very impressed with his remake of "Halloween" at all.

As much as I really enjoyed House of 1,000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects I absolutely HATED Zombie's Halloween. He destroyed EVERYTHING about Michael that made him purely evil. In Zombie's version Dr. Loomis refers to him as a "psychopath", that is NOT Michael Myers! In Carpenter's well done masterpiece Michael is referred to as "purely and simply, evil" and THAT is the real Michael Myers. I thought the whole backstory and origin behind him was aweful as well. The whole white trash poor homelife thing was the most terrible cliche I could ever imagine. Michael Myers in the original Halloween has NO purpose, NO motive and NO remorse, he is just evil in human form. What I loved about Michael in the original is he didn't have a backstory, he just snapped one day and the evil came out. I think the correct way of doing a backstory to Michael would to have him never talk, never have really been normal, never to have really showed emotion, like something was always wrong with him in a sense. He would just be that really weird creepy boy who still ate, still slept, but didn't ever have friends or interact sociably too much at all, always to himself. He would of course still be loved by his family but they would be highly concerned with him and his well being. THEN things just escalate with his emotions, his actions would get more disturbing and then he kills Judith while his parents are gone and there ya go, there's your backstory. But hey, that's just me. Zombie's Michael was too human, nothing at all creepy about him. Daeg was a terrible actor too.

You know, I was really hoping they'd let him stay dead. His death was pretty damn final in this one, instead of just falling out a window or something.

Oh well...that's Hollywood, I guess.

if you ask me rob zombie just fukt it up..:mad:

I wouldn't say worst. I thought Rob Zombies halloween was a better remake than friday the 13th and my bloody valentine was. I enjoy Rob's films. And the reason why people didn't like his halloween is because they are trying to compare it to the original. John said to Rob "make it your own," so he did. I am looking forward to Rob Zombies H2 and his other movie T-Rex! I don't know about you, but I'm a big fan of Rob Zombie, both his music and movies are great.

Like I said before John told Rob zombie to make it his own, and he did. And there has to be a story, which is why I liked Rob's version better. you just don't snap out for no reason. and pychopaths are evil. Daeg was a good actor, and Michael is human. He's not a walking corpse like Jason Voorhees is. Don't get me wrong, I loved the original, I just think that Rob Zombies Halloween was great too. maybe not better, but not terrible either like some people say it is. We all have our own opinions on movies. Much better than "my bloody valentine" and "friday the 13" remakes. And I would be much more scared with a big guy in a mask than some guy shorter than me in a halloween mask. But thats just me lol. And if anyone thinks the sequels after halloween 2 (original) are better than the remake are on some good crack. halloween 3 and the ones after it were terrible:mad:

Margot Kidder (The Amityville Horror, Sisters, Superman, Black Christmas), has joined the cast of Rob Zombie's Halloween sequel, which apparently has been given a new name.

"Margot Kidder has joined Halloween - The Devil Walks Among Us as Laurie Strode's therapist Barbara Collier," writes Zombie on his official blog.

Fans of the first movie didnt like the moniker H2 and Halloween: The Devil Walks Among Us sounds like a pretty solid new title.

Shooting is now underway in Georgia as Dimension has the film slated for release on August 28.

Sounds Awesome, I can't wait to see it. "The Devil Walks Among us" sounds pretty cool. I'm glad he's making it his own, instead of doing a useless remake.

I dont know if its because ive loved rob zombie and his old band white zombie for years now, and may be i just wana love everything he does. but i actually liked halloween! Obviously not as good as house of 1000 corpses or devils rejects but still good. My friend described it as somthing like a "music video for slipknot" which i did find very funny. But give mr zombie a break guys he's ace :)
