this movie proves the reason why I havent watched any Rob Zombie movies...whats the redneck/white trash fasination all about....didnt fit at all in this movie.. 3/10 ...this should never been a Halloween movie

I didn't really like it. There were only really 2 parts that made me jump, the latter one causing me to hit my self in the jaw and bite my lip pretty hard. Other than that I was completely unimpressed. Zombie's choice to recycle the Devil's Rejects actors was a bad move in my opinion and he didn't stop there. He also reused a lot of the camera angles and techniques that made House of 1000 corpses and devil's Rejects so eerie. Also the whole "if you have sex you will die" stereotype is so overused.

What I realllllly didn't like though, was giving Michael a face. It made me sympathize and, in turn, like the movie a whooolllle lot less than I would have if it was a straight up remake rather than a prequel.

From Variety (www.variety.com) :-

"Rob Zombie's "Halloween" shook up Friday moviegoers with a boffo $10.98 million from 3,472 venues.

The estimate for the MGM distributed Dimension title reps the highest Friday ever for a Labor Day weekend entry or holdover.

The last pic to post a Friday high over the Labor Day frame was 2005's "Transporter 2" which soaked up $5.6 million on its opening day."


Its a commercial success already.

Guess Zombie wont be complaining, after all.:rolleyes:

well, i'll see it but i don't know if i'll like it.

this movie is a big poop

this movie made poo nuts so I told it to go poo-nuts

I said, "GO AWAY, POO NUTS!"

but should i go see it? i was going to go this afternoon but now i'm not sure. i don' t really want to give money to a poo-nutty film (i'd normally just wait a few weeks until its in the long slide) but i feel almost obliged to see it?

what's my ethical obligation as a horror fan??

I do believe you are obliged. Just like I feel obliged to listen to any Beatles song that is playing just because it's the Beatles. Who knows? You may even like it, just don't punch yourself in the jaw like i did.... on that note, do you think I could sue Rob Zombie for inflicting pain in my lip through a crappy movie.

If you are really serious, and you really want to know, you'll at least go to see it.

I'll tell ya something though: I walked out, and I got my money back.

But you may have a problem here. Because I don't think they let little monkeys into the theatre. Not even little monkeys with money.

You got your money back? Why didn't I think of that. I spent most of the time walking around the lobby and when I got back to the movie I still knew what was going on.
