The second Halloween film by Rob Zombie is set to release in theatres August 28th. If this is anything like the first film, it should never have been made. Assuming Rob Zombie hasn’t changed drastically, the only thing this movie will have is vulgarity, nudity, violence and profanity.

He absolutely butchered a classic film and I’m sure Moustapha is rolling in his grave. There isn’t one character in the film that doesn’t make a sexual reference or swear. I don’t know about you, but who wants to sit through two hours of such sad disgusting characters?

The original film was a simple, straight-ahead suspense film had little blood and intense suspense driven partly by the fact that the Michael Myers wasn’t jumping out of the shadows in every scene. What made the original so scary was the fact that Myers often did not appear at times when the audience was sure he would jump out. In Zombie’s version, Myers popped out at every turn, and always in the same way, the victim in front, crawling or running away, with him behind ready for an attack. It was boring and predictable.

To be honest, I’m not expecting much more of the new film. Sure the trailers are enticing; but, they were the first time around and that wasn’t anything more than a huge waste of time and it left a bitter taste in my mouth. Take my advice; don’t waste your money on seeing this in theatres.

Here’s a synopsis of the new film pulled from IMDB:

“Picking up right where the first film left off, Laurie is taken to the hospital after supposedly killing the man who was responsible for the deaths of several people in the town of Haddonfield, Illinois.

However, her stay at Haddonfield General becomes very brief when a very much alive Michael appears once more, brutally murdering everyone in the hospital to find his sister. Michael disappears, and Laurie survives the infamous Halloween massacre, but is still haunted by it years later.

Laurie struggles to come to terms with her dark past, or at least forget it. But the supposedly dead Michael Myers has other plans, and as the anniversary of his massacre approaches, he returns to Haddonfield once more, with a family reunion planned that Laurie will never forget.”
