I'm shooting to have a review up a dtailed review up tomorrow. I will post spoiler warnings for those that wish to remain suprised. Just so that everyone knows this. Rob Zombie reshot a diffrent ending, added six kill scenes, and removed a very violent scene set at the asylum. So the version in theaters will be a very diffrent movie.

I saw some of this yesterday. It is beyond godawful. Beyond. I say this being very fond of the previous eight Halloween movies. Hemiallman, what was your take?

The deleted scenes were bad or the regular parts were bad? This doesn't sound good now I'm afraid to see it.

What does kind of scare me about this movie is that it is being released long before Halloween.

Mac,
Do keep in mind that it's a long-standing tradition for Halloween movies to be released in August or at least the summer. Although October would make more sense... there would also probably be more competition from other horror flicks.

Ok, here we go. I don't know how many have seen the movie sinceall i've heard are it sucks. I haven't heard any real descriptions so far. I will put a review with more detail later tonight but I will give some insight into the rape scene that was dleted since it sets a tone for the overall feel of the workprint cut. It is way more in your face obscene than I had even guessed. I REALLY want to be careful what i say because if i find it offensive (and i do) then that's pretty bad. The woman is not raped off camera. It's right in your face. The only thing they don't show is penetration. Then to go a step beyond that.. well you remeber the old smell my fingers? Yep they do it. Well is give some insight into Michaels charcter it is unnecessary. In the first film Micael needed very little development because the point was he was pure evil incarnate. He was an unstoppable force of nature driven by no human emotion or desire, and that is more scary than anything. He didn't have a face as an sdult because he was not to be thought of as human. Rob likes to make his kilers anti-heros(the firefly clan) That defeats what carpenter had in mind. As a remake it fails, as a reimagining it fails, as a unique entry it does have merit. If you love halloween you will most likely hate this film. If your not a fan of the original you just might like it. Now that all that is said remember I have not scene the very diffrent version that will be released on Friday. The next review will be more of a synopsis. I honestly don't know what are spoilers since this is not the cut being released. I'll see about posting a segment of the rape scene if anyone has interest.

Man that just sucks I hate that. I knew they would screw this thing I hoped they wouldn't and it would be great but I just knew they would find some way to mess it up.
Why would Michael need to rape someone that makes no sense whatsoever. I hate Horror movies now when it's how much gore and shock can we throw at the audience.

Sorry i didn't clarify, Michael does not commit the rape. He witnesses it at the asylum.Had he commited the rape I would outright hate the film.

Oh ok well thats a little better I guess but still why is the rape even neccesary?

The rape scene makes Michael a more tragic-esque character. Bad idea.

Zombie probably threw in the rape scene for "shock" value.

I don't think the original Halloween was in need of a remake. They should've just left it the way it was.
