And it's spelled....MOVIE(your sig) :rolleyes:

Didnt hate it, but didnt really like it much either.

Yeh that was pretty cool. Man this remake gets a lot of shit! I thought it was decent although its Zombie's weakest film so far.
The ending of the workprint reminded me of Frankenstein and gave the film a way different feel... didn't really appreciate it the first time I saw it and was annoyed but now I prefer it over the one that was used when it was released.
It's a hell of a lot better than The Omen or Hitcher remakes.

ZOMBIE got me with the GOD OF THUNDER..
 

He got me with GOD OF THUNDER and the KISS shirt right from the start; however, it's ZOMBIE's weakest film thus far. ZOMBIE likes to show his influences.

Read through this one from beginning to end, La Chat Noire.

Even though I have my issues with this remake, I'm surprised by how many people consider this to be Zombie's weakest film. I definitely liked this one better than House of A Thousand Corpses and Devil's Rejects. And I agree that although the original Halloween is much better (obviously), as far as remakes go this one was decent. I can respect that he tried to do something different and make it his own, even if I don't agree with all the changes made.

House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects totally kill Halloween

They are modern classics that reinvented some tried and true aesthetics of the genre. Great scripts and preformances... true horror films for true fans of the genre. But whatever I'm one of the few people that think that. His work is easily the best of the last 10 years in US horror cinema.

Halloween is just another remake to me it had elements of his earlier films but it just didn't work as well for me. Perhaps because he was somewhat restrained to staying close to the original work.

I agree with you Elvis. Zombie went back to the legends of the South and Midwest roadside horror attractions. Great take on not just horror movies but the traditions of horror in the USA. Zombie knew what he was doing with his first two films. If modern horror fans were better versed in both the history of horror films and rural legends they'd appreciate them more.

I'm kinda shocked by the Hate that Zombies first 2 films got. I love them - sure they are flawed but they are sooooooooooo enjoyable.

I think in general I just like a little more mystery and distance from the killer(s). House and Rejects were up close into the Firefly's lives and family dynamics. At least that's what I remember, but it's been about 3 years since I've watched them. Might need another viewing. But if people like horror roadside attraction type movies, Dark Ride wasn't too bad.
