Just to think that they are actually going to carry on from the amazing Rob Zombie remake – so more bad dialouge, ridiculous 70s music that fits scenes like a fat woman fits into a size 10 dress, baffling character actor choices, and characters that we dont even like being killed off.
Fantastic.
Halloween 78 – 98 : Thanks for 7 flicks, 2 of which were completly awful but the other five were pretty damn good and included a classic.

Halloween 2002- Present : Thanks for nothing.

What the hell is the point? Apart from the studio rushing and making more cash? Sure is not quality film making on their mind.
The remake sucked, it was awful – one of the worst remakes I have ever seen.
To make a part two of that can of cack – Oh my goodness.

sequels to remakes are an abomination…the only way it can ever work is if Soderberg is in the directors chair

I really hated the Halloween remake and how it spent all this time on Mike Myers making him much less mysterious and creepy and now there is going to be a sequel to the remake, a reseqmake!?

Money talks. Bullshit walks. Yes, in Zombie's version Myers wasn't "The Shape", a mysterious bogeyman who was unstoppable. Myers was clearly dead. But get this, see- Laurie Strode, under heavy duress, is in the hospital. She clearly recalls her crazy brother's brains splattered all over the porch. Not so says the doc. We found you knocked out, knocked over and knocked up. Doctor Loomis was smacked around, but nobody else was there. There you are. The last five minutes of Zombie's version retconned in cheese factor. But y'know something? Fuck it Look, dammit- at the end of the original Halloween II- Myers got his eyes shot out. He and Loomis DIED in the fire. They both came back for *three* more films sequels. When H20 tossed out Halloweens 4-6 Laurie cut off her brother's head at the end of the film and let the shit roll down hill. In the first five pre-credits minutes of Resurrection, it's retconned where Myers pulled a bait and switch! So don't shne me on how they can't bring Myers back. They been doing it for thirty damn years On a related note, just remake Season Of The Witch. I dare you. I double dare you.

The main reason most remakes don’t work well, is that they never are able to recapture, the time and place society was at when that original film was made. Carpenter’s Halloween was not only a scary movie in 78 but it was fresh. It had a good script with good characters. Zombies remake was a bloodbath that payed no consideration to the original story’s central character, which was Laurie Strode. Zombie simply didn’t care about anything other than Micheal Myers and that ultimetly killed the film. You can’t leave out the heart of the concept and expect it to work. As a whole it dosen’t. Making a sequel to his film is a mistake. I would normally say start over again but maybe enough is enough!

I liked the remake to halloween up until he escaped and returned home to kill the girls. I thought the back story was pretty decent and well done. I just didn’t like when he actually came home. Mostly due to the fact that zombie spent so much time on the back story, that it felt like he rushed through the killings just to finish movie. Carpenter’s version had great build-up suspense where this one just felt like a “wam bam thank you maam” at the end.

The original Halloween was a fantastic film. There is no point to remake these movies
