Accurate review. Not the best Halloween movie and I didnt like the “new” Myers, Loomis or Laurie. Everyone in this film seemed so over the top and the whole thing was like a comic book.

I did like somethings – decent score, kills and the opening dream at the hospital. But after that, the film nosedives completly.

The one positive note is surely the series cannot get any worse if they do go ahead with a third. But I wouldnt bet on it.

Adam G:

I can certainly handle the name calling, after all they’re just words.

For me, the death scenes were an issue, but it wasn’t an issue of realism so much as it was that Zombie’s Myers and Carpenter’s/Rosenthal’s Myers were completely different in their execution. Zombie’s Myers almost seems to enjoy and relish killing people, whereas the original Myers simply killed people. And I don’t think that a more brutal Myers is appropriate or fitting in this universe of Halloween. Of course, that’s just my opinion, but being such a HUGE fan of the original films does make it harder for me to accept the liberties that Zombie has taken with the franchise.

As for the ending, I didn’t see it theatrically, but this one ends with Laurie in white room with a crazed smile on her face.

The reviewer called Rob Zombie “a fucked individual”, but he cant take name calling back lol. The movie wasnt as bad as he said. The new Grinch or Haunting in Conn. was much worse then this. The kills in this make it better then a half star. Most were done in a realistic manner except the headstomping scene which makes me laugh for some reason. This Myers is much more brutal then in the original series. The supernatural crap was annoying and i agree on the way Myers looks. But really what would a serial killer look like if he was hiding out for 1 or 2 years? No matter what his face looks like its gonna be disappointing cause the mask is his face basically. The thing i didnt like the most was the ending. I watched the theatrical version so i dont know if theres much difference. Id give this 2 out 5. If the ending was better maybe a 3

There is no way in any universe that Rob Zombie’s Halloween was better than John Carpenter’s orginal. Rob Zombie’s Halloween II was absolutely awful as a Halloween movie. 3/4 of the movie is spent watching Michael walk through corn fields and listening to Laurie curse and deal with her messed up life. Rob Zombie should be ashamed of himself, it was horrible.

That guy who wrote that quote used on the front package art over at Fangoria needs his F'ing head checked and definitely should be taken off the artistic roll call, along with Rob Zombie who makes absolute garbage films, much like Eli Roth, another idiot Sony also made two films with.
