I unfortunately won’t be seeing the new Halloween until Tuesday the 23 (ME of all people!!!) because my damn work schedule won’t cooperate sometimes.
Excellent! I really enjoyed the first movie!!!
Apart from the title the WWZ film bears little resemblance to the book.
Personally i found the book a clever, fascinating and chilling read.
Last thing we needed was yet another generic Zombie film.
What a film! The atmosphere is thick and the slow burn story really had me hooked. The ending was unforgettable.
As an adult I find it hard to be frightened by anything, film wise, but this made me the most uneasy I have been watching something for 20 years.
A great little film with a story that gets you hooked very quickly :
Update:
10/7: The Exorcism Of Emily Rose (a film I have fond memories of watching in theatres back in the day)
10/8: Cabin Fever 2 (Sick, delirious gore-fest but such a deliciously entertaining film)
10/9: Ju-On The Grudge & Ju-On The Grudge 2 (I absolutely love these two Japanese classics!)
10/10: Dagon (Odd but highly recommendable Lovecraft adaptation)
10/11: The Fog (Carpenter's original--an underrated achievement)
10/12: The Love Witch (Magnificent feminist horror comedy, but then more comedy than horror, something that holds the middle between your standard 60s Hammer horror and The Room if you can believe it.)
10/13: Spring (Surprisingly brilliant little Lovecraftian horror film)
10/14: Wicked City (Japanimation horror classic)
First of all, "true" Lovecraft adaptations are rare: I am happy with the few morsels I can get. Secondly, the film gets several elements of Lovecraft's story THE SHADOWS OVER INNSMOUTH right, and since that's my favourite Lovecraft story, I'm satisfied. Lastly, Stuart Gordon and Brian Yuzna have at least tried to bring Lovecraft to the big screen with this film and FROM BEYOND, the RE-ANIMATOR films and more. I appreciate that very much.
But to be fair, it wasn't until I had actually read Lovecraft's entire body of work, that I started liking this film.
I have been meaning to see The Love Witch, ever since I first heard about it. When I first saw Samantha Robinson, I though she was Soledad Miranda.
The short story is great, one of my favourite... And it would only work as a big budget short film.
.1, 2, 3, and 4 are all classics. The only changes I'd make is to keep some of the deleted scenes in the second film and find a better mask for the fourth film. All four films have good characters and great atmosphere and music.
.5 is underrated. It's nothing special but it has a great score, atmosphere, and Danielle Harris is possibly my favorite protagonist of the series. The mask is pretty bad though.
.I really like the producer's cut of the sixth film. The ending is good and unique although the actual finale is lame and anticlimactic. I also don't like the way Jamie was used in either version. Fix that, use the producers cut, write a better finale, and this would be a top 3 film.
.I hate that H20 ignored the previous sequels and I don't care for the score and lack of fall feeling, but I like it overall. The ending is absolutely perfect and should have been the end of the series.
Resurrection and the two Rob Zombie films are crimes against humanity and shouldn't have been made
I agree
Filthy coveralls, nasty burned hands, yet a bright white pristine mask.
I used to hate that mask (mostly because the one they used for the poster was admittedly better) but not so much anymore. There’s a definite creepiness about it. I was dying to know how Michael looked under there
It's definitely better than most of the masks that came afterwards. Except for 6. That one was pretty good.
I love the first Halloween movie. All the other sequels as far as I'm concerned are worthless. Except Halloween 2018 if it is as good as it seems.
For what Rob Zombie did with his remakes he should be shot.
Zombie wanted to make a Rob Zombie version of Halloween but apparently, there were mandates that he turn it into a direct remake of Carpenter's film. As a result, we have a strange amalgamation of a Zombie film and a Carpenter redo. A Rob Zombie remake of Halloween is a lot like a Tarantino Bond film, I guess. You're not going to love them because you're a fan of Halloween or Bond; you can only enjoy them if you're a fan of Zombie or Tarantino.
They probably should have given the project to Ti West, whose film The House Of The Devil tells me that he has many of Zombie's strengths and fewer of his weaknesses. He also understands the 70s horror aesthetic and he understands the power of quiet eerieness and protracted terror. The minute you give a project to Zombie or Eli Roth for example, you lose complete creative control and you understand and accept that, for better or worse, your project is placed in the hands of someone who's either a brilliant madman or a dysfunctional genius.
I'm afraid I can't find anything interesting or remotely nice to say about Rob Zombies Halloween. It's coarse, profane and moronic. It makes the fatal mistake of giving Michael a back story and an excuse for his madness. No mystery to the character whatsoever. Most of Zombie's 'dialogue' consists of obscenities and the whole thing is tasteless with none of the class and finesse of Carpenter's original.
There's an interesting video on YouTube with Zombie deriding remakes and how they're sacrilege, before he decided to remake Halloween. But then money talks.....
Amazing show where he did all his themes including the new Halloween theme.
It was great, @Creasy47
He has been touring for a while but I think this is his first time playing in Europe.
It's amazing hearing all his film themes played live and especially by the man himself, who I've always been a big fan of.
October 31st?
Someone has a sense of humour.
On a related note, I returned to the game recently. While it is running smoother, the lack of any new content is really feeling obvious. Though with the game free on the PSN, it has been a laugh seeing all the no0blets running around without a clue (leaving doors open, not bothering to call in Jarvis). Sure, we were all rank 1 at the start, but some things are obvious.
Is anyone else wondering how much this 'new timeline' will show of that night in 1978?? Will we see Michael get captured I wonder- or will it just be talked about in the present? I'm thinking that after getting shot, Michael makes it a block or two before collapsing- I mean, how else are they supposed to capture him?
I read they hired a Donald Pleasence voice impersonator-- perhaps we can see some grainy footage of young Michael in the asylum with Dr. Loomis??
The anticipation is seriously killing me at this point!!!!
