I kind of wish Zombie would move on and do something else....like T-Rex..




But apparently he can't get funding for that.

Gotta say that's the best trailer yet. Again, the trailer for his remake looked great as well, so I'm not gonna jump the gun and say this will be great. I will watch it though.

Quoted from dresseme More psychological?  It's just him storming around, killing people.....again.

Well...obviously.

Except MAYBE for the original, Michael getting into whatever place and killing people is the trademark of the series. That's not gonna go away any time soon.

I'm talking about the characters. Laurie is clearly about to snap and even the other characters seem damaged by their encounter with Michael in the first movie. The old franchise tried to do this, but besides Loomis and maybe Jaime, they didn't really emphasize it.

Michael himself is treated in a more psychological-horror aspect this time around as well.

Rob still seems to have a  hard-on for gross and perverted characters though. That really needs to go. Horror doesn't work if the victims aren't sympathetic.

And yeah, T-Rex looks very good -- the idea of it, anyway.

I think those types of characters work great in horror films... as long as they're the villains! The biggest problem with RZ's Halloween was that most of the victoms were no more sympathetic than Micheal himself.

I have to say I think the trailer was the best footage I have seen from this movie.
It looks like it will have a good atmosphere, at least.
The simple theme over the trailer also helped create a more creepy feel about it.
I'm kind of dreading what kind of characters we will end up seeing in this, but I hope there is at least one person you might want to see stay alive.

I just hope this ends up at least being a half decent movie. It might be a little cheesey, but I just hope Zombie has upped his game for this. I'm still going to watch it with low expectations but the trailer peaked my interest.

Yeah but Dressel that whole thing with his wife being in Micheal's head. Dumbest thing ever right!?

Quoted from Aaron Yeah but Dressel that whole thing with his wife being in Micheal's head. Dumbest thing ever right!?

There's none of that in the new trailer. Maybe Rob listened to the fans and cut her part... God, I fucking hope so.

Just another excuse to put his wife in the film.  

They wouldnt cut her out of the film just to suit what fans have moaned about and rightly so. I just think this trailer decided against putting her images in it as they have been shown before.

I think the glimpses show Scout kind of morphing into Sherri - mother/daughter thing -  as are some of the other hallucinations that Myers may see of himself and his mother and his younger self.
I'm thinking that by the end of the flick, Myers and Laurie may share something, like a completion of a circle. How it comes across, hopefully not as deluded as I described, is interesting to me.

I dont want a H4 ending, but I suppose the good thing about it is that from the trailer you dont really know how it will all end up.

One negative, or positive, is when I watch the trailer I cant stop laughing at the Coroner van crash and the driver inside: " I'm trapped, help - OWWWW!"
Loomis " D-E-A-D!" speech comes across pretty awkward too.

Love seeing Micheal tip over the car. Pretty cool stuff.

I thought House of 1000 Corpses was excellent. A really, really good, low budget film with interesting characters, excellent visuals and great atmosphere.

Film is a funny thing.

I think he was on a hiding to nothing with Halloween. It was a one movie trick that worked really well in the hands of an accomplished director but had no where to go after that.

The only thing really going for it was the whole "boogeyman" thing where he was there one minute and gone the next.

Michael Myers is a fun character and one of the favourites along with Freddy and Jason, but like Jason, his story is very restricting (a Freddy remake would be much easier, you can do anything with a guy who invades dreams).

There just isn't enough in the story to take it anywhere. Films have moved on in the last 30 years.

The back story was a mistake because it took away the only thing that was interesting about the character (the mystery), but at the same time the whole mystery thing is redundant now anyway because he's such an established character and the genre has developed beyond that.

In some ways they would have been better off getting rid of everything apart from Myers and just completely re-inventing it, rather than refining it.

The trailer looked in between good and alright. lol "Ow I'm trapped"

I agree, the car tipping over was kind of cool. Looks interesting but..still a little iffy. Am I the only one who liked that D-E-A-D speech?
