Rob Zombie churns out his second Halloween movie. I thought Zombie's first Halloween remake was great. Given how the first one ended, and all the negative press I saw about this one, I wasn't in a real hurry to see it. Now I'm thinking this may be Zombie's most visionary film to date. That is not to say everyone will luv this film, quite the contrary. Fans of the original series may do well to give this a pass... people that never really cared for the sanitary slasher flick fad, needing more than eyes rolling and gallons of stage blood, this may be your ticket. This is far more nourishing to your intellect than previous slasher flicks. WARNING: there are scenes of brutality that go far beyond anything you may have seen prior. If you have ever actually wintnessed a stabbing or a serious assault, and are haunted by it, you may seriously want to think about taking a pass on this one. For me, I am very interested where Zombie will take us next.
I just realized the Halloween franchise is 30 years old. Well youngsters, this is the grand daddy slasher flick where it all started(the original). In a nutshell- a seemingly indestructable psycho with a fixation for stabbing things has come to town, amazingly stealthy for a 7 foot tall guy in work boots and a Captain Kirk mask, and is convinced you need to die.
