So yeah...a sequel is coming

Mentioned it in the remakes topic Yes, I have no hope for it because the first was one of the worst remakes/horror movies in a long time that I have seen.

All the main cast are back for the sequel I believe, including McDowell, so at least there is one positive for it.

If you look around there are images of the new mask being made for the film.

So has his other movie fallen through then...

I liked the first one up until the last twenty minutes when it became a bad slasher. It went from a character study to a sub-par slasher.

I agree.I think I will skip the sequal as well since the first one was about the worst remake I have seen for a horror movie excluding the omen.

Halloween 2009 was one of the very worst remakes I've ever seen. I have no hope whatsoever for any sequels.

You mean halloween 2007

Zombie's movie wasn't what I'd thought it would be...

This sequel I'll wait until more people are casted

couldn't have said it better.except like what he said, I think you meant Halloween 2007.

you guys are full of crap saying Halloween was the worst remake you ever seen. seriously i can think of no other way to convey that message.

this is futile, but the theatrical release did have some things changed and a superb soundtrack that was removed from the original zombie cut. After watching the theatrical I definately preffered the original. I suggest people intersted to seek it out.

yeah, seriously. Hills have eyes 2, prom night, carrie, when a stranger calls. We can go on all night with shit poor remakes. Halloween was a very ambitious remake that could have worked had Zombie not fallen asleep during the last thirty minutes of the movie. Stil, I think it's a very strong remake and definitely deserves more credit than it received. It was filmed well and had good pacing and even character exploration. Like, how else would you remake Halloween? He dirtied the movie up a little bit and instead of sticking with that direction he shifted into classic slasher mode during the last act which felt very out of place because it wasn't given enough time to develop naturally. I still say zombie is one of the top horror directors and i wouldnt like to see another halloween movie without him behind the helm, dude just has to much style.

I thought that the remake wasn't too bad either, but still I have seen better and in no way could it top the original

finally some sense!!! seriously though, anyone willing to give it a second chance seek out the dvd screener .. there is a rape scene cut out in the theatrical .. it was part of a different method michael escaped the mental hospital ... and youll love the sound track its very chilling in parts ...the ending sequence is different as well...

Don't say we are full of crap and have no sense, to ME, it was ONE of the worst remakes I have seen.

There was a rape scene in the official dvd release here in the UK... so if I've seen the version you are on about, it's still rubbish.

One of the top horror film makers around made me laugh, sorry Rage

I seem to be one of the few who enjoyed the remake a fair bit. Wasn't even remotely one of the worst remakes ever I think. At least Zombie put out some effort with it.

A small % of people Backfire

Like, I would leave the original alone




It was a mold they were working with, not the finished mask, I will try and find it, but you should find it on any horror news website.

Ah: http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/14832

Yep! It's alright. Must have something to do with the fact that I'm not a fan of the original so the remake didn't bug me as much as a remake of a film I adore like TCM or whatever.

The new mask looks weird.

Ok maybe uk got the original cut then. US theatrical was different. Well mildP you are definately entitled to your opinion. There is just so much wannabe horror trash out there where they just use mirror jump scenes and call it a horror. When a movie i like, that i considered to have style and real terrifying elements, gets slopped with the rest of the trash i get apprehensive. I ask you to give zombie a 2nd chance when part 2 comes. He wont sell out .. you can bank on that!

I will give it a chance, I give all films a chance because he might make a fabulous second Halloween film and I wouldn't know without seeing it.

Yeah if you cant take our criticisms of it,dont post here.This is a message board.Not everybody is going to agree with you in case your not aware of that.we have our right to bash it when we feel it could have been much better.and I saw the original theatrical version and sorry it was just plain crap.could have been so much better.I posted a review of the film when it came out with my reasons for why I thought it was so bad and could have been so much better.Like i said Rage,I gave my review of the movie back then why I thought it was bad and could have been so much better.I COULD go back and bring it on this thread again if so desired.

I enjoyed the remake enough. It started very much like a Rob Zombie film. Then it turned into the style of Halloween. Then it ended with kind of a mix of the former.

I'll see the sequel. I'm curious of what Zombie has planned.

