INVADING SOHH CHAMPION
Them remakes were trash. Well shot, but just trying too hard to explain why Michael Myers was trying to kill Laurie Strode. Oh yeah, his dad was a deadbeat a$$hole and his mom is a stripper and his older sister was a hoe and that's why he's a psychotic killer
The beauty in the original Halloween, besides how well it was shot on such a small budget and how many iconic scenes that have been copied over and over for the last 40 years, is that it was just a big imposing dude that will stop at nothing to kill Jamie lee Curtis. No curses, no deep backstory, just a psycho honing in on a high school girl.
You nikkaz just want some bogey man who is esoteric but never given an explanation.
All this he is a demon.
No, he was a tall serial killer with an affinity for a mask and large stabbing weapons like the terminator would say.
Yet, Myers is not a t1000
He was not Jason or Freddy who were spirits.
we were actually given why Freddie and jason continued to terrorize people.
Which is over the course of the sequels.
why all three franchises originally fell into slapstick comedy. Zombie's film created a realistic character with a realistic background.
It is not a comedy unless you just psycho that can lol at gore.
Of which zombie is so good at making you emotionally connect to the worst pos people in almost film history to sympathize with them so they have duality as a monster and you actually feel or understand the villain/bogeymen.
To the point it delves directly into what is wrong with anyone at the beginning of the day.
Which, is their parental front.
Where mike had the worst parents and they were played by zombie's excellent cast of horror movie zombie alum scum bags.
that include his daughter as the mom. Who are all excellent as a cast.
This story was not just some high school girl,...
It was his fukk'n sister.
Of which the original never gave us any insight to Michael Myers.
Even in Rambo they told you why Rambo had a necklace and a bandanna in the sequels.
To the point even as a kid, it meant sumfin when Rambo the cartoon got suited.
In the og Myers we never really definitively know anything over eight movies. We don't know why to get amp'd he got a mask. We don't know why to get really scared cause he got a knife.
those never explains anything as to this character, indepthly that makes sense and is clear.
Or his affinity for masks, knives and Halloween as well.
We see why myers haunted people in zombie's Halloween. It was the simple source of his pain.
Of which, we get to see it from the eyes and perspective of him as a kid.
Complete with an excellent cast as the kid Myers.
In the pos kid from Hancock.
I am still waiting on a really good naysay to the zombie flicks.
As most of these make no sense and is just fan boy nostalgia.
I am not a big horror guy but i seen most of the dark ones and i seen, imo the scariest horror movie ever made. In that the reality was the killer was there from a real origin from social dysfunction gon awry that we get to see. In zombie's Halloween we get to see what went awry that made Michael Myers a monster. It is not some mystery with a superhero overweight doctor.
Who acts like he is Joel osteen belly ache'n at Michael Myers.
like he has some control over Michael via his voice.
Which is to far fetched to believe.
Of which, we get to see in zombie's flick.
what should have happened to anyone who got in Myers way.
While also trying to take the law into the doctor's hands and not heed trained police instruction.
including the beloved doctor who was wack and annoying in the og.
