Chainsaw Brutality Wrote:From the reviews I have read, RZ's remake is miles away from the original. I haven't seen the first remake, saw the 2nd though and I 100% disagree in every single way.
Laurie portrayed as a slut, the whole backstory with Michael, all the blood/gore, the cuss words used throughout, Michael's "ZZ-Top" looking beard & the long hair are all aspects that were not present in Carpenter's Halloween.
Carpenter didn't need lots of blood and cussing to get your attention or get his point across. Michael is scariest when he has limited camera time and has an unknown background/childhood. In the credits, Michael isn't listed as Michael Myers - he's credited as 'The Shape'. Which refers to his silhouette from afar.
RZ over-explaining Michael's childhood was his first mistake among many.
Rob Zombies Halloween 2 is his own version/take on Michael Myers. He wasnt trying to make it like the original movie because he already did that. If people stopped comparing H2 to the original movie, they would enjoy it more for what it is. Horror fans expectations= way too high.
