I absolutely love this film (original of course), though the remake wasn't as bad as one would think in comparison to current remakes.

What made the original film and even some of Zombie's other excellent films so excellent was character development. This film barely did that with the exception of Myers and that guard in the prison. I could care less about any of the characters. Second, he destroyed too much of the mystery. He, essentially, explained why Myers did the killing. This is what made the original slashers including Halloween so excellent. That you did not know why. It was more like a personification of evil (in the original Hallowen series)..

Completely agree with you there, but, I absolutely despised the remake(s).
Haven't been on here in a while/haven't seen any great underground films lately. On that note, I could definitely use some recommendations-preferably very dark, gory, and sadistic-(though not too rapey). Nothing over topping I Spit On Your Grave or Last House On The Left. (rape wise)
