Where would you all rank this film in the Halloween franchise?
Honestly I liked it. Find it hillarious that people say that THIS ruined the franchise. Not any of the sequels after 3, not the sequel with Busta Rhymes, no THIS one ruined it by....fleshing out and giving its own take on the main character.
The best one
It's ok. The backstory is a bit too long. Better than Resurrection.
4th
Probably behind the original (obviously), RZ's H2, Season of the Witch and Halloween 2
The dialogue sounds like a drunkard's response after he asks for a cigarette and I answer that I don't smoke
"I'M NOT LISTENING! *AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*"
"Sorry, I don't smoke."
"I WILL CRAWL OVER THERE AND SKULL F**K YOU!"
"That was more satisfying than leaving Twitter!"
I lost it. Bravo, sir.

literally made me laugh out loud.
Another good thing about this remake: Watching Malcom McDowell mug through the outtakes having a blast. Even in a blooper reel he's a treasure!
KaineMeisei I LOVE those outtakes!
If this movie opened with Loomis meeting Michael for the first time after he was committed, and framed everything from Loomis' perspective rather than Michael's, then this movie would probably be a lot better.
Certainly wouldn't hurt. It might clear up one the worst things about it, to me, demystifying Micheal. That is a common mistake with modern horror movies, in general. They give way too much backstory to the killer, try to build sympathy (or at least explain why the killer is killing people) then doesn't spend anytime fleshing out the victims (or even making them really unlikable) because they want us to like and root for the killer, which is weird. Rob Zombie seems to be worst at this since, by his own admission, he identifies with the killers more (just look at "Devil's Rejects" and how much he clearly wants us to root for the killer family).
Of course, I also blame it on a desire to make the next great horror movie icon and it is an easier sell if the killer is humanized (which is why Freddy became more jokey as that series went on), the downside of that is it is the mystery and the sense of the unknown that makes a character like Micheal so compelling.
The whole "unreliable narrator" framing was something I thought up for a potential third film in this universe, leading to a Cult of Thorn led by Conal Cochran...but that never panned out lol.
@@LibraGamesUnlimited exactly, giving Michael a reason to kill was a big big mistake. It's why this movie sucked.
To me, there are two issues with that: (1) they demystified him and (2) giving him a rotten home life made him just like a million, real life, killers we see every day. Both took a character who was larger than life and made him every day. Ironically, they made him less while making him physically a giant. All of it hurt the movie and the thinking behind it is what is killing horror movies today.
That...is an excellent idea, and would be an original direction to take the franchise.
"Holy shit, Laurie Strode is Michael's sister! Or... in this movie, maybe it's his daughter. It would get that trashy."
That one set a precedence for the best/most savage/snobbiest line I've heard on the site this year.
Can’t wait for the Rob Zombie remake of Jesus Bro!
Rob Zombie presents Rob Zombie, written and directed by Rob Zombie, and starring Rob Zombie and company.
This needs to be top comment
4:00 featuring Rob Zombies only facial expression
It's like the Carson clay film in the Mr bean movie 😂🤣 😂
Shouldn't that be Rob Zombie presents Rob Zombie's Rob Zombie?
Special guest staring Rob Zombies wife
Didn't know that Judith Myers was Jenny from Forrest Gump. And the kid from Spy Kids was the kid that Michael killed. And he killed Danny Trejo. I'm guessing he hated Spy Kids.
And Lynda is also Jenny Myers in the Friday the 13th game.
Doesn't everyone hate Spy Kids?
Bobbynibbles Only 3 & 4.
How could you not know that? You're a terrible person! ;)
@@NameEntry Looking back, I think it was a mistake for Robert Rodriguez to venture into family films. That's when his fall from grace started and continued well into this decade.
Hey Snob, the upcoming Halloween film only considers the original to be cannon, so that means Ben Tramer is still alive!
Justice for Tramer. What a time to be alive. :')
*still alive for now.
Which is fucking bullshit honestly, John Carpentar gets too hung up on his "failures". Refusing to acknowledge that a vast majority of his audience loved Halloween II.
Stop messing up the timeline already!
his death scene from Halloween 2 is still canon but the rest of the movie is being ignored
You cheer now, but within the first 30 seconds it will be established that Ben Tramer died of cancer shortly after the original Halloween.
Someday, we will find the parallel universe where Ben Tramer ends up with Laurie and Loomis makes buddy road trip movies with that priest from part 4.
Maybe je's Karen's father in the new one...
But will Ted Hollister be safe?
