I've always been a fan of the original and when I first saw his version it put me off(still does) about how he envisioned the Myers family as skanky, hence "explaining" his evil where it was better with him being inexplicably evil from the get-go. Plus, while I think Scout did a good job, the original personality of Laurie was so much more interesting/likable. <br />However, this movie is good in it's own right. McDowell is fantastic and Michael is scarier in a more realistic fashion. There's no getting around the excellent job at the death scenes as well. Basically, after getting over my original disdain for RZ's choices, this movie is actually very entertaining and should be a model for future horror done right. Looking forward to H2.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-41965962032128766812007-11-08T13:13:00.000-05:002007-11-08T13:13:00.000-05:00i thought the rom zombie remake was better than th...i thought the rom zombie remake was better than the original,, at least he went in to a lot more detail about the main character... i rated this as the best horror ive seen in a long time... way better than carpenters version.... thats just my opinion though...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-53427271149494439982007-09-24T04:35:00.000-04:002007-09-24T04:35:00.000-04:00Scout's performance was horrible.

Maybe his approach will work just fine but I think Carpenter's instincts were dead on in not trying to psychoanalyze Michael's motives. To me, it's the stuff of run of the mill crime dramas and I doubt that Michael would've had the same kind of lasting popularity if Carpenter had gone that route from the get-go. But with the release fast approaching I'm eager to see Zombie's movie first hand and judge it for myself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-11578433944646535012007-08-03T13:14:00.000-04:002007-08-03T13:14:00.000-04:00...then he turned the song into a video in which h......then he turned the song into a video in which his wife plays a nazi in a bikini who whips his publicist and blows up a computer while he's dressed like a ghoul...oh yeah, and midgets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-29985148459363427492007-08-03T12:56:00.000-04:002007-08-03T12:56:00.000-04:00He was probably thinking "just who the hell is thi...He was probably thinking "just who the hell is this woman?"<BR/><BR/>:D Followed by "Crack is whack!", followed by "I hate these fucking interviews", followed by "Stupid fucking internet".<BR/><BR/>And then later he fired his publicist.<BR/><BR/>And then he wrote a song about it.<BR/><BR/>And then he exploded.Stacie Ponderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784074536271206501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-17837668913619504942007-08-03T12:34:00.000-04:002007-08-03T12:34:00.000-04:00I loved that you referenced the novelization!