I'll be seeing it to Dunno in what way yet though

Co-sign

I didn't expect a sequel. When he was hit by bullets in the original they had no real effect, but Zombie made this Myers more weaker than the original to make him more realistic (or so I heard) so when mike got shot point blank in the head well I thought was it for him really

Rob Zombie is calling on Ezra Buzzington to appear in the upcoming sequel. The actor, who has co-starred in THE HILLS HAVE EYES and MIRRORS remakes. According to Zombie, Buzzington is slipping into the shoes of character "Ned Atkins - beer delivery man for The Rabbit In Red Club. Unfortunately Ezra's scene were cut from Halloween, so he had to come back and rock it again." The sequel begins shooting February 23rd in Atlanta, Georgia. It's due for release August 28th. Tyler Mane is back as Michael Myers, more casting announcements are expected to roll out this week.

August, seems like this movie is coming quicker than I thought, I think I will go see it I wonder how it'll compare to the original sequel

3 films? Hmmm so there's gonna be 3 halloween films

I think calling it a remake is a unfair clarification. Halloween by Zombie was his take on a classic. He added quite a lot of character buildup, as well as a few new turns to the plot.

I wouldn't say it was the worst movie I have seen, and frankly I am one that will be looking forward to the new release of H2

Me to

I'm actually looking forward to this, and I know a lot of people hated the first, but I really enjoyed it (aside from Michael having a hick family). I have some links to post but can't post them at the moment. Once I get a chance, I'll post them.

Did you miss the Horror section?

Sorry if I accidentally posted in the wrong section, no need to be sarcastic.

Didn't I do this already? haermm Talk about your deja vu sly Mods can either close or link the two

Original thread:
http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f58/t500473.html

It's not hard to miss

I am looking forward to this as well. IMO Zombie's version was better than Carpenders. That's just me.

You suck

I liked Zombie's version more as well, because Michael was just huge. I'm glad Tyler is coming back for H2. Should be good.

Zombies remake was ok....i would give the sequel a chance...but it should never be held up to the original.....sorry but its got no chance.

Original part 2 was pretty good (for a horror sequel)

I can't believe someone liked the remake over the original because Myers was BIGGER...

Oh dear.

And thats my list so far of why it's better

I never said that was the only reason, but it helps when the killer is someone imposing, and not someone who looks to be barely of average height.

Well it worked fine in the original. It also worked well not knowing much about the killer, unlike the remakes mistake.

I will agree it was a mistake showing us too much about young Michael, but nevertheless I enjoy the remake.

I think Zombie just wanted to show that, in a way, it is possible...

Just take a child with an awful childhood, and a painful past, and you could wind up with a killer on your hand's...

Anyway, I prefer the remake compared to the original. I found that Micheal this time was actually intimidating and not some robot with no personality.

Just my two cent's.

I also think they made Laurie a little smarter....I know it's a horror movie but who seemingly kills someone, then lies around, even after he had already come back once?

I prefer the original but thats just my opinion...I liked the remake...but not as much as the original

I like both, and I actually think they are the only two good movies of the entire Halloween franchise. The original H2 sucked.....

I liked it...thought the whole Michael wanting to kill Laurie cause she's his sister gave an excuse for why he wanted to kill her...but that kinda ruined it for me

I really thought it was a poor follow up to what is a classic movie.

What I liked about Part 1 was that a killer escaped...and he was going on a murderous rampage through a small quiet and peaceful town...part 2 had MM after Laurie again and they needed a reason I'm guessing...and so they through in the whole Laurie and MM are related thing. I think they coulda just had it that MM just wanted to kill her but I dunno much about directing or storymaking myself.

I didn't mind the part about them being related, because that makes him seem crazier, it was just poorly executed. This version of H2 is looking to be much more awesome.

I am looking forward to it

As am I. I'll likely be in the theaters opening day.

I may go with some friends or a date

This one girl I like who is a few years older missed out on seeing F13 so I'll try taking her to see this one, hopefully.

Worth a try

Indeed it is.

I hear Daeg Faerch may not be returning.....they said he's too big to play young Michael now.

