i think if anyone can pull it off, it's rob zombie. he really has a passion for horror movies and espcially halloween, so he'll definitely do anything not to fuck it up.

thoughts ? and who would you choose for the role of laurie strode ?
So it's a remake of the first movie? Gayyyy
Ha ha, good ol' Trav......... :)
i love constructive criticism. ::)
Oh you should browse the sharinglungs forums then, they're full of constructive people... :)
nobody is excited about this ?
Nah man, not really. Horror is dead. IMO remaking Texas Chainsaw was good as the original sucked big fucking ass. How people can sit and watch that film is just beyond me. It's fucking awful. The remake I enjoyed.
Halloween on the other hand is already good. Remaking it is just stupid. I can't say I'm looking forward to this film, no.
okay, sucks you feel that way.
i don't think horror is dead..yeah they've made a shitload of awful PG-13 horrors lately and i miss the 80's horror, but there's also been alot of good horror movies lately; high tension, the descent, hills have eyes remake, the devil's rejects, etc.
anyways, i have faith in that rob zombie will make a kickass remake.
Fuck this.
yeah i know, it's gonna be awesome.

Best remake of a classic horror I have ever seen.
I have to say, I am a little excited for this. It's hard to be worried that Rob Zombie of all people won't pull it off.
And I'm a huge Trejo fan for some reason.
I'll watch it and love it. Rob is great in this genre :)

i'll be excited nearer the release date. im lookin forward to it for sure though.
i love the devil's rejects, i feel like it totally qualifies him to direct this movie. plus sheri moon zombie is way hot.
I must say i am excited for this remake. and horror certaintly is not dead. ignorant comment but hey thats your opinion. Hills have eyes was a good remake , as was amityville horror( which was better than original) and texas Chainsaw massacre was a good movie remake... halloween 2007 should be interesting although honestly .... Halloween and Halloween 2 are two of the best horror movies i've ever seen
Rob Zombies directing! Can't fucking wait.
whoevers not interested in this is a moist and sloppy vagina

i'm really excited about this movie.
i am real anxious to see what he comes up with. however, Zombie is going to have to unleash all the tricks up his sleave to enjoy having a film that is not constantly up for criticism against a well-known classic series.
statistically, he's up against some heavy odds in taking on this project.
let's hope it great though!
The problem with zombie is he thinks over-the-top gore is what you need to make a film scary...atleast that's what he did for House of a 1,000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects, and both of those films ended up hilarious.
I hope Rob knows that to even hold a small candle to the original he needs to focus the movie more in terms of a tense atmosphere than a bunch of blood and guts being thrown around. That's what made the original so awesome. That and the music.
Just my two cents.
i don't think the devil's rejects was that gory.
the violence was disturbing and i didn't find it funny at any time.

I agree with you on most of that....atmosphere is everything...the suspense of knowing Michael is gonna pop out.

Have you ever seen Last House on the Left?
haha yeah man. i hated that movie with a passion.
i couldn't take the actors serious at all. the acting was so incredibly bad.
that movie is in my top 5 worst ever.
but hey, to each his own.
nah the acting and most of the plot sucked, i was just goign to say that the disturbing scenes in that film for some reason freak me out the most every time. Don't know why. Maybe the low budget.
I just thought The Devil's Rejects was just funny. I don't know, maybe it was intended that way. I know parts of a 1,000 corpses were.
Haven't seen house of 1,000 corpses yet..is it good?
It's a novelty film. Some parts, espeacially one, made me laugh really hard the first time I saw it. Not one of the better films of the genre.
But back to Halloween-- question. Which one is the worst (and i'm not including 3, because that's just an anomaly of shit)
I'd have to say 6 or the last one with busta rhymes.
Also, another question-- since this thread is about a remake, how about Friday the 13th being remade. It is happening...before we know it, the story of freddy will be reinvented also. All for a dollar. Seems pretty silly to me.
it's a fun ride.
a good mix of funny and disturbing/gory scenes. not for the weakhearted though.

well considering slayer only made music, it seems as if he has nobody to copy when it comes to making movies
my friend harry from work played slayer for me the one time, i dont like heavy music . but i must admit, rob zombie is like the biggest slayer rip off ever
slayer ripoff ? haha wtf.
rob's music sounds nothing like slayer...at all.
badass !

yeah man, i feel confident that he'll do a good job though. i mean, he knows how much pressure is on him, and he knows what the expectations are. he's smart enough to make this film a brilliant movie.
i hope
Looks pretty good. Hope he doesn't fuck it up. But after seeing Devil's Rejects again last night...I believe he has a grasp on that whole "70's" feel in movies.
so, i saw the workprint of this turd.
absolutely atrocious.
1/5.
Ahahaha
i went to a midnight showing of it, its pretty awesome.
i thought rob zombie did a really good job on it.
rob zombie should stop making movies.
this movie is a disgrace to the original.

Oops
yeah i know. i can't believe i actually had high hopes for this.
the devil's rejects is still a decent movie though
Fuck, time to watch it and step in on this
i enjoyed it. some of the acting was bad, but it was fun to watch.
I thought it was decent
i did't like it, i was expecting so much more from Zombie, what a disapoinment...
I thought it was a great movie. Its a fucking horror flick. What do you guys want from it? It had greats tits and violence. Thats about all that it needs to be
rad shit.
rob said it wasn't a "remake" it was just a different/new take on an old story.
the original will probably always be my fav. movie of all time.
i agree with variable too.

one of the worst movies ever.
Not really getting this recent trend of remaking classics as opposed to leaving them be and thinking up new shit instead.
Meh.
they should be coming up with new ideas. Hollywood is in desperate need of new ideas. But some old movies could have been done better given new technology or better funding. Or maybe someone just loved it so much that they wanted to play tribute. Kind of like Deftones and "the chauffeur" or something.

just wait till michael bay remakes nightmare on elm street.
lol, The posibilities are endless with that one.
i'm actually looking forward to the michael bay produced remakes of Friday the 13th and Elm Street.
he produced the Texas Chainsaw remake and that was not bad at all.
so what exactly did Texas chain saw massacre have that the new Halloween didn't?
acting, tension, editing, dialogue, great kills and you actually cared for the characters. oh, and did i mention the editing? wow, that was awful in Halloween.
and no one wants to skull-fuck each other.
in short, rob zombie completely raped a horror classic.
no bro. It was a good flick.
In short, you just thought way too hard about it. Its not supposed to be a movie that makes you cry and find jesus. Its just supposed to be mind numbing entertainment that lets you escape from life for two hours.
and dont even tell me that the acting in The texas chainsaw massacre was so much better. That movie was just and excuse to show shots of Jessica Biel's ass. Not that it wasn't beautiful. But its the truth.
sorry about your taste in movies.

agreed. it's just a horror movie. it's not some michael moore docu. or passion of the christ.
both remakes were good (halloween and TCM) but they'll never top the originals which are pretty much perfect horror movies IMO.

seriously, that's the dumbest excuse ever.
so because it's "just" a horror movie we can't expect anything from it?
there have been many horror movies which today is seen as cinematic masterpieces.
I dont think Rob Zombie wanted to create a cinematic masterpiece. I think he wanted to create a entertaining popcorn flick that disturbed people a bit. And he did. Props to Rob.
problem is, it wasn't entertaining. just bad.
house of 1000 corpses was a shitty movie, but it was entertaining.
this just sucked.
i like jessica biel's ass

quoted for truth.
Each to their own indeed. The original is just a really really bad movie IMO. The second half is just her constantly screaming. It's got chills, sure. I just don't like it.
