Honestly I liked it. Find it hillarious that people say that THIS ruined the franchise. Not any of the sequels after 3, not the sequel with Busta Rhymes, no THIS one ruined it by....fleshing out and giving its own take on the main character.

If this movie opened with Loomis meeting Michael for the first time after he was committed, and framed everything from Loomis' perspective rather than Michael's, then this movie would probably be a lot better.

[@LibraGamesUnlimited]

Certainly wouldn't hurt. It might clear up one the worst things about it, to me, demystifying Micheal. That is a common mistake with modern horror movies, in general. They give way too much backstory to the killer, try to build sympathy (or at least explain why the killer is killing people) then doesn't spend anytime fleshing out the victims (or even making them really unlikable) because they want us to like and root for the killer, which is weird. Rob Zombie seems to be worst at this since, by his own admission, he identifies with the killers more (just look at "Devil's Rejects" and how much he clearly wants us to root for the killer family). Of course, I also blame it on a desire to make the next great horror movie icon and it is an easier sell if the killer is humanized (which is why Freddy became more jokey as that series went on), the downside of that is it is the mystery and the sense of the unknown that makes a character like Micheal so compelling.

[@GasmaskAvenger]

The whole "unreliable narrator" framing was something I thought up for a potential third film in this universe, leading to a Cult of Thorn led by Conal Cochran...but that never panned out lol.

[@mangmerciless9606]

@@LibraGamesUnlimited exactly, giving Michael a reason to kill was a big big mistake. It's why this movie sucked.

[@LibraGamesUnlimited]

To me, there are two issues with that: (1) they demystified him and (2) giving him a rotten home life made him just like a million, real life, killers we see every day. Both took a character who was larger than life and made him every day. Ironically, they made him less while making him physically a giant. All of it hurt the movie and the thinking behind it is what is killing horror movies today.

The biggest problem I have with this film is the overlong trite explanation for Michael Myers being evil. As Patton Oswalt put it: “I don’t give a shit where the stuff I love comes from; I just love the stuff I love!” Also, Laurie is the one character I wanted dead that didn’t die. Danielle Harris’s Annie was better in this and especially in the next one.

[@geoffreysorkin5774]

As to Danielle Harris, it helps that she's a good actress. At the very least, a good enough actress to make up for a bad director. I haven't seen the lead in enough other things to know whether this was crappy direction or she just can't act.

[@jeremiahc620]

My biggest problem is how he made Michael Myers way too fuckin big ha

[@CSC52698]

I was more excited to see Malcolm McDowell's portrayal as Dr. Loomis than anything. I thought he did well. He was no Donald Pleasance, and that's nothing against McDowell's performance. Dr. Sam Loomis still is one of my favourite film characters of all time. He'll be missed in the up, and coming film. I'll still watch it. I hear they have a little voice cameo from Mr. Pleasance.

I don't... actually want to know Michael's backstory. Part of the appeal of the original Halloween was that this suburban kid stabbed his sister to death for seemingly no reason. Michael as the weird Hot Topic kid who strangely resembles a baby Michael Pitt and enjoys setting cats on fire or whatever? No thanks.

[@GM_Darius]

Part of my reasoning of not wanting to know is just that I don't care. Most any movie, series or what not can make a person sympathetic towards the villain. This really doesn't, in my case. And even if it did, I'd still err on the side of "Throw the psycho kid in a loony bin once the dead cat was found".

[@phreakazoith2237]

Even more if the backstory does not give credit to the development of a horror franchise. This backstory trys to explain Michael the psyko. Okay. fair enough. mildly interesting. Works for Hannibal Lector. But Michael already became this unstoppable uberbeast taking stabs and bullets and still keep going or at least coming back for the next movie. This cannot be explained by him having a horrible childhood and torturing sentient beings. So why the endless digging in his backstory and talk and trying to explain? Did Freddy's backstory ever really explain how a burnt child murderer became a dream demon? Did Jason's backstory explain how a drowned kid became a bulky psyko?

[@AspieMediaBobby]

@Phreak Azoith Rob Zombie said in an interview that the backstory wasn`t meant to explain or justify Michael`s actions so much as to keep The Film from being purely a remake of The Original,also The Sequels already chipped away at the mystique surrounding Michael`s origins. Also,even though Michael is described as a psychopath in The Film his characteristics are more that of a low-functioning sociopath whilst Classic Michael though never described as a psychopath fit the characteristics of one better.The humanization of Michael also already happened in Halloween 4.Same with the telepathic connection with a relative.

