Johnny Vendeta gives us his thoughts on a test screening of Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN!!!
Hey folks, Harry here... Quint announces he's headed to London and they decide to test screen Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN. This can't be mere chance... or is it? Heh. Well, I know a positive review of Zombie's HALLOWEEN is going to cause many cries of plant - but reading Johnny Vendeta's review makes a lot of sense. For one - he's got the details right, based off the script I read. AND - the criticism for a lack of suspense due to the extreme focus on Michael's character... rings very true, but the reaction to the film shifting from an atmospheric suspense horror slasher film to a more brutal action horror film - feels like what Rob Zombie was intending from the direction the script went in. I'm just glad that it seems to be on a good track - although personally... I wish Zombie had created his own slasher character and left remakes alone. He can generate amazing original material, and I hope after this, that that's the direction he goes in. Here's Johnny's review...
Hello Harry, This is the first time that I have ever written a review for your site. Hopefully your review of my review won't be harsh, but here it goes.... Last night, I had the pleasure of being invited to see one of the first screenings of Rob Zombie's 'Halloween' last night on 34th Street in NYC. First, let me start off by saying that I LOVED John Carpenter's original 'Halloween'. The original is a classic and each following sequel had exponentially decreased in quality. But the character is a classic. Freddy is too humorous. Jason is a rip-off of Michael. Chucky is just ridiculous. Michael is the only horror villain whom, if I was in his line of sight, I would probably be paralyzed in terror. Onto the movie. It was a rough cut. They said the sound and picture would be a bit off. The picture was great. They used John Carpenter's original score and Blue Oyster Cult's 'Don't Fear The Reaper'. (Minor Spoilers Ahead) The film opens with Michael as a young boy living with his family. He had already begun torturing and killing several pets. This doesn't jar his family. After the school's principal finds photo's of dead animals in Michael's desk, questions directed towards Michael's mother regarding this issue ensue. The solution of psychiatric help is brought up. Enter Dr. Loomis, brilliantly played by Malcolm McDowell. Michael then begins to up his game and seek revenge out on a school boy, who had previously tormented the hell out of him. Michael then stays home on the night of Halloween and goes on a murderous rampage in his house. That's right, not just his sister Judith (played by the grown up 'Jenny' from Forrest Gump) meets her demise. The result is brutal. Michael is then sent off to an asylum receiving several visits from the child psychiatrist, Dr. Loomis. Fifteen years later, Michael breaks out of the asylum and heads 100 miles toward Haddonfield to go on another killing rampage on Halloween again to find his younger sister, Laurie. The actress who plays Laurie is pretty good (Jamie Lee Curtis is a tough act to follow), but not enough time is really spent with her character. I felt as though Rob Zombie wanted to cut to the chase and bring us Michael in top form on Halloween night. The fate of some characters are different. The scene at the very end of the teaser trailer IS in the movie, sans the girls top clothing. I won't give much more away. The Pros: - The beginning. The brutality of what young Michael unleashes is pretty damn brutally effective. - Adult Michael KICKS ASS. He beats the living sh*t out of people...literally. He's back and he's more brutal than before. - When Michael finally confronts Laurie, it is INTENSE. - Supporting characters: Malcolm McDowell is very good. He's humorous and just so damn real. Brad Dourif is great as Chief Brackett. Danny Trejo and his sideburns...has a nice cameo. - The first introduction of the mask is really CREEPY. The Cons: - Lack of suspense. A huge element of what made the original 'Halloween' work was it's suspense. In the remake, Michael is on screen for a majority of the film. You know where he is in almost every scene and you can guess at what he is about to do. What else is he gonna do? Bake a cake? - In some scenes when Michael is attacking a character, the camera shakes like hell. I felt like I was watching the Bourne Supremacy. - The rape of a character. Enough said. - The very ending. After the film was over, I wasn't terrified like the original. Brief flashbacks to when Michael and Laurie were kids contribute to that lack of terror. As a huge fan of the original, I did enjoy the movie. It never dragged. It was shocking and there are many surprises. The dialog is just what you'd expect from a Rob Zombie film. This is Rob Zombie's 'Halloween'. He took away most of the suspense, but brought us more relentless action. Bring us another one, Rob. 7 out of 10 Johnny Vendeta

August 31st that is. That makes sense right. I can do the ads for them.
