After the first remake or "prequel" as Knob Zombie calls it i wasn't expecting much but i could never imagine it getting that much worst, I had been putting myself off watching this film because i am a huge fan of the Halloween franchise.. Carpenters Halloween was one of the first scary films that id seen and have been a huge fan of Halloween all my life. I knew Zombie would balls it up again but tonight i decided id watch it.
The pointless unnecessary use of bad language was cringe worthy, There is absolutely zero character building throughout the film.. Lauri Strodes character is extremely unlikeable, The other characters look like they've just spent a week in a skip. Dr Loomis is even more unlikable who is a self indulged greedy idiot, Nothing like the original Dr Loomis played by Donald Plesence who's performance was flawless and the complete opposite of Malcolm Mcdowell. As for Myers.. The shape that Carpenter created is well and truly finished and has been replaced with a bearded redneck. Also the trademark white mask which makes Myers who he is gets stripped half way though. The use of Sherri Moon Zombie, white horse and the young Myers is unnecessarily pointless. One performance that i did rate in both films was Danielle Harris, She was great in Halloween 4 and 5 also. If your looking for suspense and scares then this film is not the one to watch.
All in all Halloween 2 is one of the worst films I've ever seen and Rob Zombie should just leave Halloween alone. I enjoyed "House of 1000 corpses" and "Devils Rejects" but rob should have stayed in bed for this one.
1/10
If i could id give it a zero.