Will we ever get justice for Ben Tramer?
Michael Pena since the new Halloween will ignore Halloween 2 and beyond, hopefully Ben Tremor will finally get some justice and live!
#JusticeforBenTramer
Maybe we'll see him in the new one. Since they also ignored Halloween 2, maybe Ben Tramer won't end up as a burning corpse now.
#JusticeforBenTramer #NoMoreDisrespect
@@BatCritic21 Unless he still died in this new continuity.
3:25 - You joke here, but that really is about the quality of dialogue in a Rob Zombie film. People are profane, but the way they go off in Rob Zombie movies is just cartoonishly unreal.
The biggest problem I have with this film is the overlong trite explanation for Michael Myers being evil. As Patton Oswalt put it: “I don’t give a shit where the stuff I love comes from; I just love the stuff I love!” Also, Laurie is the one character I wanted dead that didn’t die. Danielle Harris’s Annie was better in this and especially in the next one.
As to Danielle Harris, it helps that she's a good actress. At the very least, a good enough actress to make up for a bad director. I haven't seen the lead in enough other things to know whether this was crappy direction or she just can't act.
My biggest problem is how he made Michael Myers way too fuckin big ha
Fully agree we need a Malcolm McDowell and Brad Dourif buddy cop movie
16:45 Danielle Harris’ inner Debbie Thornberry came out with that one line.
I don't... actually want to know Michael's backstory. Part of the appeal of the original Halloween was that this suburban kid stabbed his sister to death for seemingly no reason. Michael as the weird Hot Topic kid who strangely resembles a baby Michael Pitt and enjoys setting cats on fire or whatever? No thanks.
Part of my reasoning of not wanting to know is just that I don't care. Most any movie, series or what not can make a person sympathetic towards the villain. This really doesn't, in my case. And even if it did, I'd still err on the side of "Throw the psycho kid in a loony bin once the dead cat was found".
Even more if the backstory does not give credit to the development of a horror franchise. This backstory trys to explain Michael the psyko. Okay. fair enough. mildly interesting. Works for Hannibal Lector. But Michael already became this unstoppable uberbeast taking stabs and bullets and still keep going or at least coming back for the next movie. This cannot be explained by him having a horrible childhood and torturing sentient beings. So why the endless digging in his backstory and talk and trying to explain? Did Freddy's backstory ever really explain how a burnt child murderer became a dream demon? Did Jason's backstory explain how a drowned kid became a bulky psyko?
@Phreak Azoith Rob Zombie said in an interview that the backstory wasn`t meant to explain or justify Michael`s actions so much as to keep The Film from being purely a remake of The Original,also The Sequels already chipped away at the mystique surrounding Michael`s origins. Also,even though Michael is described as a psychopath in The Film his characteristics are more that of a low-functioning sociopath whilst Classic Michael though never described as a psychopath fit the characteristics of one better.The humanization of Michael also already happened in Halloween 4.Same with the telepathic connection with a relative.
thanks for that helpful piece of information about rob's Intention with the whole backstory part.
@@GM_Darius Exactly. If you give him a backstory (a cliche one at that) he has a motive. That takes away from his mystery.
Your Malcolm McDowell impersonation is top notch, hats off to you good sir
It is hilarious that Loomis in this film refers to Michael as a psychopath (which he is in the original film), when the fist half of the film is all about how he is a sociopath.
If they were trying to go psychological they should've done some more research.
Let's be really honest; those terms have become so confused that they're almost used interchangeably. Professionals no longer use either term, preferring to use various forms of "Personality Disorder."
Put really simply--Batman is a psychopath. He believes that his actions, no matter how bizarre or outside the norm, are actually serving a purpose. It is part of a plan, and that is a plan that in the end will benefit society--in Batman's case, saving Gotham from criminality.
The Joker is a Sociopath. He is perfectly aware that his actions are harmful; that he is hurting people, ruining or taking lives, and damaging society as a whole. He just doesn't care.
As a wise man once said--"some people just want to watch the world burn."
Yeesh, I knew the annoying kid from Hancock would have some psychological hangups from confronting an alcoholic superhuman, but I didn't think it would literally turn him into Michael Myers.
Micah Mcgaffin
...
I think it was a joke.
@Micah Mcgaffin Hancock was the prequel to Rob Zombie's Halloween.
I was more excited to see Malcolm McDowell's portrayal as Dr. Loomis than anything. I thought he did well. He was no Donald Pleasance, and that's nothing against McDowell's performance. Dr. Sam Loomis still is one of my favourite film characters of all time. He'll be missed in the up, and coming film. I'll still watch it. I hear they have a little voice cameo from Mr. Pleasance. Can't wait.
