well, Zefram I guess we have to agree to disagree. I ended up seeing the movie 4 times int he theater because a bunch of my friends agreed with you, and drug me to see it saying "there is no way you CANT like it". I disagree. It was trash. worse it was laughable trash and a whole generation of kids are gonna grow up with this as their impression of Halloween. We could keep this discussion on forever and at the end we would prob ably be brawling in the streets...hahaha.



as far as devils rejects, it was a well written/made movie, but it is exploitation and what is commonly refered to as "trash" cinema. As in it has more in common with movies like Scum Of The Earth, Three On A Meathook, Etc. than Citizen Kane.

I liked the film, and didin't even know why till I left the theater

What kinda killed it for me, before even seeing the movie, was an introduction by M. Night for one of the trailers. The dude came off as way cocky and self-endulging, and I was a huge M. Night supporter. I loved 6th Sense, Signs, Unbreakable, and thought the Village ok, and never saw Lady in the Water, but I was pumped for this one.

Then I see that dang interview, and I couldn't help but form a negative opinion on the guy from it, but oh well, movie could still be good, right?

The deaths were pretty wicked, yes, but the rest was just, in my opinion, lazy and unorganized looking.

The constant close ups were killing me. Wahlberg sounded like he was knocked in the balls for most of the movie (and im a Wahlberg fan for the most part), the two kids on the front porch and how they turned from nice kids to goofy punk ass gangbangers in 3.2 seconds.(I actually cheered when the barrel peaked out). And come on, the lady at the end? Come on, one of the most annoying and out of place characters Ive seen in a movie in years.

The whole movie seemed like everyone was stoned (Im sure the hot dog guy was), and didn't have an actual personality, but just acted however the scene needed them to act. Now I guess you could argue that with "Well, the neurotoxins made them docile and stoned like, even if it didnt make them kill themselves, it still affected them", but come on, that movie was made for MST3K.

I see you points, but what in world is MST3K?

[MachineGunEtiquette]

MST3K= mystery science theater 3000. Wikipedia it for more info.
In a nutshell its a guy and a couple of puppets who watch crap movies and make fun of them all the way through it....like a commentary track, but better.

O.k. yeah I remember them. Really most movies could use a makeover by them. It's like watching a movie with a bunch of friends when you don't have any.

Somebody be my friend :(
