I liked H2 better.. Even Zombie himself has said that in a way, the first half of Halloween was 100% Zombie but the second half was him of course but had a lot of John Carpenter to it (because thats sort of what he had to do) but that H2 was completely and totally a Zombie movie.
A lot of people didnt like it. I really don't understand what they wanted? Zombie's approach was the most logical. Maybe they didnt like the fact of Dr. Loomis becoming like an asshole author and all that. Those people are just too stuck on the original movie then to appreciate Rob's version, and perhaps they never should have seen it to begin with.
It would have sucked if Rob re-made Halloween 2 frame for frame, line for line in the script. Rob tried something different and made Halloween more real life instead of an animated thing where the killer is some sort of monster that can't die.
Monster movies are good, but I think Rob's Halloween far surpass the original. Nothing against the original and John Carpenter. I love all those films. I'm just more into realism and maybe thats why I prefered The Devil's Rejects over Corpses as well.
Way to go Rob! I'm now just looking forward to Tyranosaurus Rex and Werewolf Women....Not sure what i'd like to see first...they both sound amazing in different ways. and I sincerely hope one of those films get made before The Blob.
Enough goddamn remakes! I know Mr. Zombie would kickass at whatever he does, but I just love his original work.