-
When neagtive reviews of that on workprint were sent it,we were told that AICN would not accept them,now a positivie review of what is basically a workprint is sent in of Halloween,it's printed for all to see. Someone want to be friends with Rob Zombie then? I don't care HOW the viewing was arranged,it's still double standards in my eyes...
-
...God kills a kitten.
-
Give us an `edit` button,pleeeeease!
-
Where's the Reginald VelJohnson cameo at?!
-
It doesn't sound that bad. From the review it is what I expected from Zombie.
-
probably not like it, and then just watch the original again.
-
Brutal and gory action flicks passed off as horror films aren't scary. Someone please give us suspense and terror like the original Halloween.
-
I don't know what's worse, him talking through the mask or raping chicks as an adult. This is "Halloween" Rob, not "The Devil's Rejects 2".
-
Is that figuratively or literally?
-
It's the scumbag orderly and his brother at the mental institution. They rape a female inmate in front of Myers. Needless to say ol'Michael don't take too kindly to that.
-
And am I the only one who caught "Last night, I had the pleasure...last night on 34th Street in NYC" and "The brutality of what young Michael unleashes is pretty damn brutally effective"?
-
and i just spilled my coffee god dammit .......
-
somebody had to say it
-
This is exactly like the psycho remake, pointless and somehow even though everything was set up for it lacks suspense. When will Hollywood learn it's about suspense not gore that makes things scary. Go 1408 I hope that movie kicks ass.
-
What about the GTAS Mask?
-
great. They explained it perfectly.
-
... He's the character getting raped.
-
I know this was a test screening.... but does it use the original theme at all?
-
Yippee Kai Yay Gotta Shit Mask!!
-
Now that's ghastlier than a thousand ghouls!
-
Only this dipshit thinks the idiocy of it is a "pro".
-
ah fuck it. PLANT!!
-
Vince Vaughn's jackoff scene in the new version of Psycho. But I hope what was said above is correct, that Michael is not the rapist. Cuz that would be really gay. Everything else sounds okay. Does he really talk through the mask? I so don't want that. But if they spent a lot more time on the childhood angle, then yeah the movie should be longer to give Laurie some exposition. And it is very true that brutality does not equal suspense or horror, so I hope Zombie at least strikes a balance. In today's world, we see so much brutality in real life that there's not much we'll get squeamish about. Far better do go the Carpenter route and make some genuine suspense.
-
This will be my first. Maybe he'll direct the next James Bond.
-
...that of Rob Zombie taking our youth--in the form of Carpenter's original movie--from behind, and plugging away. I so don't want this to be the George Lucas of horror
-
Had to be said.
-
Michael doesn't rape anyone. An orderly rapes someone at the Nuthouse, and Michael gets away cause he's too busy raping to be paying attention.
-
I take your point, but really, have any of Zombie's movies done that well at the box office? I haven't seen any, in the theater or otherwise. So my guess is if Halloween does well, it's because it IS Halloween with Michael Myers and not because it's a Rob Zombie movie. The studio guys must realize that, so I don't know why they think it would be a good test of Zombie's meddle.
-
I don't need to see this to know that it should not have ever been made to begin with and no shit that the movie is not as terrifying. The 1st one was because it was ORIGINAL. This is nothing more then another cheap ploy of Hollywood goons to cash in on the feeble simple minded movie goer in America who will gladly spoon out their hard earned cash on a shit bucket remake that takes away from a classic. Want to see Halloween? Rent the fucking original and DO NOT give Hollywood your money on this flaming turd.
