The Curse of Michael Myers isn't a mythology so much as desperate tragedy. Part 3 was a better movie and Myers wasn't even IN it!

These movies are supposed to be something going horribly wrong when a cold, possessed, killer makes his way through a small suburban middle class town. it's scary because he is one of us, and he is in our community...and he has little emotion (a few scenes with Jamie and Loomis aside).
I don't know what remake you're talking about, but I clearly saw all this in Zombie's movie too.
Quote:
The Halloween series was NEVER meant to be bloody and gory...and not too much sex in there either (when compared to NOES and F13).
An entirely subjective term, because then you'd have to define what "too much" is for a murderfest. ;P

Rob Zombies Halloween: should have been called Rob Zombies White Trash porno Jamboree, featuring 25% more douchebags in Michael Myers masks...
Sorry, but that's not so much of an argument as typographical masturbation. :P
Quote:
...and I don't care what anyone says, Michael DOESNT talk.
Up until the point he snapped at the beginning of Carpenter's version he must have been at least a fairly normal kid, otherwise he wouldn't have caught everyone by surprise. So what's the point of contention? He shouldn't have done it on camera? He should have stopped entirely when he went on his rampage?
Nobody goes crazy in one moment. Showing his descent as a more gradual spiral was far more realistic and believable.

I love Rob Zombie, I love the Halloween series about more than anything on this earth.....but its like putting peanut butter on steak, just because two things are good....don't mean they are good together. Zombie is awesome at exploitation and trash movies....two things the Halloween series has NEVER been about.
I wouldn't consider either of his previous movies to be "exploitation" or "trash". You could make an argument over House of 1000 Corpses, but Devil's Rejects was an increadibly well-written, well-directed movie with a ton of emotion and personality in each character. Is that what you call trash while putting Carpenter on a huge pedestel?