I dunno if there would be much point in showing any more young michael scenes, I think they did plenty of them for the first movie

Exactly, unless it's something real quick like Michael seeing a kid that reminds him of his younger self and they show a quick flash. Other than that, we don't need flashbacks.

Btw, something I keep wondering is why people are saying the first movie was horrible. It was a re-imagining, and it did a pretty good job if you ask me. Yes, it was different than the original, but it was good as a reimagining.

I didn't hate it but I didn't love it

I loved it, the only flaw for me was making his family a bunch of hicks. Would've made him much more psychotic if they were really nice to him (maybe excluding his sister) and he snapped anyway.

I liked the original because it was like he'd actually been taken over by the devil himself

The only weird thing about the original is that it seemed like they made him supernatural out of thin air towards the end of the movie.

No I think it was that he was meant to be like Satan...like the Devil, like he couldn't be stopped...I think that pretty much already clear when he got stabbed in the eye and neck and so on

That was cool and all, and I liked that, but his presence wasn't too intimidating to me. I think Tyler Mane is the best Michael Myers to date. He did so much with the character, and I really liked the movements and how he could showcase so much emotion without speaking.

It was the sixth one that brought in all the crap full on supernatural stuff.

Also, I must be in the minority of people who like Halloween H20

Zombies remake made Myers seem like a whinny little emo-b*tch who shopped at Hot Topic. In Zombie's bastardization Michael Myers is supposed to be a product of a "bad childhood" (which compared to some people I know his childhood was like an episode of Full House). Myers was a dumb kid who had self esteem & mommy issues, not a being touched by satan himself. The whole point of the Original was that Myers was just evil inherently.

Zombie ruined the spirit of Halloween. He will try to make up for a shitty movie by showing T & A and tons of gore, then teeny-boopers will eat it up and give shit-stained grins. I'll pass on this one.

Where did they say he had mommy issues when his mother in fact was the only one supporting him out of his family? Also, I think it'd have been stupid to copy Halloween word for word, it was nice to see a new interpretation, that's why it was called a re-imagining. It'd be ****ing boring to see the same movie made twice in 29 years. Both the re-imagining and the remake are awesome in my eyes for different reasons. I bet if they never tried labeling it a remake people wouldn't even be whining so much. Zombie is awesome, I don't care what anyone says.

Tbh if they'd gone and slapped a nine at the end and said it wasn't a remake I think people watching might disagree sly May not be exactly the same but in general ways of storyline it's an almost perfect match except for the odd few changes 313

Matured? It's only like...a hour or so after the events of that night or something like that

No, the beginning is taking place after that night's events, but due to legal issues it can't take place in a hospital or in the same timeframe of the first events as they did in the original movie, which I'm really glad to hear.

Still I doubt they mature

Not over night, hardly any lol.

Hush you, your meant to be drowning ahah Yeah...they don't mature over night! DAMN YOU TJ!!

Well, the event would likely help them mature in some form or another, especially if it doesn't take place directly after the first movie.

It would effect them mentally..I mean at the end of zombies remake she shoots mike in the head and blood sprays on her and she screams..so I think thats kinda...bad

Of course it'd affect them mentally....I want to see how they evolve and move on respectively.

I don't think they are skipping ahead 10 years later in no.2

They don't have to in order to be able to show them as being somewhat smarter.

Being neally killed doesn't make you smarter or mature you in anyway I think...I think it may make you a stronger person and strong spirited

I mean smarter in how they handle the situations that will arise when Michael returns.

But they think he's dead

.........

I mean when he's actually attacking them. Maybe next time Annie will think before trying to get into a knife fight with Michael, and Laurie will be smarter in her attempted escapes from Michael.

Dunno if that can be counted as a knige fight...Laurie made her escapes...rather well

Lol, it wasn't really a knife fight, more like her grabbing a knife, screaming, and getting ***** smacked, but still, it's funnier if you see it as a possible knife fight.

As for Laurie, she did well for herself, but I'd like to see her do even better. She was better at escaping than Curtis' version, IMO. Curtis' version was a complete idiot in the first movie.

