I watched this after seeing this thread. Critics really missed the ball on this one. I liked it, though it definitely had some major flaws. At least visually it was new, and had a strong performance from jude. The ending was pretty neat too.

And talking of horror remakes; ^ Certainly a pretty interesting film story-wise, as like the Nightmare film above, it adds a new dimension to the franchise by going much deeper into its antagonist's back story than the original did. On the other hand though, the reason we all thought people like Mike Myers and Jason Voorhees are so bleedin' scary is that we don't know who they are. They don't talk, they're pretty massive and they don't really have a slant on their characters other than that they slice people up and can't be reasoned with. Giving Mike Myers a back story which basically sets him up to be a human and not something that simply can't die takes a bit of that edge away for me. Plus Rob Zombie's use of shaky cam's annoying as hell in places. ^ Like its original, it's not as interesting as its predecessor, but still a pretty entertaining slasher. It does fall into the trap of being a bit of a by-the-numbers slasher, although Brad Dourif does a very good job as the sheriff trying to hold everything together. Along with Malcolm McDowell, he comes off as by far the most interesting character in the film. Good enough I guess, but suffers the same drawbacks as the first Halloween remake.

i enjoyed the Halloween remake....i still need to see the sequel....which is stupid considering i own it and have for well over a year :/ i kind of look at Rob Zombie the way the Jackhammer looks at Quentin Tarantino.... so speaking of horror remakes....I Spit On Your Grave? its weird i really have very little desire in seeing this....but kind of feel like it may be worth it in the end.... |

I Spit On Your Grave has actually been on my to-watch list for quite a while, but what I've read about it (ie being in Time Magazine's most ridiculously violent movies ever list) does make it potentially pretty damn tasty. I'll definitely watch it sometime soon, and no doubt get back to this thread with a sentence or two about it... |

it's funny cause it was a gift(Halloween II) from seriously....thee biggest Halloween fanboy on earth...i mean if you say "Mike Myers" to this guy he has a spontaneous orgasm....all he told me is that he wants to know what i think of then ending.....i've probably mainly put it off to fuck with
and yeah i agree....Devil's Rejects was a damn fine movie i've seen the original....kind of like Last House On The Left except the rape scene is almost an hour long....but the pay off is in watch her take revenge.....from what i hear/read the re-make is very brutal in both the rape and revenge.....however the rape is filmed better and is less....explict....but gets the point across to justify what she does |
