Halloween II freakin sucks

[Goblin19]

Zombie needs someone else to write for him. His scripts are the issue. He actually has a good eye as a director.

I'd pay to see another adventure with capt spalding and his deranged kids but I won't pay one red cent to see another zombie halloween flick the first one was crap I aint getting suckered twice!!!

Not a great movie by any means but certainly not worthy of such harshness...in my opinion. I encourage horror fans to do the same and at least see it.

that's not exactly high praise for someone trying to defend why anyone should go see it

Zombies version he gives the fans what they wanted more of in the first movie. Instead of cutting away we see him stomp on someones head and crush it.

I'm sorry but THAT is your justification? I will watch the original H2 every day of the week and twice on Sunday over ANY FILM Zombie produces. If gratuitous violence is where it's at for you, then soak it up. But what you just described has nothing to do with competent story telling or direction. Zombie does not possess these skills nor does his ideas ever evolve outside of food coloring and syrup. He's a complete hack and I'm glad his film is bombing.

Aw Yeah dried up pile of owl dung!

Art, you crack me up!!

I can't believe folks think the original Halloween 2 was good.

[MIB41]

I can't believe anyone thinks THIS current Halloween is anything but trash. It makes the original H2 look like a masterpiece by comparison.

deleted again cause it was misunderstood.

BTW-I actually think Season of the Witch is a pretty good B-movie. That was what Carpenter had in mind to begin with....a Halloween movie every year, but without an ongoing plot....sort of an anthology. I think the original Halloween II is pretty good, too. I saw the first Zombie Halloween, and it did nothing for me. The original is where it's at-MM like a silent assassin, creepy, atmospheric, and decidedly un-gory. Watching someone's head being stepped is the justification I need to NOT go see the Zombie sequel.

deleted cause people are ****y

Just got back from this. My wife is a huge horror fan and she hasn't been to a movie since her "incidents" back in June and July. Even she thought this film blew. She watches ZOmbie's first one at least once a month, but this version is pure self-indulgent, psycho-babble crap. The cut scenes between delusion, halucinations and dream sequences are jarring and useless. All of his characters fall into the same horror movie cliches and his dialogue is filled with the f-bomb even when it's uncalled for.

Bottom line, this movie a complete waste. I don't know how he can release such a cool re-make and then follow it up with this dried up pile of owl dung. It was like a first year, artsy-fartsy EMO goth goon put this together. I'm sure I could track down a few of those guys at the mall who could have done better.

Avoid at all costs.

You must be mistaken!!!
As I believe this was the original intent of the post.
A warning if you will,of how crappy the film is.If you want to praise how great it is by all means start a Rob Zombie Halloween II love thread!!!

Had to kill some time so I bought a ticket and took a seat.

Stay away... it is a complete waste of time. I would have been better off sitting in the car and listening to the radio for two hours.
