Its been along time since I've seen it but were there elements od Mothers day that were similar to House 1000 corpses.

Zombie thoughts.
 

I like all three of his films. Roger Ebert gave a very positive review to THE DEVIL'S REJECTS. Why does this matter? Ebert is a mainstream critic; it's always important when a mainstream critic acknowledges any genre film; ZOMBIE loves TOBE HOOPER and apparently has an affection for the film,SPIDER BABY as well. The HALLOWEEN remake is decent ,but it really is part prequel and part remake. I really didn't like it at all at first; however, I very much enjoyed it after I bought it on dvd. I think ZOMBIE really is the most important auteur of the genre of the macabre at the moment. He's had three money making films in a row; the first two had some mainstream critical acknowledgement. The third ,well, is an interesting mess.

James Whale for some reason i'd thing you'd not be a fan...

I'm a fan of ROB ZOMBIE...
 

I like his music, stageshow,art and movies. However, I do hope he moves on and away from the white trash,TOBE HOOPER stuff.

Not sure if his next movie will do that, here's a poster.

I really loved it.... Not obviously as good as the original. But still a lotta fun, and Michael was a fucking BEAST!

Oh, and the song "Love Hurts" should never be played in a Horror movie, much less a HALLOWEEN movie! :p

I saw this kid today at work who looked just like the kid who played Michael Myers, especially his eyes. Kind of freaked me out.

I liked it, it definately had his stamp on it. The b-grade sleazy, dirty white trash characters. I think The Devils Rejects is my favourite of his.

Thing is though, Zombie is coming into the industry as a FAN of horror, not from film school.
If you look at his films from that POV it makes his movies look alot different.
IMHO
I think he does alright.

That's interesting. I didn't know that, and you're right- it does change things a little.

rob zombies HALLOWEEN
 

first of all, i only saw 40 mins of this stupid movie and that was it for me.Rob should had left it alone. im a big fan of the first movie by john carpenter.rob zombies movie sucked. it was so phoney. to have a 6'8 Goon play the part of myersis so stupid.myers was never that tall in all the movies. its a joke:mad:

There may be plenty of reasons to criticize Zombie's remake, but because the antagonist was taller than the original envisioned by Carpenter is not one of them.

when i first heard about this i just shook my head as Halloween is my favourite film of all time but after watching it....it's ok. not great. i did like the first part when he was a wee boy and in the hospital

he was brave to make it lol even braver to make H2 lol

Dan

zombies halloween was awesome.
 

i dont know what everyones problem with Rob Zombies halloweeen was. i thought it was amazing. He took people deeper into the life of Myers and showed how he ended up as he did. This film was a work of art. People need to stop comparing it to the original and appreciate it for what it is.

thats kills the whole purpose of michael myers. One of the greatest things about him was that you knew nothing about him.

I'm not saying I disagree but... why?

Don't even remember making this thread. :S

Why was the poll closed?

You didn't set the poll to last forever. They expire after awhile.

Really? Never noticed that?

Result of merging multiple threads on same topic. Poll was created by someone else.

Before anybody posts again about Rob Zombie's Halloween read this book:
http://www.amazon.com/After-Babel-As...3468199&sr=1-1
It is highly relevant to the issues expressed in this thread.

I thought it was going to be something by you when I clicked the link. :p

I know you did. Thank you for clicking anyway. Alas, I am not a world famous linguist but rather an unpopular novelist. As soon as I have the energy, I will look over that book and compose a tiresome article on the hermeneutics of remakes that I will have just to post on my blog because I hope to God nobody would publish something so dull but so necessary.

A question mark with a really easy answer:


He's a psychopath... Naturally he's unpredictable. If someone I loved stabbed me with a huge ass knife i'd be pissed off too. And even after that, it didn't really seem like he was trying to 'kill' her, just get her back. (Unless i'm forgetting a detail). He tackled her out the window, but that almost seemed like self defense. If he wanted to kill her right then he could have easily just thrown her out the window.


Also, I realize this is an old post, i'm just reading bits and pieces.
