Zombie did a half-decent job with the atmosphere and the pacing, but overall...flat.
I sincerely hope he doesnt make #3.

I liked it quite a bit. I knew exactly what I was going into when I went. I thought the movie was great in terms of visuals. I was surprised at how big of a role Brad Dourif had and was quite pleased with it. It was a fucking brutal movie, of course, but Zombie does a better job at fleshing out his characters (save Loomis) from his original. I never bought Laurie's "tough girl" act, though I thought that helped the movie. Annie seems to have matured and is worried about her father's health, which I thought was a pretty good decision. Brackett stole the show for me though, best performance in the movie. And damn it, I just love seeing Michael Myers!
Enjoyed it and I will be buying the DVD and using it frequently. I love watching Zombie's movies when I'm drunk with friends. Haha.
