Re: "Halloween" Trailer
In the past, Rob Zombie has always shown his incapacity to show any restraint, when using violence.
Needless to say, I think this one is going to be very, very brutal.
As people have commented before, this is not a remake of John Carpenter's original, it's Rob Zombie's take on the origin of Michael Myers.
You have been warned!

Well, it is a half-way remake as the latter half of the film deals with Michael stalking Laurie Strode and friends.

Re: "Halloween" Trailer
Here's the problem. The movie looks pretty good and people who are die-hard horror fans or industry folk know it's a remake (and likely a more violent one). But to the average movie-goer, this movie looks no different than the dozen or so other Halloween sequels. I'm not so sure that this one will light up the box office.

Re: "Halloween" Trailer
Unless they are written by the person who created the character, I think origin stories are the most pointless type of sequelitus there is. All a new writer is doing is exploiting the material, and marking the territory as their own...
... and usually it's nothing more than just pissing all over it.
Seriously, do we need a origin story for Rick and Ilsa explaining that the reason it didn't work out in Paris is because Rick was gay?
Having Michael Myers become the eventual boogeyman he becomes due to his abusive white trash upbringing is some seriously lazy thinking, and says more about Rob Zombie than it does the character.
If there is a reason given for Evil, then it's no longer Evil... just crazy bad."Forget it, Jake. It's Hollywood."

So this is going to be Zombie's take on the original Halloween. Hence the title -- Rob Zombie's: Halloween.

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.
