I am kinda in a ranting type mood. I love the original Halloween so much, it is def. in my top 10 of favorite movies of all time. It is a classic that I am sure everyone knows and loves. It is just one of those perfect horror movies. It has the music, the chase, and an awesome slasher. Well when I found out they were making a remake of Halloween I was bummed but then found out Rob Zombie was making it and got excited. For anyone who knows me, I have loved Rob since his days of White Zombie. Well when it came out I of course when and saw it opening night. I hated it, I mean I thought the movie was lame, the experience sucked so bad. Horrible night! Being Brownlog and I love horror movies we talked about it after and both agreed that it wasn't good. Well we did watch it again and again didn't like it. But I love the soundtrack so one day I was listening to it and decided to watch the movie again. This time around I didn't hate it. I do believe people need to leave the classics alone and stop remaking them. But this time I saw it in a different light. I think watching it alone let me take it all in without an outside distraction, I found that it did have some potential. It is not by far a great movie, not a favorite at all but I def. don't hate it anymore. I feel with some of the things he said in interviews he contradicted him self in the movie and when watching it I think about it and I think that should be different or he should change that. I do have a lot of problems with it, it is like he started with a prequel which was cool and then all of a sudden tried to squish the first movie in last minute. But I will admit I love the white trash take on everything, and a few of the cast members were a good choice. I just hate that he has to use his wife in all of his movies and I think he made a bad choice with Dr.Loomis, great actor just not good for the part. I just say leave the classics alone for the most part. Now it is time for Halloween 2 to come out, I have a feeling it may be horrible but still feel the need to see it. I think it is going to be better then the first. This is what got me thinking about it because Brownlog refuses to see it with me. I guess my love for Rob blinds me which drives me to supporting his crap stuff too. I fight with Brownlog all the time on this one, I see where he is coming from with his hate for it but at that same time it wasn't the worse movie ever.
Ratings... Original Halloween gets a 10! Rob Zombies Halloween gets a 5.5
