Didn't see a thread for this already so heres the trailor to the new Halloween movie coming August 31st

http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809784517/trailer

click on where it says "Halloween Theatrical Trailor" the link to the actual video was way too long

just watched the trailer for the new Halloween coming out..... looks interesting

We keep remaking old movies badly, and make new bad movies.

The only good ones so far this year have been the Simpsons Movie and Bourne Ultanium... (sp)

I agree Sword.....and a perfect example is Texas Chainsaw Massacre,the remake was so funny,there wasn't any scare factor in it for me.
I do wanna see this redo of Halloween cause I loved both Rob Zombies movie's he did before this. I just hope it won't have me laughing. It's hard to find a good bloodbath movie anymore

with a name like Rob Zombie, he's gotta be a good director:lolhit:

we are going to see it you know that don't you hon?:flowers:

we better!

good,cause I've been waiting for over a year for this movie to come out:woohoo:

had to bump this since "Halloween" opened today:woohoo:

I heard an interview with Rob Zombie yesterday - he wanted all unknown actors in the parts -and has more character development for the Myers character, explaining what makes him tick.

He said it is more of a suspenseful movie than a slasher movie. Sounds good to me - I didn't like any of the sequels.

yeah,he didn't want to do this movie at all to begin with cause he wasn't going to be allowed to write his own version and such. Then he was given the o.k to go ahead and write a rough copy and the Weinstein Co. approved of it. The Weinstien Co. was the one who went to Rob Zombie with the idea in the first place.:thumbs:
I've been following this from the first mention that it could happen

Well Malcom McDowell is hardly an unknown actor.

I am about go see it now - I'll post my thoughts later tonight.

I don't know... if it is full of women shreiking at the top of their lungs and blood spurting everywhere it won't be anything to excite me. I find with the remakes they don't do much character development. If I don't care about anyone in the film there's no suspense.

It's suppose to add more character and life to Michael Myers,explain why he is the way he is,all that stuff. I've been following this from the first moment I heard Rob was doing this. I read an interview where he said it was more suspenseful than gory.
I like a good suspense movie but I also like the bloody,gory ones too.:thumbs:

Just got back from watching it. I liked what they did with Michael's past - though I didnt like the kid they got to play Michael. McDowell as a good choice to play Loomis and the girl that plays Curtis's character was outstanding. I'm not sure if it is because they expected everyone to know a lot of the story already - but they spend a good percentage of the movie giving the insite to Michael's past and really rush what happens in the future.

The ending is pretty well done.

Okay it might be good. I remember the very first Halloween. Very old and fairly well done for it's day. But then they just deteriorated.

I like a good mind-screw. Blood and gore is perfectly okay if it's relevant to the plot but once done just for the effect it loses it's punch. I'll read the reviews and thanks for posting, if not for this thread I might have just by-passed the movie without a second thought.

edited just to let you know you have to be a member to sign into the second link...and bugmenot didn't work. :( oh well, the first one did

the original Halloween was by far one of the first "horror" movies that truly scared me. The sequels never should have been made.

well,crap,sorry about the second link. It was a fairly in depth interview talking about the views and visions for this movie. I'll remove it since no one will be able to read it. Sorry guys.

Mike and I went to see this movie last night. Jere,I see what you mean about it feeling like the rest of the movie was rushed after Michael grows up and stuff. I liked how the second half of the movie didn't really deviate from the original,but still seemed like a new movie.
I really like how they played the mothers character out more instead of having her killed along with the rest of the family like in the original.
I liked all the characters and felt the kid who played young Michael Myers did an outstanding job.


There is alot of suspense and parts that make you jump and go "oh shit!" and IMO,the right amount of gore for this movie. It wasn't your usual slasher-remake movie.

"wow"<---the 1st words out of mah mouth at the end.

Was it a satisfied "wow" or "wow that sucked." Zilla? I pretty much did the same thing and cant really figure out which one suited me.

i'd watch it again...but i think i'd be less likely to jump.

when i saw it when i was 10, it scared me because it was so over the top (back then, it was the 1st real slasher flick i saw), last weekend it scared me because i could see it happening IRL...except for taking 3 rounds in the upper body and a knife thru the clavicle, and falling from the 2nd story into a drained swimming pool and still being able to function.

Again, I pretty much thought the same thing. I thought in some aspects they did really good with making it something that could happen in real life. Troubled home life...predisposistion for mental disease....fear of being "de"instituionalized. All real factors that could lead one to snap. SPOILER COMING..... I liked that they one of the targeted victims surve multiple stabbings - giving it more of a "this could have happened" feel.

But the getting shot and stabbed and all that stuff and still continuing to sluggishly walk foward is really hard for even a horror buff to accept these days. I also didn't like the two girls that were her babysitting friends. What three high school girls, alone walking down a sidewalk who run into a man wearing a bleached Capt. Kirk mask starring at them from the middle of the road decide it was wiser to yell and tease him than to think to themselves "this motherfucker looks out of place" and run away or something?

it was Halloween:hahanot:

Well yeah - but it had Rob Zombie directing and again, certain aspects of the film really were written logically as though the events could have happened - why do certain parts still have to be illogical simply because it is a horror film?

beign able to function when a sane person would be in shock isn't that far off, or some weirdo in a mask on Halloween.

Have you seen the other 2 movies he wrote and directed Jere? They are pretty much the same way. I left the theater in chills thinking to myself "my god,that was realistic and could very well happen"

I have been thinking the same thing about the illogical aspects of all horror movies since I seen Friday the 13th the first time. In every single horror movie I see where some dumb broad goes and hides instead of running in the other direction always makes me wanna smack them.:lolhit:

No, I havent seen his other two films but people tell me they definately worth the viewing.

As for the illogical aspects of horror films, I always think back to the original "Scary Movie" which for my money is the best spoof film ever. Carmen Electra in her ala Drew Barrymore role in Scream is running from the killer and comes to two signs. "Death this way" "Safety This Way" and of course, she runs towards death.

That's exactly what I stated on page one Michelle -

so you liked it - I like more suspense myself.
