Yo guys when I get to film school I’m going to remake this movie lots people don’t really like this very much for multiple reasons even though I love this movie so I’m going to remake as kind of a fan film / edit so if there’s anything I can do to make this movie better or you guys think I should add pls let me know in the comments 👌
I remember renting H20 and then after that I got the original Halloween for Christmas. But Scream was my first taste into the horror genre at the age of 12
And thus Dimension Films became known as the place where horror franchises go to die. Or suffer in perpetual DTV hell, which is kind of the same thing.
Trust me, I know it’s NEVER gonna happen, but I’d kill to have Daniel Farrands’ original full script directed by Joe Chappelle, with NO studio bullshit interference. Literally start from scratch. By all counts, Daniel’s original script was incredible, and I love the feel and atmosphere that Joe created with his direction.
"Ahead of its time." I'll always have a soft spot for this movie -- I remember reading the Fangoria articles decades ago, before it even came out, and it was the first Halloween film I ever saw in a theater -- but acting like H6 was 'Hereditary' before the world was ready for that is pure horseplay.
H6 is an awesome horror movie, one of the scariest. On the other hand, Hereditary is mediocre, overrated garbage. I watched it recently, but even my usual skeptical attitude before watching it wasn't enough. I was totally unprepared for what a monstrously ordinary movie Ari Astaire's notorious work would turn out to be...
Since Laurie’s story is concluded Jamie should have her story retold the right way. She was definitely one of my favorite characters in the series and she definitely deserved better the way they killed her off in Halloween 6 was so disrespectful especially to Danielle Harris whom I love as a scream queen
The thing that made Halloween great, was it's slow and suspenseful pace. Something that H20 and every movie after 7 forgot.. The first two did it best including atmosphere
You know the film struggled badly behind the scenes, legal rights and all, but for me it came out beautiful at the day. I've only seen the theatrical version which is the version I love the best. I want to check out the producers cut now to see which version I love better.
@thomasmichael46 I guess that would make sense. I haven't seen the producers cut in a while so it could just be that I don't remember. I think both cuts of the film are trash, but I also know it has it's fans.
While I appreciate many things about the direction of the producers cut of Halloween 6, there are still things that I love from the theatrical version and so I'm currently working on my own mix of the two releases as a sort of personal project I want to take on! I've always wanted to make my own personal cut of Halloween 6 because I truly believe it could be a great film if done right! It won't be easy but should be lots of fun!
Producers cut was a much better movie all together minus the part where Michael got his niece pregnant, and the horrible way Jamie Lloyd was killed off, but that part was bad with both versions. So damn if you do, and damn if you don't
I wish that they would have gotten Danielle Harris to play because when the other actress gets killed everyone is like " um.. Ok" and just shrugs their shoulders, she had no emotional value. Also if they would have gotten a good story line all of the Halloween movie would have been really good, but also there is some good movies in this franchise.
I will say the producer's cut only needed some touch ups, the complete removing of scenes, a new ending, and challenging the cult angle was unnecessary. They should have added the flash montages, tiny moments of gore, and maybe add to the ending. When making a film you got to have a clear vision of what you're doing otherwise stuff like H6 happens.
Minus the black white sequence where Jamie Dies in the hospital but there are no gunshot victims in Halloween films. Also minus the 3rd act of the film.
I do to. I didn't like the stones controlling Michael. I didn't like Jamie being shot in the hospital. I dont like the Loomis getting the mark of thorn . some is the best moments of this film are in the theatrical cut. The hospital chase
the story and script with cult etc, was inadequate, irrelevant and just plain stupid. it NOTHING to do with the series. As much as the producers think it was, it Was NOT some awesome cool way to change the series. They should have made a new movie with a different plot, but not call it "halloween" because just like Halloween III, it is NOT part of the Halloween series in the eyes of the public. Congrats on ur creative little changes, but wrong time, wrong film, wrong series. The only reason anyone watched it was because it was the "next one, part 6" of the "halloween" series. But it was a disappointment, just plain weird, fans hate it, and even Paul Rudd has stated it was "the most embarassing role in his career" and that he was not a fan of it. I am sure Akkad won't cry over this review, but he should know that this movie is in the same boat as H3. aka crap/not the "halloween" series. Epic Fail.
the Halloween franchise should of had a remake after part 4.. showing Michael surviving in part 5 some other way then floating down stream and ending up in some fisherman's house.. part 1,2 and 4 were all great movies ... Halloween 2018 remake was bullshit also along with the Rob Zombie ones
I enjoyed the 2018 movie (even though they completely ignored part II which I didn't like). 5 and 6 had some things going on for them imo. However, ending the original series end after 4 then going into a remake does sound interesting.
@@JaceTheSnake92 after watching the 2018 movie 2 more times it got better, althou i would of liked a chase scene, like when he pops out of the closet.. instead of tripping i would of liked him stalking down his prey but i guess they are trying to make him seem older so less walking?
@@michaeledwards1644 never got the notification but anyway yeah, come to think about it that's probably why ol Myers didn't really do any chasing. Probably did it to cause they want to make him supernatural but they want to show that even The Shape has limits. Even age can have some effect.
@Envoy unfortunately many people have the notion that the first 1978 movie is the only good movie and all the others are just shit. Not that they didn't (looking at you Resurrection) but I think it's mostly for that 1978 Halloween nostalgia why they went with the direction they did. Honestly I think if it was better fleshed out, the curse of thorn aspect could be better, but Michael Myers is more interesting when you don't know as much about him. Quentin Tarantinos pitch I think had potential IMO. I just enjoy seeing Michael raising hell the way he did in the 2018 film. I'm a simple man lol That being said, BRING BACK DANIELLE HARRIS ALREADY!!! #danielleharrisforhalloween
@ Neither one of them conceived the idea or wrote the material that gave us Halloween. They are responsible for all the garbage that came from the 80's and after. John Carpenter's material is easy to identify if you watch his films. Most of the franchise is not his creation.

Not sure what went wrong with this sequel but Akkad shoulda left it alone long ago. I like him as a producer he's smart but if it aint broke dont fix. Then Rob Zombie ruined it and now Akkads son just ruined it with the latest trilogy.