-
In fact, that's how I escaped. Some dude was raping an invalid at the hospital, so I said, "Feets don't fail me now." And what do you know, I've been working here for fifteen years
-
Hopefully the hack Eli Roth takes some notes so he can learn to make a film that doesn't suck.
-
I heard that the music wasn't finished for the test screening, so they used music from "Addams Family Values" instead. Because Michael is "creepy, and he's kooky, scary and spooky... (snap, snap)." I'm sort of wishing this movie existed in some physical form that would fit in my toilet, so I could make foul upon it
-
no .. sorry i'm just pissed for the LFODH review.
-
As in he kicks them and they graphically poop in their pants with turds falling out of the pants legs? That'd make my day.
-
Maybe he can take some notes from Eli Roth and learn to make a movie,PERIOD.
-
Im sure ill give it a chance but I doubt it will be even close to being the classic the orignial was. I hated the Devil Rejects so I hope its not similar in tone to that movie at all. http://tinyurl.com/pv8do
-
I'm a big fan of the original, but I'm giving Zombie a chance here. I know it won't be a copy of the original, and that's what makes it easier for me to take. If it ends up sucking then it won't even tarnish Carpenter's film. Speaking of Carpenter, the man has to get back to film making, and stop fucking around with the master of horror thing. WE need a new film from you JC.
-
Although AbominableSnowcone's comment that he 'wished to make foul upon it' made me smile - it's been a kinda meh day for genre films. And for God's sake, would everyone just stop talking about Hostel 2! We get it! They plugged it to death and it did poorly at the box office! Okay! Oh, and it sounds like a decent movie. One I won't be watching a whole lot - but I'll see it in theaters to see Malcolm McDowell as Loomis. Super-giddy about that one, I am.
-
If Michael Myers rapes Laurie Strode, I'm gonna pee all over the movie screen.
-
halloween minus the suspense = generic slasher flick. Dont like the sound of this at all.
-
Little suspense, lots of brutality, a rape, and an attempt to explain the villain with a look back at his childhood. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the current state of the horror film in the first decade of the new century.
-
...is your childhood.
-
Zombie raping my childhood. Just wait. If there is a rape scene Zombie will have a cameo giving a thumbs up.
-
Maybe Roth and Zombie can team up and learn from each other!
-
It's the crazy talkback phrase everyone's just bustin' to use!
-
That's all the world needs is some asshole ripping off every cookie-cutter slasher film and applying it to the name HALLOWEEN,when at one time it was the other way around...as it should be.The last time zombie had an original bone in his body was the last time he bent over in front of his hillbilly,carny-folk daddy.
-
Seriously? I don't get it
-
Nothing at all like 1000 CORPSES or DEVIL'S REJECTS then.<P> Sounds like everyone who likes Zombie's other stuff will like this movie.<P> If you thought Zombie was capable of more than just redneck psycho/TCM clones... this ain't gonna be the movie to prove it, by the sound of it.<P> FUCK YOU ROB ZOMBIE!!!
-
explaining the villain with logical thought ain't cool. Scary stuff is stuff you don't understand or sympathize with. That said, I'm still curious about this film, and will probably see it on dvd. I just don't want to call it horror. It's more of a History Channel piece on Michael Myers with re-inactments of some of his acts of horror.
-
Bad dum bum DSSSHHH!!! Seriously though, Zombie blows & Roth swallows.
-
John Carpenter is laughing his ass off at this one. What's next, "Lee Tamahori's Big Trouble in Little China?"
-
And the target audience for this will decide to spend their money on more important things like ringtones and rubbers.
-
meh.
