Essential The Official Coli Horror Film Thread: Discussion, Recommendations And Murder.

That was one of my main issues with Zombie's treatment of Michael Myers.
Spending half the movie trying to make excuses for his insanity due to being from a shytty white trash family full of whores, strippers and drunks was stupid.
Carpenter was correct that it is much more frightening to not have any specific reason for Michael's evil. He was a white kid from a happy suburban middle class family and that "normal" upbringing makes what Michael ended up being so much worse.
And it was accomplished without heavy handed writing/direction or hacky use of "Love Hurts" in the background.

I also have some serious, serious issues with how Zombie claims to be a huge Carpenter fan and of Halloween specifically, yet made a Halloween movie full of needless gore and nudity, explaining things that were specifically unexplained and key for not being explained in the original, and forgoing the long, steady tracking shots in favor of quick cuts and shaky cam. RZ's Halloween is an antithesis to the spirit of the original on every level. 2 is even worse.

Shots like these:

simply do not exist in the Zombie movies on any level.



Any of y'all seen Psycho 2? It's actually really good. Almost on the level of the original, imo. I didn't even know it existed until last year when I watched it for the site. There are two further sequels that are , though. It has a super unique premise that I've never seen in a horror movie before.

Psycho II (1983)

I will for the month of October. But generally speaking I don't pin genre specific threads, it would get messy real fast.

The next showing is at the After Dark Film Festival in Toronto. And it's already sold out.

After that it's being shown at the British Film Institute in England.

Long story short, it's doing a festival run so it's not technically "out" yet.

Zombie is just a bad filmmaker so while he may be a fan of Carpenter he is too much of a hack to actually show that inspiration in his filmmaking.
And Psycho 2 was shockingly good. Lots of twists that actually worked plus my favorite scene in the whole movie:

God damn it, Halloween 2007 was the only one left to review for my site, and mother fukker. The first 5 minutes of the original is the classic tracking shot and pull away crane shot, the only dialogue being Judith and their parents saying "Michael". The first 5 minutes of 2007? Michael kills a rat, his white trash family fights, and he gets bullied at school. Some quotes:

"bytch, I WILL CRAWL OVER THERE AND I WILL SKULL fukk THE shyt OUT OF YOU!"

"I heard they had to pump the CUUUUMMMM out of her stomach."

"Think she'd suck my dikk for a quarter and let me suck her t*ts?"

In addition to multiple jerk off jokes at the breakfast table, an additional cum joke (also at the breakfast table), step dad hitting on step-daughter in front of the mother, all scored to Rob's favorite 70s rock songs. Then Loomis strolls in like a hippy. This fukking movie. fukking Rob Zombie.

Yet Halloween 2007 is a masterpiece compared to the sequel Zombie made.
Dude just sucks.

Tony Perkins was really wonderful in it. 3 goes so far off the rails as he's a first time director in it and found out he had the bug right before shooting. 4 is fukking bizarre.