Yeah that's the thing
It's super hard to follow up Donald Pleasance's performance
@@tbonevideos23 Very true. At least Malcolm McDowell's performance as Loomis was great. Pretty much the only good part of Rob Zombie's Halloween.
@@tbonevideos23 I think their performances are equal.
Damnit Brad, Your going to run out of Halloween movies soon enough, then you will HAVE to finally do Halloween 3: Season of the witch.
It wasn't terrible... It was just not what people wanted. Still a good horror movie, just not a good Halloween movie.
Brad still has to do Rob Zombie's Halloween II first. LMAO!
*you're
Don't worry, the porno spoof comes next. "Waggles eyebrows".
Todd Riverden that movie is great
It's not awful because it's a remake, it's awful because every single character needs to die, but some of them fail to do so!
I feel so bad for the actor playing Young Michael Myers, though. He's gonna have the badness of this remake stained onto him forever.
This and the "Asshole" kid in Hancock
You know, it's kind of sad that Rob Zombie made this instead of a full-length Werewolf Women of the SS.
So much potential, wasted.
I would have only watched Werewolf Women of the SS is it featured Nicholas Cage as Fu-Manchu.
Anything less is a ripoff.
I forget who has the rights but they won't let him make it. He's said in multiple interviews he wants to make of and even Nick cage is on board
I love how his face changes in the first couple minutes lol
The best part of this movie is the Spy Kids guy spewing obscene dialogue.
This movie gave you EXACTLY what you thought you would get in a Halloween movie directed by Rob Zombie for better or worse depending on your point of view.
Definitely worse.
So much worse.
Better.
I actually like this Duology.
Rob Zombie did a great job making Michael Myers a funny joke instead of frightening.
"Oh shit, she shot herself into the sequel,"
It hurts how true that line was.
11:14-11:21 Halloween Remake in 7 seconds.
Nail it
I have to admit, I always laugh at the scene where Michael pushes Paul's body with the pumpkin smashed on his head and it starts swinging, and he steps back and tilts his head a little bit....
Aw man, now all those Michael Meyers apologists are gonna DMCA this too!
And I think Rob Zombie has great ideas, but problems with execution. For instance: this whole "troubled upbringing" origin. So the absolute epitome of evil was created by having a worse-than-average house life?? What if he'd had an idyllic life with everything handed to him, but STILL turned out to be Michael Meyers?? Wouldn't THAT be an interesting take? "No matter what, he was ALWAYS going to be evil." Because trying to "justify" it with a bad upbringing is just...dull?
Well the original gives you the had a normal home life but ended up a murderer anyway option. I think Rob zombie just wanted to explore the other option. It's like the whole nature vs nurture debate. The original implies that even with a seemingly perfectly normal middle class upbringing Michael was going to turn into a murderer no matter what. His brain was just wired differently. Nothing could have prevented it. This one implies that it's his crappy childhood that made him this way and that things possibly could have been different if his household had been more stable. In the real world many serial killers come from both backgrounds. Some had perfectly healthy and normal childhoods and ended up monsters anyway because they were just born that way and others grew up in horrible conditions that turned them into monsters.
My prayers (and screams of anguish at this film) were finally answered...
Still better than the screams this movie ended on.
I absolutely love the jokes in this, specially the ones related to bands/metal they are all so perfect, the Master of Puppets one being easily my favorite!
18:55 Fun Fact: There was a planned ending where at that part, Michael would have a flashback and lets go of Laurie, then gets gunned down. The end. It was poorly recieved by test screeners and is only in the semi-lost Producers cut. Same thing with the prison escape, It being Michael killing 2 of the guards while they were escorting him, although they wanted something more intense so it was cut out and reshot.
Right, because that was the only part of this movie that needed to be changed, the payoff from the buildup in the opening before Michael is committed. It wasn't worth changing the opening itself, which would be less painful if its audio was just nails on chalkboards for 5 minutes.
I have never clicked a video so fast!
Same, like a god damn lunatic with a fringe or something
Good god... I never saw this movie (or any "Halloween" movie) but have fond memories of reading the "Abridged Script" in college. I constantly had to leave the computer lab for the laughing fits. Seeing everything the Editing Room was parodying actually play out, and hosted by the Cinema Snob, is my Halloween joy.
I'm not used to seeing Brad Dourif not playing the crazy guy.
