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.
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.

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...
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.
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.
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!

Any chance of a link to the new mask? I'd like to see what it's like, similiar to the one in the the remake of the first?
