Writers have “Writer’s Block”. What kind of block do you call it when film makers creatively dry up to the point that they can’t even think up sequels anymore, but must start all over by mucking up an original idea of someone else’s.

That’s bad enough, but they forget that a good horror film suceeds largely by what you don’t see and not by what you do see. “The Thing From Another World” is a perfect example of this basic principle of a good sci fi or horror film. So, it doesn’t come as a shock that they would be dumb enough to unmask Michael Myers for most of the umpteenth retread of the Halloween films. However, this kind of “creativity” could very well eventually kill the genre.

Hey Chris J,

The rape scene I was referring to was in the deleted scenes and the extended cut.

I wished i could a better answer other than Micheal is pure evil as shown in the original film. I agree with ya Doug and Alex. Im glad there actually some origin story-telling in Zombie’s remake. To me, if i enjoy a movie like Zombie’s remake and like it, then it has to be good in its own kind of way. And im a picky person about movies. What i saw a kid in a bad situation kind of life, and i almost feel sorry him aswell as his mother. That makes wonder what role his mother will play in the sequel. Doug and Alex, i know im gonna kick myself in the butt for asking but it wasnt Michael who raped someone was he? Im refering to the scenes of Anni’es bloody body lying on the floor. Or were you two talkin about the deleted scenes with those two guys dragging the female inmate. And not to sound perverted or anything, does anyone know if Danielle Harris will be topless in this one? That caught me off gaurd in the first film. probly because i had a crush on her when I watched Halloweens 4 & 5 when i was young.

a have to disagree when you say that rob zombie is a bad director.i thought that the 2007 remake was a good idea because it actually shows where micheal myers came from and why he turned into this person unlike the other movies.but saying that it is abit strange seeing the 1st film being fast forwarded like that.i think it should have been done in 2 parts to show more respect to the original.

Now, I’ve read all of these comments very clearly. Many of which have good values in their opinions. I’m a huge Micheal Myers fan, he’s my favorite to watch. So, I say that Rob did an excellent job with the movie. Some things were a little different for me in the way that I took them. However, I did find myself intrigued and waiting for what happened next. It was a fun movie to watch and I’m anticipating the second. Watch it and give it a chance.

I really enjoyed his attempt at recreating the first film. I might have went a diffrent way with the breakfast scene with the whole disfunctional family but…for the most part, I think he got it right. I feel like most horror movies went to far in the day and had way to many Part’s. How many Friday the 13th’s are there anyway? I’ll give it a shot and watch it…I just hope they don’t do like 10 of them.

Sorry doug, but that very wrong. What made the original so scary was the not knowing. This shadowy seemingly invincible force coming after everyone you know and love and then you. That was scary Rob’s movie was not only awful and poorly written, but it wasn’t even scary. There were more funny moments than scary moments. He took all the horror out of Myers and made him a pathetic man. As Ross said the over use of language and gore/violence was so desensitizing that the film wasn’t even frighting. The original Halloween was a masterpiece in the horror genre Rob’s was a joke and an insult to both the original and the genre it’s self.

Then “Silence of the Lambs” in your opinion sucks Jake. Why did he and other serial killers do what they do is not important.

I disagree. Understanding their psychosis is the root of a great horror film. Serial killers are the deepest and darkest parts of humanity.

What makes a young child kill small animals?

The relationship to how that makes it easier to kill people is vital. Rob Zombie took the the time to develop these ideas. Why would a child start putting on masks and later making masking to separate himself from humanity. It’s easier to kill others.

Rob Zombie understood this. It’s smart. I don’t agree with everything he did but it was smart.

Try looking at the movie with fresh eyes.

I look forward to the new movie.

I’ve never been into the horror genre much, although I liked Friday the 13th series for the most part. I saw this movie and thought it sucked. I wish they didn’t give crappy movies sequels.

The essence of horror is not knowing. And the essence of good horror is not knowing “WHY?”.

Explaining why to a horror audience does two things. 1) informs them that you don’t understand what’s frightening. and 2) belittles their intelligence.

The fact that Rob Zombie made an entire film about “WHY” the boogie man is the boogie man puts him down there with the likes of Ed Wood and Ewe Bolle in lack of understanding the medium, the genre and the essence of horror. He’s a hack. A stylish hack, but a hack nonetheless.

Agreed, finally we know why he’s so ef’d up in the head. Hope the next one is also good.

You’re not wrong, Doug. The story was well done and it gave a great back story on Myers. I do agree that the rape scene was completely pointless and I will add that the acting was worse than terrible but everything about Michael Myers was great. It explained a lot of the “why’s”. If only Friday the 13th could have followed that example but it’s always a step behind.

I DID like Zombie’s take on Halloween. He gave much more context to why Michael Myers goes off the deep end. The original shows him as a child just killing his sister for no apparent reason. I’ve got the extended version on dvd. I don’t like that version as much for the completely unnecessary rape scene. But, other than that a much more complex and interesting story overall. Of course, that’s just my opinion and I could be wrong.