-
horror is dead and you all know it. these no-talent fucks are taking all of the mystery, suspense, comedy, and supernatural elements out of horror and instead filming 2-hour clinics on how to make curbing look realistic.<br><br>only sociopaths enjoy these movies, and there are a lot of them in "first-world" societies. do you mouth-breathers like putting cats in driers and hamsters in the microwave, too? this tripe is neither art nor entertainment for rational, socialized, adjusted human beings. think that's too hyperbolic? you're wrong.
-
is Malcolm Mcdowell, which is a mixed blessing cause the guy's the dramatic version of Gilbert Gottfried. Reviewer's a plant. I might actually be interested in this if it were called "Just Another Slasher Movie", but I hate this whole reboot thing. Just checked out Zombie's "credits" on IMDB. Real crap.
-
that F'd with your mind instead of just plastering you with senseless violence and gore?
-
so if he really pummels people, that means he's really ripping off Jason (who's really ripping off the original Mike Myers)?
-
1408 - kinda' sorta'
-
Even though it sounds... ehhh..

What "amazing original material" can Cummings generate?
by Stalin vs Predator
That syphilitic "film" with corpses in the title? Or the carcass of its sequel? Hopefully a workprint of this leaks and it makes half as much as Hostel II.
-
any good (new) talkbacks about Bayformers, or Sin City 2/3, or about how the Joker's makeup is white instead of off-white?
-
...you KNOW there's no way this can be any worse than H20...I'm actually really looking forward to this AND can't say that I'm a fan of, or have even seen any of his other films.
-
And I've already seen H20, and I know it's awful. I would rather have fifty H20s and Valentines and Freddy vs. Jasons every single year than one more of these pathetic brutality films. These movies are not horror, they are simply voyeuristic portrayals of graphic brutality. There IS a difference.
-
Micheal Myers isnt the one raping anyone. I wonder if they mean that micheal gets raped as a small boy or like the one poster said, someone gets raped in the hospital which allows micheal to escape.
-
If you so much as lay one FINGER on my DAUGHTER, I swear to god I'll FRISK your FILTHY ass, you MISTERFINGER YOU!!
-
...the hospital orderly rapist were busy doing his thing, and he starts moaning, and says "Oh, Jesus, I'm gonna come!"<p> And Mike says, "In that case, I'm gonna GO! Feets don't fail me now! Woop woop woop!"
-
film AT BEST were it something besides HALLOWEEN.Using that name just adds to the shit pile on the name. It doesn't erase it.
-
The chair can spin around and an undead Momma can eviscerate the intruder.
-
...hahahhahahaah... stick to crappy techno buddy.
-
gay vito rapes finn
-
The only reason this guy gets to make these movies is because he had some cool rock music. I hated those crapticles that were House of 1000 Corpses and Devils Rejects. Plus the original wasn't that good in my opinion.
-
... Figured it was gonna suck. Can't Zombie start doing music again? Liked his tunes... they were kick-ass. Maybe suck is too harsh, but I won't be seeing it... have too much respect for the original... sorry.
-
You peeps jump all over every single damn movie like a rabid pack of wolves. Like any of you could produce a better product, you haven't even seen the damn film yet. You get bits and pieces of old, leaked scripts, and shit yourselves every single time. Halloween? Transformers? PG-13 Die Hard? Not one single movie is that has anything to do with your pathetic little past lives is good enough. How much does anyone want to bet a good portion of you haters go to see these movies anyway? Do your mother not wipe your rear ends well enough after you shit? A lot of you should get off the internet and get into a new hobby, LIKE FILMMAKING. Then you can all prove your mettle with the high class, original and imaginitive films you can produce. Sorry about the rant, but the level of perpetual negativity from the same people day in and day out is sickening. Whether it was Rob Zombie or not, you were getting your remake. Better that than the Michael vs. Pinhead garbage that was being thrown around. And at least Zombie has the balls to do it his way, not just another generic rehash of the original. Thank you for your time.
-
The Devil's Rejects rocked.