"no matter WHATTTT"
If Michael's childhood had been explored in a more "We Need To Talk About Kevin" kind of way, with Deborah Myers and Loomis as the leads, it would be so much better. You could drop the Laurie plot entirely and just have it be a prequel. Kind of like The Thing 2011 but not a steaming pile of shit.
Ah the return of Ben Tramer. I may be a little hyped for it.
Unfortunately he's been SLANDERED!!!!
October is here! Can't wait to see the snobs Halloween videos this month.
What really bothered me about Malcom McDowell's portrayal of Loomis is that he's so obsessed with the celebrity status that being Micheal Myers' doctor gives and that he exploits the shit out of it. Donald Pleasance's Loomis would be disgusted by someone like him. He just wanted Micheal dead or locked away forever to protect society from him. He didn't care about being famous. He would have scoffed at the very idea of exploiting Micheal's actions for personal gain.
I totally agree!
I didn't like that, either, cause Donald Pleasance's dr. Loomis wasn't like that. He cared about keeping people safe from Michael myers, not wanting to be famous. And don't get me started on this Laurie Strode.
"That was more satisfying than leaving Twitter!"
There you are 😏
I actually thought it would be Brads favorite? The movie uses the same language they use in their reviews.
Is brad gender neutral now
@@NinjaTylerBlack I wondered the same lol
Ninja Tyler Black... did you just assume the neutrality of a persons gender? I'm callin' the cops.
Zombie should've renamed his version ``Fuckaween"
Now it is *truly* October.
This might be one of the best Snob episodes in a while; some of biggest laughs I’ve had. Also, thanks for pointing out that this movie is more just uneven and obnoxious than it is just purely awful.
I prefer the 1978 Original one, Cinema Snob.
Who doesn't?
Lots of people do... but nothing is wrong liking the 2007 remake... just the inevitable douchebagery that comes with unpopular opinions.
controversial opinion there, dude
Missed opportunity to say "thank you very much" instead of "Cinema Snob."
I can respect something that tries its best and fails more than something that doesn't try it all. It's not always about the result, but the effort.
Rob Zombie's wife is cute, Reminds me of a woman I work with, Malcom McDowell was too good for this movie, It is good to see Danielle Harris in a movie again especially after her sadly being stalked, She was a great child actress and is pretty good here
“He’s prolly a queer”
Has me dying everytime
Even though some people think Rob Zombie's Halloween is the death of all cinema, and I have some issues with it myself, just imagine if it was remade by Michael Bay...
The opening is set in 1992(And Michael is 10 which would place his birth sometime in the mid-late 1980`s explaining the Kiss shirt and the longer hair of the male characters in the opening) and the modern day scenes are set in the year it was released(2007).
When it comes to Rob Zombie's Halloween, I can take it or leave it. Don't love it, don't hate it. But I would watch it all day every day rather than suffer through Resurrection again.
Hey Brad, I hope you’re doing okay bro. People on the internet can be assholes but you’re great and you’re always making great content. I know I’m just a random internet stranger but I’ll always have your back. 🤟🏻
It's always great to have a cinema snob video to start off the month.
I didnt like how the characters look
Rob zombie gave the devils rejects look to all of his characters!!!
Your review is the Best ive seen here
Saludos desde México señor cinema snob
This movie was the first time I ever walked out of a theater. I was 16 at the time and my mom wanted to go see it as a huge fan of the series. I got so annoyed about half way through that I went to the arcade and played Cruisin' USA instead. I finally saw it in full a few years later and spent the whole time wishing I could have Tina from Halloween 5 back.
Did anyone else catch the “Last BoyScout” reference? Odd coincidence- I used to be friends with Danielle Harris’ father- she lived with her mom, at the time, from whom my buddy was divorced. He had the Clown costume that Danielle wore in Season of the Witch- she gave it to him a few years after she was in the movie. He was a really nice guy, it’s a shame that I haven’t seen him in almost 20 years. By the way- this channel is fucking hilarious! I just stumbled across it today, and have now been binge watching it for the last 4 and a half hours-
I hate this film. And while I can respect defenders of this film, I think you will find that Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 completely loses everyone that defended the previous film
Yeah this film has its fans for some reason I fail to understand but almost no one likes the second one.
Yeah, I'm one of like 6 people in the world that prefers H2. I guess it's just how experimental it is, and how I really enjoy a horror sequel delving into the psychological trauma that would be left on the main characters from the first film. No other horror series has ever genre switched like that. If these movies went from grounded slasher film to psychological thriller, that would be pretty cool.
