Notes:

This is not your forum to identify and call out specific people just to call them assholes. Call out general actions you find reprehensible, mod ability/inability, that kind of stuff, but once you get into what basically amounts to 'this person is a stupid bitch and here are some icons/an lj layout/add. info to identify them with' - no.

My issue with the Halloween reboot films is that Rob Zombie isn't really suited for a Halloween film. Halloween always seemed like a very suburban film, the killer stalking the little manicured houses, picking off unsuspecting teenagers. I liked how the killer was really an enigma because, he really didn't have much of an imposing figure, he was big yes but he was like a normal dude size.

The issue I have is that Rob works best when he uses the very dirty, nasty, gritty, gross areas of the country. The reboot's explanation of Myer's past really just seemed like Zombies usual "wacky gross nasty people woooooo so mean" and just didn't gel with what he was dealing with. I also really hated that we had to have a shoehorned in reason for why Myer's was a fucking nutball, it was much scarier to me that he was just an evil child with no real reason for his murders, the idea of a totally pointless evil act is much scarier to me than "Dude was fucked up by his crazy ass family man."

Honestly, Zombie should have been given the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake to work with. He had already cut his teeth with 1000 Corpses, which while really bad in a lot of spots and with some annoying ass quirks, has the same sort of feel as TCM. It'd certainly been better than the fucking awwwwwwwwwwwful TCM prequel that we got later.

Simply put, Zombie was just really not suited for the Halloween films.