-
i love the original and pretty much all of Carpenter's early films, remakes of his films arn't gonna send my knickers in a twist like so many of the crazies on this website, its good to see old movies updated heck my fav film of all time, the Thing is getting remade and im seriously looking forward to seeing a shape shifting alien run riot in some ice station, these remakes never tarnish the originals they just give us a chance to see cool stories retold again.
-
The original halloween was cool back in the day but now it is terribly hard to rewatch. It drags for so long..I cant imagine how you could not have suspense when a movie drags on and on like that. Rob zombies version is sounding really good right now. It cant be as terrible as the curse of michael myers
-
Most fail miserably. JC's The Thing is great, though, whereas a remake of The Fog I could not sit through 5 minutes, and the Chainsaw remake, where it was not terrible, they did drop the ball on it overall. The original Halloween is one of my all-time favorites, without question, only behind Jaws. I wasn't thrilled with it being remade, but I'm happy with the different angle on the whole thing. We already saw Halloween, now it's time for something new if it has to be done. Oh, and speaking of Jaws, just remember that Spielberg's version deviated heavily from the book. I smell another remake.......
-
I was so eager to see this after the preview shown before "28 Weeks Later." But this doesn't sound so hot. 1,000 Corpses was just hideous. And, I actually love gore, but not torture porn. I had hoped for a gory scarefest, but will we get a tedious torture marathon?
-
With all the cheap ass morph effects Hollywood can buy. I can hear the director now: "This time the Thing is fast moving, really scary - it doesn't need to hide - instead it just slaughters everybody. Fortunately there's a squad of heavily armed marines stationed in the Antarctic that get sent to investigate."
-
after watching Hills Have Eyes and Itchy the Killer (Worst fucking movie in such a long ass time), I am now getting really annoyed about seeing graphic rape scenes in movies. they are just so brutal and sick. i really hope the rape scene isn't graphic... just ain't needed in this movie!
-
Of course I need to see it for myself but this sounds like I was expecting. Rob doesn't know nuance. This is pretty much what I was expecting. At least I can say that the trailer was cool. Oh well, Carpenter has his check. http://tinyurl.com/23fzv5
-
If they could make a Jaws that has the suspense and that claustrophobia feeling the original left you with... I wouldnt mind a Jaws remake. As long as they dont give us some fucking hollow- MTV- cultured version like most horror films today, Im all for it. The one thing a Jaws remake could use is more horror and gore as i think the original lacked. Please...no more Jaws in the bahamas.
-
halloween without suspense = SHIT. I don't like what I am hearing at all and I am not a huge fan of the original Halloween (its good but does not hold up well and some of the charcters are just too stupid)
-
he rocks
-
Weren't you the king of the torture porn loving douchebags defending that pile called Hostel 2? Given your standards of "taste", shouldn't you love this new zombie movie?
-
But will there be dead raped deer?
-
How it was no longer scary because you could go buy a Michael Myers doll that played the Halloween theme??<br> <br> Well lookee what we have here:<br> <br> ROB ZOMBIE'S HALLOWEEN — MICHAEL MEYERS WITH SOUND 18-INCH ACTION FIGURE He's the man behind the mask that's going to swallow your soul. He is pure evil, and you'll see him in the Rob Zombie re-make of Halloween. But you'll see him in your future nightmares if you pick up this 18" tall action figure that has Michael come with 2 knives, and a motion-activated sensor that gives him the power of audio! Scheduled to ship in September 2007. (6338/60701)
-
What if we have Paul Anderson remake Star Wars? After that we can have Michael Bay do Jaws and Brett Ratner can do a remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark. That would be great. I can't wait until we see Uwe Boll's vision of the Excorcist.
-
kurt russell did laugh at the rape scene...that's when i knew it was ok to laugh too.

Just another slasher that rips Haloween off.