All the bits with Michael are the worst parts of H2 for me, and I know the Laurie stuff is kind of annoying and not acted all that well, but I like the way it's written. It's a big guilty pleasure of mine, I don't think it's nearly as atrocious as most people say.
@@robertyeah2259 your last sentence is me with all Rob zombie films. The man has artistic visions for his films and he stubbornly makes that vision happen come hell or high water. Some of those visions just translate better than others.
But there is a right way and a wrong way to portray that on screen. In addition to the fact that the family of assholes are just asshole stereotypes with no variations whatsoever, it just seems like everyone in this remake is foul-mouthed, loud, and annoying (with the exception of Dr. Loomis and Sheriff Bracket, who are both ironically played by actors who have played iconic movie killers). Virtually everyone else is portrayed as some sort of asshole, regardless of their role in the film, which doesn't create a realistic world and therefore makes this sort of stuff stand out like a sore thumb
Honestly, I prefer Resurrection over the Rob Zombie films. Zombie’s films are terribly written (seriously, it’s like he had a quota for every swear word in existence), and I still don’t like that they gave Michael Myers a backstory (especially the generic abusive family trope). Resurrection is completely ridiculous and poorly made, but it’s got a lot of so bad it’s good qualities to it. How can you not laugh at Busta Rhymes telling off the real Michael Myers and his kung fu moves?
FINALLY! I CAN'T WAIT TO ENJOY EVERY EPISODE THIS MONTH
Fun Fact: the guy who plays Michael Myers(Tyler Mane) also played sabertooth in the first x men movie.
This was a very balanced review of a polarizing horror film. Fantastic work, sir!
Had pretty much the same opinion. Malcom as Loomis was great, there was great genre casting, but otherwise, it's...not good.
The casting was terrible ha, they made Michael Myers way too big, he looked more like Jason in a shitty MM mask 🤣
A perfect video to start the month with!
Oh boy!!! Now that's the Snob intro I need to get me going
Been waiting all day for this!
"Loomis and Chief Brackett realize they need to drive off and make their own buddy cop movie"
Now *that* I want to watch
I really enjoyed the remake of Halloween.. it was completely different. I liked that Rob did his own version by giving us a new story.
Your Malcolm Mcdowell impression is on point.
Shes got a nice dumper on er! Still the only line to bring my mom to tears of laughter lol
The first one is watchable, at least, the second half is. The entirety of part 2? Can’t say I enjoy that. Rob Zombie just made everyone even more unlikable. He made Myers a supernatural killer even though he criticized the others for having a supernatural Myers. He had scenes like the strip club scene where he just needlessly kills people. Just really dislike part 2.
Couldn't agree more. I liked this one. I HATED Zombie's 2nd Halloween movie.
Agreed. It tried to do something new while keeping a lot of what people liked about the original Halloween and Halloween 2.
Zombie's sequel was painfully bad.
I think sometimes Rob zombie's "artistic vision" for a movie leads him very far down the wrong path. His Halloween sequel is a perfect example of that.
Unpopular opinion H2 is a masterpiece
I always read the second one as him killing everyone he blamed for making him into what he was. He slaughtered everyone at the strip club because that was where his mom used to work, and her being a stripper led to him being bullied.
Don’t get me wrong, still stupid, but not pointless.
I used to have a theater down the South Jersey shore. I remember my staff and I were all really excited about this. We got together to watch it before its release......and mid way into the movie we brought lights up and talked....or wandered around the building. And when Zombies Halloween 2 came out I could not remember anything about this movies 3rd act. Never bothered with 2. On plus side I actually really like Lords of Salem
i loved the look of fall in Massachusetts and the obvious sets for the flashback scenes. felt like something out of a Bava film. I liked the cast. the design felt like a Polanski film and had a weird baby monster thing in a cool old theater
This movie needs to put all its budget in the swear jar
I've got quite the potty mouth, but even this movie made me cringe with the gratuitous amount of F-Bombs.
I hear that. I DO say 'fuck' a lot. But, so many movies are made these days where "fuck" "fucker" "fucking", etc is half of the dialogue. It's ridiculous.
That’s basically all of Rob Zombie’s dialogue. His movie are well shot and directed but the writing makes me roll my eyes it’s so over the top.
It's ridiculous, and it gets extremely annoying fast.
I can't wait to see the new Halloween movie
Hooray, a Doom Generation reference! That means somebody saw that movie besides me!
(I do love the soundtrack to it)
I waited a year for this!!!
