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

[Marx]

The filmmakers have said, H20 is not connected with 4, 5, or 6 but only to the first and second. They only followed up with her faking her death. And in general, who wouldn't do that after what happened to her anyway?

That's what I thought. There is H1, H2, and H2O, and then 4, 5, and 6.

I look at it as a choose your own adventure. Two ways to go.

Got back from seeing H2 tonight and it was pretty much a disappointment for me. Myers was certainly more of a maniac than every before and I appreciate Zombie trying to take a different direction with the character and the universe, but a lot of it falls flat. The Dr. Loomis story arc was empty and pointless not to mention the ghost of mom's past and her white stallion. I get it, we were seeing things from Myer's eyes. I get it.

Very true!

The film makers need to reimburse me in full for my movie tickets and DVD purchases for 4, 5 and 6, since they never happened. Also...I find it odd that they would say that, after they intentionally mention Laurie in 4...so laurie did in fact exist in the world of 4-6.

Exactly. I've never seen them as one continous set of movies. The are the Curtis movies and the Harris movies.

What did you think of Sheriff Bracket/Brad Dourif?

Showtime pretty much has it down, you choose your own adventure. I personaly choose the deeper, underlining, continuity road rather than the simple "those never happened". I didn't watch those films growing up only to have some producer and actress out for a buck tell me what I saw as a child never happened.

You are completely missing the point.

Even if they did follow 4, 5, and 6, I don't understand. Laurie in the first film clearly likes kids, and even baby sits and is a good and caring person. Ten years later she has a child, fakes her death and leaves her child behind? Is that out of character or what? Another reason why Jaime wasn't needed.

I guess people could look at it like sliding doors. Altered universe. Black hole gap in space. But then I would have to consider Halloween some sort of sci-fi horror film then. haha. j/k

The Curtis films/the Harris films? I don't want to give either of those two their own credit for a film...it's the Halloween films, plus that one about the crazy mask.

Honestly, we could go in circles about this certian subject, but NONE of it has anything to do with Rob Zombie and his sequal to his remake.

What point??? The point that part 4 clearly states that 1 and 2 happened on the same planet??? So, when Jamie Lee came back, they decided to wash away years of storyline...but Im not buying it...the movies themselves claim to be in the same world. Notice I didnt mention part 3, because that shows proof in the movie that it s a different plane of existence. Part 4 flat out says it takes place in the same reality,

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Just as I'm sure Halloween 3 will have nothing to do with Rob's.

 

[ABleedingCorpse]

You are completely missing the point.

The point is, if they didn't happen in the timeline, it's an insult to the viewer. Much like it was an insult to have[BLACKOUT] the opening of H2 be a dream[/BLACKOUT].

The film makers of H20 said that their movie was a continuation of H1 and H2. The fact that H4 mentions it means nothing. We're not talking about what H4 says, we are talking about what the makers of H20 said.

 

[Showtime]

Exactly. I've never seen them as one continous set of movies. The are the Curtis movies and the Harris movies.

Then there is always Halloween III which has nothing to do with anything.

What did you think of Sheriff Bracket/Brad Dourif?

I actually liked the character. Thought he was endearing.

For those who might have missed it at the bottom of the page.

Oh I didn't miss it, it was just ridiculous and needless inclusion. I don't need to be hit over the head with a metaphor. Zombie might need to go back and look up subtlety before he remakes The Blob. If not, we're going to witness the blob chugging along with a glow in the dark pink panther haunting him.

That ticked me off too. I half expect H3 to come out and say that all of RZHII was just a dream.

I really don't see how it was a insult. It was just showing the type of dreams Laurie was having and what he life has been like since.

 

[ABleedingCorpse]

Anyone remember the original TCM films? How after the second, the next sequels each tried to be the REAL sequal to the original and people hated it because it not only didn't make sense, but insulted to viewer by not telling them what the hell was up.

H20 is kinda like that for me. I love teh film itself, but for me personaly, it's in the same timeline as 4-6.

 

[ABleedingCorpse]

edit...um..boobs.

 

[Showtime]

Its not that H4,H5, and H6 are in a different universe, its more that they are going it is an alternative time line if you want to get all technical and stuff.

Oh My God......

I would totally be down to see The Blob actually be a glow in the dark type blob creature....

 

[Heretic]

I dont want to get technical. I want to pay for tickets and go see a movie and not be told 15 years later what I saw.

What I saw was the RETURN of Michael Myers...not an ALTERNATE Michael Myers.

Exactly, Show.

Then that is what you saw if you believe that you did. Movie in the eye of the beholder.

 

[ABleedingCorpse]

Well, for me, I like have all the films in the same timeline. That's my choice and that's how I see the original series. It also gives it more depth for H20, having to put it together what Laurie REALLY did after Halloween 2. Makes it more interesting, that little underlining action for Jamie being left behind. Yeah, it changes Lauries character and arc a whole lot, because she's not so sympothedic if it's in that timeline, and really, that's kinda how I like it. It's darker and more meaningful.

And I don't like alternate time lines in films, unless of course it worked hard into the plot like Star Trek was...and Halloween 4-6/H20 had nothing of a straight forward explaination like ST.