People are raped in real life and that doesn't ruin...
by performingmonkey
...wait a minute...it DOES ruin people's lives, so I suppose it CAN ruin a movie. Usually rapes are in movies just to satisfy some kind of fucked up fantasy of the director and/or the writers. Either that or it's because they don't have the balls to make a great flick so they have to resort to a rape to try and merit the 'horror' tag.
-
Clearly Rob Zombie's really trying to take this movie to the next level. Who needs "suspense" in our Ritalin addicted age. By eliminating that wasted time, Rob Zombie can give us what we really want, a killer who can hit you so hard you shit yourself. Yup, what's more terrifying than that? The new tag line should be "The night he came home... and hit some fool so hard they pooped."
-
Because why else see this?
-
Any chance of a Busta Rhymes cameo here?
-
It needs to be done, now! People want to see a great CGI Shark eat Quint and split him in two. GO CGI SHARK!
-
This town, to put it simply, does not need a figure of justice. It craves a silhouette of injustice, in order to survive.
-
i hate that kind of shit....it is the type of thing that is done to make us kind of like myers....he maybe a murderer but he hates rapists...yay for mike....the more i hear of this the more i fear it...for the record i locve zombies films.....i am not a hater...i fucking love rejects and corpses....
-
This looks like it's going for a more INTENSE, HARDCORE Halloween film! The rape scene sounds intriguing. I like where Zombie is going with this. The Dawn of the Dead remake had alot less suspense, but made up for it in intense zombie action. It's not going to be like the original Halloween, it can't be, so forget that right now.
-
She keeps her skirt and leggings on though.
-
two different filmmakers.If you can't tell them apart,that's your own ignorance talking.If you spent as much time watching the type of movie you like bitching about and ridiculing the fans of,maybe you could tell the difference too.
-
I have a mancala set right here next to me- not hidden in a crevice of my body but it is close by- someone gave this thing to us way back and we actually played it one night- I wonder if they will explain how he's indestructable in this one. I guess torturing cats gave him invulnerability.
-
of a short story.It's not based on the earlier Hawks/Nyby movie.Now that you know better you can stop using it your "BuTt dis Myt beE gooD tOo..." arguements.Or you can just stay stupid.You're funnier that way.
-
Is it possoble for Zombie to lure me into watching another one of his movies? CAN HE DO IT? I VOWED to never do it again after Devils rejects I mean. 1000 corpses was bad enough but Rejects just pissed me off.<p><p><p>Hopefully the poster can come back and tel us if it has any of that camp foolishness that is in Zombies prior 2 flicks.
-
Aside from Danielle Harris taking her top off, I have no interest.
-
I did it is fucking boring, not nearly as scary as Friday 13th. It actually sucked. I just liked the third one when those kids had bugs comin outta their eyes.
-
"STOP IIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!!!!"
-
Just imagine how sick he could make Jason. Or hell, his version of Nightmare on Elm Street might have some balls, unlike the last few of the series (Freddy vs. Jason not included. I liked that one.) <p> Better yet: ROB ZOMBIE'S EVIL DEAD 4.
-
Sam Raimi's Evil Dead 4?
-
He did okay by Christine....give John Carpenter Stephen King's "Cell".......OKAY??!!
-
The reviewer claims that Michael Myers is the only horror movie villain that would paralyze him with fear. <br> <br> Hey, maybe I'm a huge pussy...but Freddy was a fucking walking burn victim with knives that came out of his fucking fingers. I can punch a dude in a white mask. A guy with hand-mounted cutlery that can infiltrate my dreams? Not only would I be paralyzed with fear, but there would be an automatic, unconscious bowel release unlike anything the world has ever seen. <br> <br> As for the movie...I don't know, I'm on the fence about this one. I like the idea of following a maniac from his early years, especially if those early years are THAT fucked up, but I don't like it being Michael Myers. I won't write this off, but I always thought that the most horrifying aspect of the original franchise was wondering just what the hell propelled this guy to be such a carnivorous dick.
