My feelings on the first are weird. At first I was all googly and loved it. Then, upon more viewings, the hillbilly dialog and depressed atmosphere really grated on my nerves. I watched it again last week, and it's not that bad. It's just one of those films you need to be in the mood for. I'll check out the sequel.
I don't want to go into my "Zombie, the reason Myers is scary is because we don't know why he's killing, so your ruining it" but it looks like I just did.
however, despite the fact that it looks meh, that poster is AWESOME
Isle 10- A series I'm currently writing with my friend Adam and it will go into production soon. Think The Office meets 10 Items or Less.
I wasn't a big fan of the remake, mostly cuz the characters were so hateful and cruel, but I'll probably go see this cuz I do think Zombie knows how to shoot, he's got a good eye, and yeah, that poster is freakin' sweet!
Rob Zombie is an idiot... He goes back on his word more than the entire democratic party does. He's probably a democrat himself, tho...
He firmly said "I will not do a follow up. I only have interest in the beginning, middle and end of the new franchise"
Then this junk. It's like he only came back to it so he could give his talentless wife some more work. Well, work where she's not always underneath a table... Or dancing atop one.
Rob Zombie, you suck... I don't like you. I think your shitty music is only eclipsed by your shitty movies. Halloween remake is about the most piss poor remake of them all.
First of all, the Halloween remake is far from the worst remake of the bunch. (The Grudge, Psycho, and Carrie 2002 to name a few, are amongst those)
But yes, it was indeed pretty mediocre. I'd say I at least enjoyed it.
But you are correct -- Zombie does indeed go back on his work a lot. Enough to call him a flat out liar. Not only did he say he wouldn't do a follow-up, he also said (back when House of 1000 Corpses was coming out) that remakes were "the worst thing a filmmaker coud do". What does he do in 2007? He remakes Halloween and even has the nerve to say that it's not a remake, but a "re-imagining" (seriously, whoever actually bought that crap is a moron, plain and simple).
Then he goes back to bull- shitting everyone with stuff like " I wouldn't do it if I wasn't sure it worked", or "I have a vision which I believe will work". He's just trying to kiss ass and I hate it. And this is coming froma guy who used to like him, at least as a musician.
Interesting to see that this was - seemingly - universally disliked by SSers.
The original 'Halloween' was a masterpiece of horror, and going for the same feel would've been - in my opinion - a bad move 'cos it would very likely fall short. Therefore, the route that Zombie took was a pleasant surprise to me. This provided a different angle to the same source material, yet it retained the core feel of the initial opener. 'The Devil Rejects' was a very poor film, and it seems that Zombie realised his mistakes and corrected them for a remake as important as 'Halloween'.
Halloween 1 & 2 work"ED" because there was a level of mystery and continuity within them. A strange connection from Camera to viewer that is now lost in all horror movies. Halloween 1 & 2 are the definitive examples of what "REAL" horror and suspense should be.
It's a lost art.
Rob Zombie can't write worth piss n' a cat dish... He can't direct worth piss n' a cat dish and he can't compose music worth piss n' a cat dish. He's famous cos' nobody else had anything better to do one day.
It's like the El-Camino ... It's a bad idea. We all know it... But you get a couple high idiots together with some spare vehicle parts and look what you get. Same thing with Rob Zombie... He took a good idea and ran it into the ground.. And he'll do it again. Wait and see.
The original was just as bad and I have watched both.
The only good thing about Zombie's films is the fact that he includes lots and lots of extras and that makes the DVD's worth it. The movies are iffy at best.
I have the original Halloween on Blu Ray... the movies are similar and both are poor examples of "film" but I guess the word classic is thrown around so much anymore who knows.
Halloween II will be the second Halloween II which will become confusing.
