Sick Product of a Sick System

One of my all time favorites.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I think the idea behind the film is that everything is a delusion/dream of Laurie's, and that she's spent the entire time in an insane asylum. Whether it's the medication she is taking or her psychosis, she's hallucinated everything, and none of it is exactly real.The other option is that Michael is dead and that she is suffering from a split personality; seeing the horse and her dead mother, thinking she is Michael, etc. What makes me think this is a part in one of the endings. She comes out wearing Michael's mask, and in the alternate ending, they begin to shoot her. Either way, I think it's open to interpretation, but I don't think most audience members got it.

Rob Zombie's world is different. We all know that. After the 2007 remake of Halloween this is now the sequel to it. And once again Zombie follows his path relentlessly, despite all the criticism for the first attempt. The director took this classic and gave it a complete overhaul. Not only in story but also in the way the characters are presented. Remember the original? We all liked Dr. Loomis, right? Not so in this one. Loomis is one of the least likable characters in this movie and totally self centered. Michael Myers still stands tall and is so much more impressive than in the original. By this I mean just the appearance. If I would see the Michael from the original at night on a dark street, I'd just think "what a weirdo". If I came across this one, I better run as fast as I can! Also all other characters have been dragged through the dirt of what I would describe as a reality check. You easily can imagine meeting any of these characters in real life and they would just behave the way they do in this movie. It almost doesn't feel like acted and I really like this approach. Yet I still miss the intense atmosphere of the original movies. If you are just looking for an impressive slasher let loose, then this movie is for you. I am totally capable of enjoying both versions for different reasons.

I hated the theatrical cut because the story was poorly executed with script problems but version of the film fix it. I gave the theatrical cut a 2/10 and I'll say again and I'll not say it again the reason why I made this account because the review the unrated director's cut of the Rob Zombie film or maybe review the producers cut of Halloween 6. Anyways I enjoyed this more than the first one because it does have more of a eerie setting compared to the first one. The story is told well including the script. If I was actually a fan of both of the Rob Zombie film than I'll think the second one is better. Anyways I like this version of the film.

The Rob Zombie films are the worse films in the series. They are worse than "Halloween 8". Where the original films had distinct voices for the three girls Rob Zombie makes everyone sound like tattooed White Trash! I guess He wrote t he knows"Now if it was up to me I would re-start the series. I would called it "Halloween: The True Michael Myers Story". I would have take place in the 1970's. I would have 3 houses where Michael is Stalking and people disappearing. I would show him breaking into a store and steeling "Mask, Rope, & a couple of knives". I would change the name of the girls so that way you don't know who will be the final girl. Now if you liked this film that's fine but "Its garbage to me"
