Why do you reckon that is? I always feel the ppl who seem to hate either director actually delike tehir fans alot more. Remaking a classic with Halloween of course hadn't done Zombie's cause much good but I feel ppl still had this attitude when he had only 2 films under his belt..
I don't think everybody gets Zombie's movies. They're smart and almost annoyingly postmodern. The problem with Halloween actually is that he couldn't balance the postmodern elements with the splatpunk ones and the source material. I didn't like Devil's Rejects as much as House because it's too damn cerebral and not nearly as intuitive.