-
It only took Freddy two movies or so to become a wisecracking douchebag. Michael never cracked wise. Not that he's much better, though. Just look at Halloween 5. Motherfucker spent half the movie standing in the park. You'd think somebody would report his ass. Then he cried at the end. God, that movie was shit.
-
what a fuckin' piece of shit that was!!!!! WORSE THAN THE FIRST. fuck you Zombie.
-
that's right.
-
oops
-
this project sucks. His air-brushed pop metal crap music sucks. Can we stop pretending he's some kind of relevant filmmaker? Screw this guy.
-
This isn't a John From Cincinnati talkback!
-
First the Omen, now this. UGH!
-
Total last-act bullshit Carpenter and Hill pulled out of a hat to liven up Halloween II, but absolutely no sign of it or need for it in the original. Funny, then, that it would because the major plot focal point of every Myers sequel, and now this remake. Why does Laurie need to be related to MM? Isn't it scarier that he'd single her out at seeming randon, as in the 1978 movie???
-
the end.
-
more cowbell! Don't Fear the F'n Reaper, eh?!?!? I'm hooked. Oh yeah... God Bless Christopher Walken. BTW - I read the script also and loved it.
-
Actually, that's my sole interest in regard to this remake. Zombie is a hack (compared to Eli Roth, however, he's Orson Welles). Tranforming the Michael Myers character from an enigma to a sadist is the formulaic tract of all derivative horror movies (perhaps prompted by the misguided obsession for Zombie to throw his wife a role). Brutality, rape and cliched flashbacks are Zombie's embellishments over the original? Pass. Incidentally, in reply to one of the above inquiries, Zombie has not yet made a profitable movie (theatrical films tanked, perhaps DVD sales recouped the investments).
-
SPOLIERS AHEAD!!!!!The rape scene is not done by michael. It is done by 2 security guys at smith's grove. They rape a mental patient and try to get michael to do the same. He decides to kill them instead of taking part. Pretty damn sick.
-
Just had to add that...
-
So he beats up somebody until they poo live feces?! Do they breathe our oxygen or do they die shortly after evacuating their shitless corpse vessel? What language do they speak? Do they come in peace or pieces?<P>Seriously, people - LEARN the definition of "literal". I beg you! I cannot count the times that supposed professional journalists (I'm not including this reviewer) misappropriate the use of this word. It eats me up inside. E.g. "All hell is literally going to break out!"<P>In relation to the main article - I am not so emotionally connected to this franchise that I will not be able to enjoy myself even if it is entertaining. Actually "origin" stories bug me far more then remakes. At the most, that shit belongs as a supplementary feature on a DVD right next to the "How'd They Do That" make up doco.
-
Now that's a fucking remake I'd love to see.
-
I was just wondering.
-
Every movie this year has a rape scene in it. Halloween has a scene where Meyers puts on his "attempted to get raped" mask, and the comedy ensues. Whats not to like about that? Is there any other site that trolls its visitors as much as AICN?
-
half hearted reviews.
-
...Mike Myers is standing behind two trick or treaters on a porch, about to kill them, when the door opens and a happy housewife tosses candy in the kids' bags, then turns to Mike and says "Awww, aren't you cute! Lookie, you don't have a bag for your candy. Here, take some anyway!" and then she hands him an O' Henry bar, shuts the door, and Mike Myers turns to the camera and shrugs to the sound of "Wah wahhhhhhhhhhh!". Cuz that'd be awesome!
-
Great line!
-
Don't touch Halloween Escape from NY or The Thing, please!!!! I loved this movie when I was a kid and Zombie's previous two movies were TOTAL stinkers. Why can't hacks leave the good movies alone. I hope carpenter is getting paid a lot of $$$ for letting people re-imagine his brilliance.
-
ok i'm not really sure but the last scene in the trailer looks like its' danielle harris being pulled back into the house by myers. if i read right, did you just say that girl is lacking clothing (her top) in it?
