'H2', Rob Zombie's sequel to 'Halloween'

[-Arya-]

Well....when I saw Michael in the trailer it reminded me of him.

Apparently, Im the only one here who plays Tekken.

Or the only one here who thinks he looks like that dude from Tekken.

Whatever. Its not worth debating over something so insignificant. Lets just move on.

I hate to judge a movie like this but..I'm not digging it. I understand that Rob is trying to do something different here, but we're losing the 'child like' Michael Myers who's scary because he was simple. Simple mask, simple outfit. That's it.

Here, it looks like...a guy dressed up as..Rob Zombie. Complete with dirt and hoodie.

Feeling the same.

I had forgotten that Jason wore a jacket as well.

Honestly, as I said, I think this film will surprise alot of people. I mean, it just seems like it's going to go so in depth in things. However, it just as well could do bad, to. We'll just have to wait and see.

 

[ABleedingCorpse]

Yeah, look at how creepy my avatar picture is.

I had forgotten that Jason wore a jacket as well.

Not till the last 3 films. He always wore a long sleeve work shirt, and slacks. This jacket crap came from casting skinny guys and needing to bulk them up. Probably the same deal they did with Tyler to make him look tall and wide.

He kinda looks like James Hetfield of Metallica.

 

[livrule]

Lol ....

That picture is a joke, yes??

Its NOT!!??

There are no words for how bad that is.

He looks like a guy wearing a mask, I think you have Metallica confused with Slipknot or Mudvayne.

Kids these days...

I guess I could get over the new look,but it better be a darn good movie. I'm just not diggin' the whole ghost crap and I hope that crap gets edited from the movie. Though I doubt it since its Zombies wife in it and we know how much Zombie loves showing off his wife.

It appears as if it'll play a large part in the movie. So, no, I highly doubt it'll be edited out.

Adding depth can be a bad thing. For me, it was the mystery that always made Michael scary. After they started giving him silly motives in Halloween 4 about a cult controlling him, I no longer feared him. I'd imagine it will be the same with him seeing his ghost mommy telling him to kill.

Not to sound like a *****e, but I think some of you don't really grasp the whole slasher film thing. What is this movie supposed to match up to, in your eyes? Because given the history of the franchise, including bad story elements, flubbed relaunches (H20/ Resurrection), and the basic babysitter killer storyline, it's like you guys expect Kubricks the Shining, and not The Burning.

Personally, I'd like to see an Oscar nomination.

It was implied in part 5, they did the full on Cult of Thorn thing in part 6.

All Michael was supposed to be was an escapee from a Mental Asylum. The supernatural thing is just tacked on to make Michael more compatible with Jason and Freddy. The Thorn thing, if it was developed in a timely manner, would have worked better. But hey, it's a slasher flick, the storyline in these movies are usually secondary.

Right after a comic book film wins best picture... And we seen this past year how that deal works...

Not to sound like a *****e, but I think Zombie's the one that doesn't understand the whole "slasher film" thing. If you watch the special features on the last one, all they talk about is how the film is so character driven and psychological and blah blah blah. It was unsuccessful in the last film and made Michael LESS scary rather than more. I mean, you can bash the old films all you want, but let's not forget that Michael Myers removed his mask and shed a tear in Halloween 5 (most embarrassing moment of the series, worse than Busta kicking his ass, mainly because I try to pretend that Resurrection doesn't exist), and he nearly did the same thing in the remake with Laurie. He knelt before her, handed her a baby photograph, and removed his mask. Was Zombie actually trying to make us sympathize with Michael at that point, after he hacked and slashed his way through dozens of people?

Maybe it's just me (and many others), but Michael was much scarier when he was a ruthless psycho that snapped and killed for no apparent reason, and wasn't egged on by bullies, abusive boyfriends, excessive cursing, visions of his dead mother and what not. Remember, Zombie is the one that adds these unnecessary elements. And to clarify, I really don't think Zombie is a bad director. I think he's got a pretty good eye and a knack for details, but he's just a horrible writer. If someone else wrote the screenplay and Zombie directed, then we'd be on to something.

And it's not like anyone really expects this film to be Kubrick-worthy or anything innovative. They just want to see something scary. I just want Michael Myers to be scary again. And sadly, the remake wasn't scary. Sure, there were parts where you may have jumped, or said "That's gross" or "There's so much blood" or "His mask is dirty, I'm scared!".

Someone I watched the film with recently said, "Imagine if a dude that size busted into your house like that." And that really is a scary thought, but I want to feel that when watching the film, and not have to imagine it happen (The closest Zombie came to that was when Michael killed the Strodes, because that felt real). I'm not saying he has to do exactly what John Carpenter did or any of that crap. I wouldn't have cared if they altered the story, changed details, left out the famous sheet-ghost death, etc. I just want Michael Myers to be Michael Myers, and I want there to be a sense of dread and suspense when watching a Halloween film, which is something the remake lacked. I hope that changes with H2.

I can see where you're coming from, but I thought there were lots of truly scary moments in Michael's character in RZ'z Halloween. There were lots of times where you could see Rob's personal touches with excessive violence and swearing, but IMO there were others where he was clearly influenced by the original and made Myers creepy rather than just a hulking giant.

For example, the scene where Lorie finds her friend screaming naked on the floor, then she runs to call 911 and the door slowly creeps shut and Michael comes out from behind the door. That was brilliant if you ask me.

Have to agree.

Oh yea, he was the Leper father Robert Bruce in Braveheart!
