I hated this movie and the first remake so much, Spoony is completely right that making Michael Myers anything but a mindless killing machine is just wrong. In both movies they describe him over and over as “pure evil” and we see quite clearly that he's not, he's like many serial killers in that he had a traumatic childhood and probably suffers from some kind of mental disorder or possibly even a brain tumor that makes him delusional. The second movie especially shows this as he literally hallucinates about his mother, he doesn't just kill for the sake of killing anymore, he does it because in his addled mind he's pleasing his mother and seeks her approval. Loved Devil's Rejects, liked House of 1000 Corpses, hated both these garbage movies.

I consider Spoony randomly leaping into the room and punching someone in the balls entertainment…especially if he yells “SHORYUKEN!”

Honestly they could have ended the series at 2 for me. (The Myers part at least. I loved 3 for totally separate reasons.) 4 and beyond just took it too far. I don’t care about Michael’s past outside of what you see in the original film’s opening. I don’t even want to know that he’s Laurie’s brother. It’s scarier if he’s not! It’s scarier if he’s a faceless, voiceless, reasonless psychopath. That’s why the original film was so effective, I think. Like you said, once you make him human, then you can kill him. He’s human.

I want a base of characters that are people who I could see myself knowing and liking. I want to know they are close to the main character. Then I want my killer to kill them. Horrify me god damn it.

Anyway Spoony as always you hit the nail on the head with this review. Keep it up, I’ll keep coming back.

to Baron Von Banhappy

Your arguement would be valid IF we weren’t talking about Rob Zombie. I think that idea is too out of Zombie’s reach to pull off well. or even to pull off at all