She fell down some stairs...and she wasn't even on the stairs, she just fell over the part that even a blinde old lady would not fall over

And lied down on a couch when she believed she killed Michael who wouldn't have even gotten in the house had she actually closed the windows....oh and when she thought she killed him when she was in the closet and decided to take her sweet time walking away....

Well you know after you stab a guy in the neck and eye you'd think he'd be dead...she didn't know he was impossible to kill

I think being stabbed in the neck is something you can survive if it's not deep enough....and even if she thought he was dead, why lie down when you could be getting the hell outta dodge?

Outta dodge? Tbh from what I saw she got him pretty good in the neck, it would kill any other man...just look and how deep she put into his neck. And then he got stabbed in the eye and that looked like something that would kill you

Either way, I'm not gonna just lie around after experiencing something like that.

100th post yay

I think I'd keep stabbing at him...then get a rocket launcher...and blow his balls off...see if he survivies that...oh and shove a grenade in his mouth

But you are holding me under water, so you are going to do all that with one hand?

Yes...I am able to multi task

Daeg has been officially recast as young Michael Myers, I shall post the link a little bit later.

Cool...I used to think he was a chick

So did I....I watched the commercials and was wondering....who the hell is that girl? A few months later I get the DVD and turns out it's a guy.

I hope this one will be ten times better than the remake which was garbage in my eyes.

I didn't mind it...original will always be better in my eyes

Original IS better.

How the hell did you know I wasn't human? *reaches for gun*

Was it the greenish glow that gave me away.

Plus you prefer the remake to the original...or am I getting mixed up again

Humans and tentacled whatevers don't mix!

The first one was bad enough. Rob Zombie just loves being on Michael Myers' grave.

I dunno...I guess the tentacled thing may be from your side

Well some people may have just seen the remake But yeah it's best not to really dwell on this

Has there been a release date? I could see this maybe having a 2010 release, most likely on October 31st for certain known reasons

Nah, they are hoping for a release on August 28th, this year.

Oh...well that was my next guess

I think it could end up getting pushed back a little, if they feel they need more time to promote the film, that is.

I hope Laurie finds out that Michaels her brother in this one...which I am pretty sure she will

She really needs to find out, I think Loomis should tell her, or maybe let it slip somehow.

Either way she needs to find out

Indeed she does.

You think Annie will die this time around.

I dunno....is it in a hospital the sequel?

The beginning is (as in the first few minutes), but not the entire film.

Then maybe he should kill her there, I have a picture in my mind that Michael is outside her room, she's crying as she see's him walk in and stand above her...she's clicking her little nurse button but no one's coming and then...he kills her

Michael has a gunshot wound to the head to deal with, and from what I know, he's dormant for a year, so him killing her at the hospital on the same night he was shot would be....lame (to me).

He's not gonna take 20 years to get over that...he's Michael Myers dude! Chances are he could get up and kill her on that night, but it's nice that my thought is 'lame' to you

It doesn't have to take 20 years, but he is out for a year or so from what I believe, no killings will transpire in the hospital because of the original H2. Also, I'm not saying your idea is lame, just that him coming back the exact same night he was shot seems lame.

Happened in the original

He was already supernatural in the original, in the remake he's not.

He got shot in the head...and he's still alive...and thats not supernatural?

People can survive some crazy shit, bro, it's not too unlikely that he'd survive it.

You saw how many times he got shot by loomis right? If he's not supernatural then he's got a leprechaun

Yep, he got shot three times by Loomis and once by a cop, then the shot to the face from Laurie.

Idk....I just don't know how it'll end up in the end. I heard he's dormant for a year....so unless he's in a coma, the only thing I can think of would be him having memory loss for a while.

Like in no.2?

He had memory loss in that movie?

No but after no.2 he was in a coma

Oh, sorry dude, I've only seen the first two movies of the original franchise. But yeah, he could potentially be in a coma, and then come out of it a year later.

Yeah...they reveal in no.4 he'd been in a coma after Loomis set Mike's supernatural butt on fire

Oh, interesting. But I'm hoping that this doesn't follow the original franchise's path with Loomis dying off. He's too awesome.