[@Alucard-A-La-Carte]

Aw man, now all those Michael Meyers apologists are gonna DMCA this too! And I think Rob Zombie has great ideas, but problems with execution. For instance: this whole "troubled upbringing" origin. So the absolute epitome of evil was created by having a worse-than-average house life?? What if he'd had an idyllic life with everything handed to him, but STILL turned out to be Michael Meyers?? Wouldn't THAT be an interesting take? "No matter what, he was ALWAYS going to be evil." Because trying to "justify" it with a bad upbringing is just...dull?

[@bruixeria]

Well the original gives you the had a normal home life but ended up a murderer anyway option. I think Rob zombie just wanted to explore the other option. It's like the whole nature vs nurture debate. The original implies that even with a seemingly perfectly normal middle class upbringing Michael was going to turn into a murderer no matter what. His brain was just wired differently. Nothing could have prevented it. This one implies that it's his crappy childhood that made him this way and that things possibly could have been different if his household had been more stable. In the real world many serial killers come from both backgrounds. Some had perfectly healthy and normal childhoods and ended up monsters anyway because they were just born that way and others grew up in horrible conditions that turned them into monsters.

If Michael's childhood had been explored in a more "We Need To Talk About Kevin" kind of way, with Deborah Myers and Loomis as the leads, it would be so much better. You could drop the Laurie plot entirely and just have it be a prequel. Kind of like The Thing 2011 but not a steaming pile of shit.

[@labenvenci1584]

18:55 Fun Fact: There was a planned ending where at that part, Michael would have a flashback and lets go of Laurie, then gets gunned down. The end. It was poorly recieved by test screeners and is only in the semi-lost Producers cut. Same thing with the prison escape, It being Michael killing 2 of the guards while they were escorting him, although they wanted something more intense so it was cut out and reshot.

[@lich109]

Right, because that was the only part of this movie that needed to be changed, the payoff from the buildup in the opening before Michael is committed. It wasn't worth changing the opening itself, which would be less painful if its audio was just nails on chalkboards for 5 minutes.

[@danielvandersall6756]

Let's be really honest; those terms have become so confused that they're almost used interchangeably. Professionals no longer use either term, preferring to use various forms of "Personality Disorder." Put really simply--Batman is a psychopath. He believes that his actions, no matter how bizarre or outside the norm, are actually serving a purpose. It is part of a plan, and that is a plan that in the end will benefit society--in Batman's case, saving Gotham from criminality. The Joker is a Sociopath. He is perfectly aware that his actions are harmful; that he is hurting people, ruining or taking lives, and damaging society as a whole. He just doesn't care. As a wise man once said--"some people just want to watch the world burn."

The first one is watchable, at least, the second half is. The entirety of part 2? Can’t say I enjoy that. Rob Zombie just made everyone even more unlikable. He made Myers a supernatural killer even though he criticized the others for having a supernatural Myers. He had scenes like the strip club scene where he just needlessly kills people. Just really dislike part 2.

Instead we get a completely generic, cliche serial killer background story and a slasher flick full of genuinely unlikable characters. Granted it was better on its own merits than the followup....ugh.

[@zipzopzoobitty]

I never got the vibe from the original that the idea is, that just any ordinary person can snap. Especially not from Lumis' commentary on Michael. Michael was just evil incarnate, incable of rehabilitation, so sociopathic as to be nigh demonic, not some commentary on simply being a normy who snapped into a crazy, which this remake also certainly failed to grasp. Hell, showing Michael as a kid in the beginning of the original doing this stuff seemed to blatantly be establishing this aspect from the jump. Michael wasn't some weathered individual who just snapped from a life of suffering or something, he was just a child that simply got to where he was finally capable enough of manifesting his evil into action at that point.

No other horror series has ever genre switched like that. If these movies went from grounded slasher film to psychological thriller, that would be pretty cool. All the bits with Michael are the worst parts of H2 for me, and I know the Laurie stuff is kind of annoying and not acted all that well, but I like the way it's written. It's a big guilty pleasure of mine, I don't think it's nearly as atrocious as most people say.

But there is a right way and a wrong way to portray that on screen. In addition to the fact that the family of assholes are just asshole stereotypes with no variations whatsoever, it just seems like everyone in this remake is foul-mouthed, loud, and annoying (with the exception of Dr. Loomis and Sheriff Bracket, who are both ironically played by actors who have played iconic movie killers). Virtually everyone else is portrayed as some sort of asshole, regardless of their role in the film, which doesn't create a realistic world and therefore makes this sort of stuff stand out like a sore thumb

Honestly, I prefer Resurrection over the Rob Zombie films. Zombie’s films are terribly written (seriously, it’s like he had a quota for every swear word in existence), and I still don’t like that they gave Michael Myers a backstory (especially the generic abusive family trope). Resurrection is completely ridiculous and poorly made, but it’s got a lot of so bad it’s good qualities to it. How can you not laugh at Busta Rhymes telling off the real Michael Myers and his kung fu moves?