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life. Oh lord
Sherry Moon is so pretty, I lol'ed at Forscythe as her husband.
“I’m not listening! EEEEEHHHHHHH!!!”
I was so happy to see this pop up in my feed, what a great way to start October.
...dear lord was this movie bad. It wasted some genuinely good performances and..completely missed the point of what makes Michael Meyer's actually scary, the idea that any ordinary person can just snap with no rhyme or reason. Instead we get a completely generic, cliche serial killer background story and a slasher flick full of genuinely unlikable characters. Granted it was better on its own merits than the followup....ugh.
I never got the vibe from the original that the idea is, that just any ordinary person can snap. Especially not from Lumis' commentary on Michael. Michael was just evil incarnate, incable of rehabilitation, so sociopathic as to be nigh demonic, not some commentary on simply being a normy who snapped into a crazy, which this remake also certainly failed to grasp. Hell, showing Michael as a kid in the beginning of the original doing this stuff seemed to blatantly be establishing this aspect from the jump. Michael wasn't some weathered individual who just snapped from a life of suffering or something, he was just a child that simply got to where he was finally capable enough of manifesting his evil into action at that point.
When this movie first came out I tried really hard to like it, and I seriously gave it every fucking chance, but it just repeatedly let me down. The beginning scene with the drunk step dad and his ridiculous dialogue was a huge red flag right out of the gate, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt and soldiered on. Dedicating the first 3rd of the movie to Michael's fucked up childhood was a very unpopular decision by Zombie that a lot of people hated, but I thought it had potential and gave Zombie a chance to make it his own, and it had some decent moments but overall it hurt the movie because every fucking adult in his life was a complete and total asshat. When he finally started killing people I slightly got back into the movie because most of the kills were decently filmed and satisfyingly violent and semi realistic, like the way his sister's boyfriend went into those crazy spasms after the baseball bat to the head, that's how the body reacts to severe head trauma. So by the time he was institutionalized I was ready to give the movie another chance, but the scene with the nurse is where I completely checked out. That fucking scene is one of the dumbest and worst scenes in horror movie history and was the moment where I finally gave up and came to the conclusion that this movie isn't artsy or the gritty realistic film Zombie was trying to make, it was a cheap and dumb imitation of a classic. Seriously though, that nurse scene is just painful to watch. That dumb bitch knew Michael was a psychopath who murdered multiple people, so she decides to immediately insult him and talk shit to him after giving him a METAL fork, then turns her back on him to read her paper. What institution that houses psycho killers gives the inmates metal silverware? Have they never heard of plastic sporks? So not only does she arm him with a deadly weapon, she talks shit right to his face, then turns around. She might as well have just painted a target on her back and just told him to go ahead and kill her because she didn't do a single thing to let the audience know that she wasn't just some victim for Mikey.
This is the first time I've heard "Choking the Chicken" outside of Rocko's Modern Life.
As someone who really enjoyed the pre-remake portions of this film, I was prepared to defend its honor... but fair enough.
I still say Zombie did a good job supplying a non-explanation to Mikey in line with research into serial killers. He had an unpleasant childhood, but nothing so awful as to "explain" him... he just reacted in a twisted way to these stressors and was a seriously creepy kid.
But Rob was completely the wrong guy for a suburban horror movie like Carpenter's original and the wheels came off when it stopped being white trashy.
"...Oh... i think i get it now." Nice delivery and expression. The slow realisation of what the film will be like
This was sooooo worth the wait, fantastic review!!!!!!!
18:40 - Sorry, Scout. Likeable as you were being Laurie Strode, you just couldn't pull off that line as well as Jamie Lee Curtis did.
An excellent and hilarious review!
A moment of silence now for all the great actors that could have been in an amazing horror movie together but instead were in Rob Zombie movies before dying.
How dare this film tarnish the good name of ben tramer
Took me a while to actually like you, but after a few videos, I actually dig your sense of humor.
You're a fun dude.
Been waiting all day for this
I've been waiting for this since your review of Halloween Resurrection and I think this may be your best Halloween review yet (in my opinion of course)
Jail...
THE MASK. not son of the mask
Raymond Frand MASK.
AND HE'S OUT OF CONTROL...
Anyone ready for Halloween 2018 movie?
I've watched this movie before with the mindset that it's supposed to be a comedy. And honestly, I think it's on par with Mel Brooks!
Damn, Daeg Faerch (the young Michael Myers) does a good impression of my annoying sister.
1:29 You mention all these people and forget to give sidd haig some love? Maan
14:34 OK fair enough XD
