I loved the original. I love movies. I very rarely ever turn off a movie. Even ones that are the worst of the worst (Batman & Robin) that are entertaining just because they are such a train wreck.
Rob Zombie's vision can be compared to an eighth grader creating a paint-by-numbers version of the Mona Lisa, except he uses different colors, doesn't stay within the lines, includes a 5 panel comic strip explaining why she is sitting there and smiling, and she's showing her breasts.
This movie grossed as much as it did for one reason only - he stole the original storyline.
First, there's no need for a back story for Michael Meyers. He's a psychopathic killer, that's all that you need to know. It doesn't matter the why, it only matters that what. But since he insisted on a back story, couldn't it have been less cliché of the dysfunctional household? At least make it vaguely compelling. Secondy, Laurie is a foul-mouth mean-spirited bitch that I was hoping would die. Third, the editing (especially the cut at the start to the title credits) were laughable when they weren't just jarring. By the way, I knew Laurie was the smart nice girl because she wore glasses, but none of the other girls did. Wonderful subtly (cough).
Fourth, it was so bad that I had to stop watching. If you have an IQ over 95 and/or over the age of 16 you'll probably want to do the same.
However despite the mess he made, I don't hate Rob Zombie. I think he is doing the best he can do with his limited film making abilities. However I damn Hollywood for actually pushing this defecation as main stream entertainment.
I'd like to have a sit-down with you and Michael Myers. Can we take a meeting? @$$holes.