[@duowest642]

What really bothered me about Malcom McDowell's portrayal of Loomis is that he's so obsessed with the celebrity status that being Micheal Myers' doctor gives and that he exploits the shit out of it. Donald Pleasance's Loomis would be disgusted by someone like him. He just wanted Micheal dead or locked away forever to protect society from him. He didn't care about being famous. He would have scoffed at the very idea of exploiting Micheal's actions for personal gain.

[@sincitysinner9239]

When this movie first came out I tried really hard to like it, and I seriously gave it every fucking chance, but it just repeatedly let me down. The beginning scene with the drunk step dad and his ridiculous dialogue was a huge red flag right out of the gate, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt and soldiered on. Dedicating the first 3rd of the movie to Michael's fucked up childhood was a very unpopular decision by Zombie that a lot of people hated, but I thought it had potential and gave Zombie a chance to make it his own, and it had some decent moments but overall it hurt the movie because every fucking adult in his life was a complete and total asshat. When he finally started killing people I slightly got back into the movie because most of the kills were decently filmed and satisfyingly violent and semi realistic, like the way his sister's boyfriend went into those crazy spasms after the baseball bat to the head, that's how the body reacts to severe head trauma. So by the time he was institutionalized I was ready to give the movie another chance, but the scene with the nurse is where I completely checked out. That fucking scene is one of the dumbest and worst scenes in horror movie history and was the moment where I finally gave up and came to the conclusion that this movie isn't artsy or the gritty realistic film Zombie was trying to make, it was a cheap and dumb imitation of a classic. Seriously though, that nurse scene is just painful to watch. That dumb bitch knew Michael was a psychopath who murdered multiple people, so she decides to immediately insult him and talk shit to him after giving him a METAL fork, then turns her back on him to read her paper. What institution that houses psycho killers gives the inmates metal silverware? Have they never heard of plastic sporks? So not only does she arm him with a deadly weapon, she talks shit right to his face, then turns around. She might as well have just painted a target on her back and just told him to go ahead and kill her because she didn't do a single thing to let the audience know that she wasn't just some victim for Mikey.

This movie needs to put all its budget in the swear jar

[@stevenclubb7718]

As someone who really enjoyed the pre-remake portions of this film, I was prepared to defend its honor... but fair enough. I still say Zombie did a good job supplying a non-explanation to Mikey in line with research into serial killers. He had an unpleasant childhood, but nothing so awful as to "explain" him... he just reacted in a twisted way to these stressors and was a seriously creepy kid. But Rob was completely the wrong guy for a suburban horror movie like Carpenter's original and the wheels came off when it stopped being white trashy.

What a better way to start the month of Halloween than with .... Rob Zombie's Halloween?

[@benhramiak8781]

"...Oh... i think i get it now." Nice delivery and expression. The slow realisation of what the film will be like

11:57 - If I were Ken Foree, I would be ashamed of this bit part I played. He was Kenan Rockmore's dad; far as I am concerned, he deserves better.

[@thehat2243]

I've been waiting for this since your review of Halloween Resurrection and I think this may be your best Halloween review yet (in my opinion of course)

[@HarperSanchez]

A moment of silence now for all the great actors that could have been in an amazing horror movie together but instead were in Rob Zombie movies before dying.

[@baronsledjoys1363]

I've watched this movie before with the mindset that it's supposed to be a comedy. And honestly, I think it's on par with Mel Brooks!

[@JebWCManning]

Just out of curiosity, are you going to do a tie in episode to Goosebumps: Haunted Halloween by reviewing an episode of the 90's show? There's a lot of episodes that could make for great materiel. Honestly even the really good episodes could be made fun of a bit. Ghost Beach, My Hairiest Adventure, Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes, Welcome to Dead House, Welcome to Camp Nightmare, The Haunted Mask, The Werewolf of Fever Swamp, A Night in Terror Tower, One Day at HorrorLand, Night of the Living Dummy II, It Came from Beneath the Sink, Attack of the Jack-O'-Lanterns, Cry of the Cat, Attack of the Mutant, and a lot more could make great snob episodes.

Zombie should've renamed his version ``Fuckaween"

[@RobertGreenwald]

Hooray, a Doom Generation reference! That means somebody saw that movie besides me! (I do love the soundtrack to it)
