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

[The Original Bamfer]

I don't think it was that bad. It was no Resurrection, that's for sure.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

This movie could have been better for sure, but no dvd release is crazy. No film has ever been that bad.

 

[mclay18]

I think they should bury this and forget it ever existed. No dvd release...

I agree. But there is an audience for Zombie's work who'll buy the DVD and Blu-ray, so...

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

The dvd comes out JANUARY 12th, 2010. According to amazon.

Awesome!

If only...

 

[Nivek]

Guess what, no one said you have to buy it, just like I don't own any post Halloween 6 films...

 

[The Apatow Crew]

In the director's cut that's there's a new ending.

 

[Marx]

Is it as bad as the one in the movie?

I don't know yet.
In the directors cut there is alot more stuff put back in that was cut out. And Laurie and Annie aren't as friendly, plus the kills seem bloodier. The version in theaters was 101 mins. the director's cut is 118 mins.

There's always hope it will blend the story together better.

The story flows better now that you have some of the missing pieces into place.

As the different ending for this movie goes.

Spoiler

It still ends in that shack like in the other version. But Micheal pushes Loomis out the shack and they are both outside. They are standing toe to toe, before Micheal Rips off his mask and says Die to Loomis before stabbing him in the stomach and then all the police around open fire on Micheal from different angles and after like what seems like a hundred bullets he finally falls over dead. Laurie then walks out the shed and goes over to Micheal and picks up his big knife and stands over Loomis gripping the knife like he's about to stab Loomis. Then a couple gunshots hit Laurie with Bracket yelling to stop and cease fire.

We give a shot of what looks to be from a helicopter and you see all three Loomis, Laurie and Micheal on the ground with the spot light shining back fourth on them. Then it zooms in on Laurie's face. And we pick up where the version is theaters picks up. Except the Halloween song isn't playing But Love Hurts is playing since it was playing over the previous scene.

By the way, guys, about Michael's "DIE!" --

There's an added bit of talk about his relationship with Loomis in the DC. Loomis makes a point that a boy's first urge is to love his mother and kill his father. Loomis is the latest in a long line of father-figures for Michael. Later, when going to Haddonfield, Michael sees a "Devil Walks Among Us" billboard and the fame Loomis is leeching from their "pain."

Basically, there's a reason set up in the DC for Michael to rip off the mask and scream "DIE!"

That sounds a little better than the theatrical version.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Yeah, and there are other scenes with laurie flipping out on the person who she's speaking with and telling her feelings.

And the mother ghost is more explained in this version.

Spoiler

Plus in the DC cut when Bracket sees Annie dead he loses it and it's emotional. The NO NO NO from the trailer is in it. Plus video of a young Annie with a puppy is shown. The vid is actually of Danielle when younger.

Brackett and Annie are my favorite parts of Zombie's Halloween movies. Brad Dourif and Danielle Harris are amazing performers.

Brad does a better job in this version of the film.

 

[Episode29]

I agree. But there is an audience for Zombie's work who'll buy the DVD and Blu-ray, so...

...it's better to keep them distracted with this junk than out in the real world procreating?

 

[Red Mask]

I'm fine with the theatrical version. If people don't want to collect DVD's then directors should make a definitive plot for the theater.

 

[Spider-Fan]

That ending sounds stupid, too. The build up to the end is one reason it was lackluster. That is not a significant enough change to improve the film.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

There are other things different among the ending.

But if you hate it, I suppose nothing will change your mind then.

 

[The Chris]

So is the bluray the director's cut only or is the theatrical cut on there too?

 

[Spider-Fan]

I don't see it being much better. DC's are overrated, if you ask me. DC's/EE's are marketing tools anymore, not creative outlets for someone unhappy with the product. Yes, we have DC's like Blade Runner, Kingdom of Heaven, or even Daredevil that are VASTLY better than the movie that was put out, but that doesn't happen all the time. Even with like 10 mins, I still think Loomis' plot will have crappy development and the overall plot of the film won't be greatly improved upon. You usually need more than 10 minutes to make significant change to a film.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

So is the bluray the director's cut only or is the theatrical cut on there too?

I don't think so.

Here are the details.

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has announced rated DVD ($28.96), unrated DVD ($28.96), and Blu-ray editions of Halloween II for the 12th January. Extras on the rated DVD will include deleted and alternate scenes, audition footage, Uncle Seymour Coffins' Stand-Up Routines, a Michael - Interior feature, Captain Clegg and the Night Creatures Music Videos, and a blooper reel. The unrated DVD and Blu-ray will also include an additional commentary with Writer/Director Rob Zombie.

Plus the cover. All of them are the same. Just one has Unrated Directors Cut on it instead.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Wlel, I watched the unrated edition, and I thought it was really good. The only thing I didn't like all that much was the different ending

Spoiler

where Michael takes off his mask and yells "Die!" Cool ending, but I'm happier with the one we got in the theatrical version.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

I don't see it being much better. DC's are overrated, if you ask me.

Well, that's kind of argueable. I mean, the Daredevil Directors Cut was great, IMO.
