Very well put. I guess my issue is that while I do recognize that part of the point is to reverse the traditional family dynamic, I'm just not interested or compelled to watch the family dynamic.

But then again, that's me. At least now I have a bit more insight as to the popularity of the film. Thanks. :)

Sure. :) Everyone is different. Basically comes down to personal taste. And I admit to wondering what the heck other people see in certain films...LOL. The Halloween remake for one. ;)

How does the unrated version compare to the theatrical? I'm thinking about buying the unrated.

I really only noticed one scene in the unrated that wasn't in the theater version, I really can't take scenes like that one that was added. I'm not going to spoil it for you, but it has to do with how he breaks out of the looney ward. To be honest, even though I couldn't take it, it was much more enjoyable than the theater version. If you liked the theater one then then this is worth buying imo.

Rob writes the dumbest dialog ever... it had me cringing in my seat it was so bad... a film spectator shouldn't have to suspend their disbelief after every word that is spoken...

I must admit. I didnt hate the remake. It wasnt great, wasnt horrible IMO.
Couldnt touch the orginal, then again, nothing else can as far as Im concerned.

I didn't mind the movie actually (Halloween). I do however have some criticisms of it that really bugged me though. Mainly, I was upset about the first part. I'm not sure what Rob Zombie's childhood was like, but I'm betting he decided to tell his own fucked up story on film, which had very disinterested. And of course if you grow up with a stripper for a mama, a lazy douchebag molester as a stepdaddy and a whore for a sister you'll end up a psycho serial killer.... Or worse yet...
Emo!

I did enjoy watching Michael's descent into complete insanity in the form of a reel to reel recording. I think if Zombie only had that, and the minimal backstory of the original I'd have had a better time watching it, instead of being bored to tears watching these rednecks who's only place in this world is on the Jerry Springer show.

The second half though was fun to watch. Just another hack-em-up horror. You could see Zombie attempt to pull off that 'fading into darkness' thing but couldn't pull it off. After that it was just blood blood and more blood. And apparently Mike Myers can 'smell' the redneck on people, because the only way he knew that Laurie was his sister was by smelling the mail she dropped off at the old Myers residence (anyone notice that?).

I do have to commend Zombie on showing every bit of titty that he could, including the grown up tittays of the little girl from 4 and 5. That's class Zombie

Real pissed that this didn't get a theatrical release over here....
I've only seen the workprint version that was floating around last year and I dug it. I thought it was a pretty strong entry to the series after the horrible pile of shit that was Resurrection. Rob Zombie's flicks are some of the best modern horror vehciles of the last 10 years.
