‘Halloween II’ Opens Everywhere Tomorrow

The reason being is simple, this movie will tank, be in theaters for two weeks tops and be ready to distribute on DVD just in time for a late October release.

'Cause then they'll be competing against the latest installment of the "Saw" series, which has owned the Halloween season since they came out.

Well it might not tank, but it is going up against two really well recieved movies in "Inglorious basterds" and "District 9", granted I haven't watched that much TV to see if there is a media blitz for this movie. And it depends on what the studio considers a solid box office. Personally I'd rather go see QT's movie than this because as you said, the original was sooooo much better, the only reason I even would root for this movie as with the other is because Malcom Mcdowell is in it and I enjoy his work.

Zombie's first Halloween movie also opened on Labor Day weekend. I saw part 2 a few weeks ago. It's pretty brutal (in a good way) especially the first few minutes.

There are some tributes to the old story lines, even parts 4 and 5. I think he really wanted his wife to be in it so he made up this ridiculous notion that Michael Myers does what he does because his dead mother tells him to. I enjoyed it though. Very Zombie-esqe.

I cringed the most during a scene that compared eating meat to being a psychotic serial killer. It was way too long or at least it seemed long. You'll see.

Part 3 haha….."It's time! It's time!" *puts on his mask and stares at the television*

Rob Zombie is a freaking awful director, and I haven't seen 5 minutes of any of his movies that were worth me watching (let alone paying for). Watching his work is like getting operated on by a surgeon wearing boxing gloves. Ugh….

If this is the direction movies are headed, then Hollywood can keep losing money as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, they doin' the Season of the Witch remake, next?

i saw this at midnight last night…

idk, i loved the first Halloween remake Zombies spin made it way better than the average remake……but Halloween 2 i just felt indifferent after watching. it lacked the old scare suspense (this one has plenty of "nervous-suspense) and became more like the torture-porn movies (i dont like the Saw's but i give credit that they pretty much own that style now)
its also much more psychological with dreams and hallucinations (quasi tributes to the original Halloween 4-5), with some of it working and some of it not….

6/10 i wanted to love it, but i only liked some of it….

I actually think "Halloween (07)" is MUCH BETTER than the original, so I can't wait to see this one.

Saw Halloween II in theaters, and I must say I was highly disappointed. You can tell by my profile that I am a bit of a Halloween buff considering I work for a Halloween Costume Website. The first of these retellings was excellent. It added new depth to characters that were lacking in portrayal and took new turns into unexplored territories of the franchise. This newest installment did nothing of the sort.

I felt the original gave the appearance that the film was set in the 70s and then perhaps the 80s, however in this they have cell phones, make references to Fergie, there are new cars, etc. Also, they give no explanation as to how Michael miraculously survives multiple .357 (a gun designed to destroy tissue and organs) gunshot wounds.
