Why Rob Zombie Is The Most Unique Horror Director Of The 21st Century
Rob Zombie's long history as a musician is just one of the things that makes him the most unique horror director of the 21st century.
-For better or worse, Zombie sticks to his style and thematic content. He even manages to infuse his own style perfectly into
his remake of John Carpenter's 1978 classic slashermovie,
Halloween, which not only includes classic horror movie tropes, but also includes slices of Zombie's particular combination of horror and American culture: wicked behavior, extreme lifestyles, and rowdy individualism. He manages to convert the faceless evil of Michael Myers into a more relatable and authentic apparition that is the result of both the horrors of poverty and the brutality of an individualistic culture that places selfish personal gain over family and community.
Give that man his credit
